The AXA Foundation for Human Progress, UNESCO, and the Journal Nature Invite Youth to Join Science

"A New Generation of Scientists" is an international campaign inspiring young people to choose scientific careers. Through a series of portraits, it highlights young researchers from around the world who embody interdisciplinary and committed science as an essential lever to change the world.

Repair Today, Prepare for Tomorrow

Because the future should not be a risk, but an opportunity to act together, the AXA Foundation for Human Progress pioneers bold new forms of action and solidarity. It tackles today’s major risks to mend the present and dare tomorrow.

ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The AXA Foundation for Human Progress is dedicated to supporting high-impact projects that are essential to social cohesion and solidarity.

With an annual budget of €60 million - making it one of the leading players in corporate philanthropy in France and Europe -, it brings together under a single banner the philanthropic commitments of AXA Group and AXA Mutuelles d’assurances across four historic areas: Science, Nature, Solidarity and Culture.

The Foundation aims to build more inclusive and resilient societies, both today and for generations to come.

United for Impact

Communities actively working to drive positive change for all and to reduce all forms of vulnerability and social inequality are invited by the Foundation to join forces around the four pillars of action - Science, Nature, Solidarity and Culture - to tackle the challenges facing our societies. Partners from the associative, institutional, academic, and cultural sectors that share its values and its vision of protection and a culture of prevention play a key role in this collective commitment to human progress.

A Transdisciplinary and Cross-Cutting Approach

Faced with complex, interconnected risks, our societies need solutions that dare to cross disciplinary boundaries. Today’s major risks - from climate change and biodiversity loss to health crises, social fragmentation and technological disruption - are deeply interdependent and cannot be addressed in isolation. This vision is embodied in flagship programs such as the AXA Chairs, which promote transdisciplinary research and are co-developed with non-academic partners to ensure that scientific insights lead to concrete societal action.

The AXA Foundation for Human Progress is designed as a lab for philanthropic innovation. By crossing disciplines and prioritizing impact in every initiative, we aim to deliver agile, sustainable responses to today's most pressing social and environmental challenges. It is about actively shaping a resilient and inclusive future. Through this foundation, we affirm our commitment to present and future generations.
