1994-2024 — The Institut Henri Poincaré celebrates the 30th anniversary of its refoundation

Start date : - End date :

Presentation

Since its creation in 1928, the Institut Henri Poincaré has undergone several major changes. Its history is closely linked to that of the 20th and 21st centuries and to the development of mathematics and theoretical physics during this period. Renowned internationally, IHP of today is faithful to its heritage.

This mini-exhibition presents the major involvement of scientists and their reflections on the profound overhaul of the institute in the 1980s. The restructured IHP was officially inaugurated in 1994, following major works to its building and changes to its official status.

This year we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of this metamorphosis!
