Making a Living from Research

“Can you make a living from research? Are there still research grants available?”

That’s the question someone asked us on the street.

Sylvain Soucaze, head of recruitment at the Institut Pasteur, answers: Yes, it’s possible!

• Continuing education: Every year, about 100 students join the campus to pursue their doctorates.
• International calls for proposals: The Institute regularly supports promising young researchers by entrusting them with their first research team.
• A unique ecosystem: 800 researchers, 150 research units, and dozens of disciplines all in one place to foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
• 30 technology platforms: state-of-the-art equipment and experts to operate it.
• Funding support teams: assistance with your applications for French, European, and international grants.
• Beyond the lab: an open, multicultural, and inclusive campus.

Science comes at a cost, and the Institut Pasteur is a private foundation that operates thanks to your generosity.
