Partnerships

The Foundation works to promote the making of exhibitions, in association with the Cité staff.

Twenty is a great age! How many adventures have been shared between the FVE and the Groupe PSA Peugeot Citroen in those years! Companies are a sometimes-disregarded source of wealth. The Fondation has opened up the world of science museums to them all the way to China!

Whether the exhibitions were initiated by the CSI or proposed by companies, the Foundation plays the role of a catalyst: accompanied by specifically designated committees of experts, it participates in the project conception, analysis, evaluation, and follow-up. Regardless of who was at the origin of the project, it is the CSI staff that exercises control of editorial content and museography.

 

In addition, the Foundation and its partners contribute to the educational approach of the CSI in a variety of ways: partners regularly participate in the Cité's conferences; some take charge of the educational support material set up in the media library in 2006; others supply educational kits to teachers who want to prepare for visits.
