The Institute for Advanced Study in Nantes is one of the 27 partner institutes of the CAT (Constructive Advanced Thinking) initiative, a European program that supports the creation of networks of promising early-career researchers engaged in developing innovative ideas to understand and address contemporary and emerging societal challenges.
Entirely exploratory, bottom-up, and non-thematic, the program encourages collaboration between academia and actors from civil society—including businesses, policymakers, NGOs, and other partners—around innovative research projects. The selected groups are offered short stays at participating institutes, including the IEA of Nantes, where they can develop their ideas further and engage with fellows and local research communities.
