A Fund dedicated to the drivers of behavioural change for Future Generations.

“My work as a psychotherapist brought me into contact with people facing personal difficulties that caused them suffering and who wanted to ‘find a way forward’.

The notion of change therefore emerged naturally.

But what should we change? How should we change? Change towards what? And what risks are we prepared to take?

These questions concern us all at a societal level, with growing urgency given current events and the way the world is evolving.

The Mutatio Fund aims to encourage research into this broad issue.

Another aspect of the Fund is to create a supportive ecosystem for all the young laureates recognised by the Foundation.”

The Fund’s activities

The MUTATIO Fund seeks to understand and support the dynamics of change.

Its activities focus on two areas: 

  • Encouraging students to conduct research into the drivers of behavioural change. The Fund contributes to the creation of an award dedicated to the drivers of behavioural change needed to help build a sustainable world, as part of the HERA Awards. This award is primarily aimed at students and recent graduates in psychology, social sciences and philosophy.

  • Creating a supportive ecosystem for all the young laureates recognised by the Foundation for Future Generations. Through a series of annual gatherings, laureates have the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and develop their thinking over the long term. This ecosystem supports their professional and personal development, as well as their ability to act as drivers of the transformation of our society towards a more sustainable model of development.
