Le Grand Action

2017-2021

The Grand Action is a former palm court. In the 19th century, it housed a popular ball, before being converted to a theater in the early years of the century. In 1980, the place began its final transformation into a cinema. The editorial line of the Grand Action is guided by the axis From Hollywood to Cinecitta, from yesterday to today, which implies the creation of a permanent link between exclusivities and heritage. We believe that this programming must be supported by an ambitious policy of theater animation. We organize more than 200 events per year. Our commitment to the IHP Endowment Fund is an extension of the organization with the IHP of the Universes Convergents film club, which will be held for the sixth time in 2019.

The Endowment Fund in a few words...

It has the capacity to receive funds exclusively from the private sector from individuals or legal entities whose passions are in line with those of the Institut Henri Poincaré.

The Fund's Board of Directors was chaired by Cédric Villani from its inception until March 7, 2019, when Sylvie Benzoni took over as interim Chair. Vincent Lefieux, representing the Cercle des entreprises partenaires de l'IHP on the Board of Directors, was elected President on May 29, 2019.
Through the Endowment Fund, companies and individuals can support the projects carried out by IHP by making financial, in-kind or skill-based contributions.

Eligible for corporate or income tax reductions, these contributions complement state and local funding of IHP projects.

The founding organizations of the Fund : CNRS, Sorbonne University (formerly UPMC), and three learned societies in mathematics - the Société Mathématique de France (SMF), the SMAI (Société des Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles), the SFdS (Société Française de Statistiques).
