The Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales was born in 1795. For more than two centuries, under various names, the Langues O' have undergone countless evolutions and upheavals. Dive into our institution's rich history with lectures presented by Emmanuel Lozerand, university professor and head of the "History of Inalco" mission.
Inalco Foundation conferences
The Fondation Inalco organizes numerous conferences reaffirming essential elements of Inalco's identity: the establishment's academic tradition (Master Classes with leading academics), diplomatic roots ("Grand témoin" conferences with leading diplomats), preservation of rare or endangered languages and the diversity of its alumni's professional backgrounds.
"Grand témoin" lectures
The Inalco Foundation's "Grand témoin" lectures invite personalities placed in exceptional circumstances to share their experience of "frontline diplomacy". They are aimed at students who are studying diplomacy, as well as a wider public interested in the subject under discussion.
Master Classes
The Inalco Foundation's Master Classes invite leading academics to speak on a subject of their choice within Inalco's themes and current events. They are aimed at students and also at a wider public interested in the subject being addressed.
L'Asie en conférences
Inalco and Asialyst, the news website for the whole of Asia, are offering a series of debates devoted to current issues in Asia.
Sexual and gender-based violence worldwide
Thanks to the support of the Fondation - Institut Alain de Rothschild, the Inalco Foundation is offering a series of conferences on sexual and gender violence around the world. It brings together gender specialists with varied profiles from extremely diverse cultural areas, in order to enrich and extend the reflection begun as part of Inalco's "Gender and Sexuality in the World" degree course. In 2023-2024, the theme of the cycle was "The construction of gender: beyond binarity".
Conferences organized by the Observatory of Post-Soviet States
The Observatory of Post-Soviet States (OEPS), directed by Catherine Poujol and Taline Ter Minassian, worked on research and analysis of regional reorganization processes in the post-Soviet space, media monitoring of political, economic and geopolitical news in the post-Soviet states, and the study of heritage and architecture in these states. Until 2024, OEPS coordinated regular scientific activities, published works, some of which have become veritable tools for understanding the "post-Soviet transition", and organized "breakfasts" devoted to the political, economic, geopolitical news of the post-Soviet states.
