TIRIS – Toulouse Initiative for Research’s Impact on Society
Make the notion of science in and for society a core element of our identity
Mobilizing and strengthening the scientific excellence of the Toulouse site to address the major challenges of tomorrow. By bringing together researchers and societal actors, TIRIS is developing new ways of collaborating—more interdisciplinary, more impactful, and more sustainable. The objective: to tackle scientific challenges and develop solutions to environmental and societal issues.
The TIRIS project is a catalyst for the transformation of the Toulouse campus, a testing ground for exploring other ways of working together to become a visible, impactful and attractive academic player in the world of the 21st century.

The Toulouse academic community reaches out to researchers in difficulty around the world
Faced with the threats and drastic, targeted budget cuts affecting research around the world, Toulouse’s university community is offering to host researchers whose work is under threat. With the support of the Occitanie Region and the French government, and in line with the scientific priorities of the TIRIS project, this initiative is opening up the first ten hosting opportunities.
Over the next 3 years, these funding opportunities will be open to post-docs and advanced researchers. A major effort will also be made to help those who wish to protect data whose archiving could be threatened.
Additional measures may be introduced, particularly targeting postdoctoral researchers whose funding has been cut off around the world.
