Pasteurdon supporters – a series of images and faces
Whether leading family workshops during the Open Day, lacing up their trainers to pound the pavements in support of the Institut Pasteur, becoming an extra for the campaign films, forming a colorful and rhythmical number 15 on the CIS forecourt to celebrate an anniversary edition, taking to the catwalk with a graffitied lab coat, completing the "24 Hours of Le Mans" on roller blades, combating viruses, competing in the La Baule Triathlon for Pasteurdon, or participating in a flash mob with a lab coat and boxing gloves – year after year, scientists, technicians and support staff have formed a chain of solidarity in aid of Pasteurdon.
For this 20th anniversary edition, to illustrate the commitment of Institut Pasteur staff and pay tribute to their efforts, a series of portraits and testimonials has been displayed on screens on campus since this morning.
Don't miss this chance to see the faces and stories of those involved in Pasteurdon over the years:
Share on social media and take part in the staff competition!
This year's campaign is focused on connections: the connection between science and society, between research and patients, and between the Institut Pasteur and the public. As Institut Pasteur President Yasmine Belkaid highlighted in her message on September 24 (see the newsletter from September 25): “Whether you are a scientist, a technician, a healthcare worker or a member of an administrative or support team, you all have something to say about what connects you to the Institut Pasteur and its missions and values. Share it with us! And we'll help you to share it with the public.”
Social media: follow the guide!
To share your testimonials on social media, a best practices guide (in French) produced by the Department of Communications and Public Affairs is available on the ePasteur intranet.
The Institut Pasteur's social media accounts will then relay and amplify your content to illustrate the engagement of all staff and support the appeal for donations.
There is still time to take part in the staff competition – all formats accepted!
Longer or shorter texts, anecdotes, audio or video messages, drawings, illustrations or photos – tell the world, in your own way, what connects you to the Institut Pasteur and its mission. Describe, in your own words, what connects you to the institute and its mission through a creative, inspiring, or unexpected story.
How to enter: send your contribution to the internal communications team (cominterne@pasteur.fr) before this evening, Friday October 2 at midnight.
