Our 3 major challenges
In response to climate change, ecosystem degradation and increasing health risks, the Fondation One Science Montpellier is committed to impact-oriented science, capable of informing our choices and proposing sustainable solutions.
Our scientific community is conducting research projects on three major issues at the heart of future transitions:

To respond effectively to these challenges, the Fondation One Science Montpellier supports researchers through strategic programmes on targeted themes. These programmes enable us to focus our philanthropic action, concentrate our funding and bring together the most committed partners around scientific priorities.
Giving researchers the means, the time and the freedom to act is our daily mission. Today, the Foundation focuses its efforts on three flagship programmes:
Our values
Cooperation
