L’IFAS-Recherche<\/strong> a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 en 1995 par le minist\u00e8re fran\u00e7ais des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res et le Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) pour r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la volont\u00e9 de la France de participer \u00e0 la construction de la nouvelle Afrique du Sud en y d\u00e9veloppant des recherches dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales. Aujourd\u2019hui, son mandat r\u00e9gional ne se limite pas \u00e0 la R\u00e9publique sud-africaine, mais couvre \u00e9galement onze autres pays d\u2019Afrique australe et centrale (Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibie, R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo, Zambie et Zimbabwe).<\/p>\n

Depuis sa cr\u00e9ation, l\u2019Institut a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 trois grands domaines d\u2019expertise :<\/p>\n

\u2014 axe 1 : arch\u00e9ologie, pal\u00e9oanthropologie, pr\u00e9histoire ;<\/p>\n

\u2014 axe 2 : histoire, histoire de l\u2019art, patrimoine ;<\/p>\n

\u2014 axe 3 : dynamiques contemporaines.<\/p>\n

Sa mission \u2014 en tant qu\u2019Unit\u00e9 mixte des instituts fran\u00e7ais de recherche \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger (UMIFRE) \u2014 est d\u2019encourager des recherches scientifiques (collectives ou individuelles) par le biais d\u2019appels \u00e0 projets annuels. L\u2019IFAS-Recherche soutient ainsi une trentaine de sp\u00e9cialistes de l\u2019Afrique, issus de diff\u00e9rentes disciplines (histoire, g\u00e9ographie, anthropologie, arch\u00e9ologie, sciences politiques, etc.). Il aide \u00e9galement les chercheurs europ\u00e9ens et africains \u00e0 r\u00e9aliser des travaux de terrain, \u00e0 organiser des \u00e9v\u00e9nements scientifiques (colloques, journ\u00e9es d’\u00e9tude, s\u00e9minaires, etc.) et \u00e0 diffuser leurs r\u00e9sultats (aide \u00e0 la publication, courts m\u00e9trages, etc.).<\/p>\n

L\u2019IFAS-Recherche\u00a0fait \u00e9galement partie du r\u00e9seau du GIS (Groupement d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat scientifique) \u00ab \u00c9tudes africaines en France<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n

IFAS-Research<\/strong> was founded in 1995 by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the French National Research Centre (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique \u2014 CNRS) to answer France\u2019s wish to take part in the construction of the new South Africa, by developing research in the field of human and social sciences. Nowadays, its regional mandate is not limited to the South African Republic, but also covers eleven other countries in southern and central Africa (South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Republic of the Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe).<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the Institute has developed 3 main domains of expertise:<\/p>\n

\u2014 area 1: archaeology, palaeoanthropology, prehistory;<\/p>\n

\u2014 area 2: history, history of art, heritage;<\/p>\n

\u2014 area 3: contemporary dynamics.<\/p>\n

Its mission \u2014as a French Research Centre (UMIFRE, Unit\u00e9 mixte des instituts fran\u00e7ais de recherche \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger)\u2014 is to encourage and subsidise scientific projects (collective or individual) through annual calls for proposals. IFAS-Research thus supports over thirty senior and junior specialists on Africa from various disciplines (history, geography, anthropology, archaeology, political science, etc.). It also assists European and African researchers to carry out fieldwork, organise scientific events (conferences, seminars, etc.) and disseminate their results (publication support, short films, etc.).<\/p>\n

IFAS-Research is also part of the academic network Groupement d’Int\u00e9r\u00eat Scientifique des \u00e9tudes africaines en France (GIS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
