THE HISTORY OF POLYCULTURE

THE SPIRIT: open-mind, cross-borders, business & pleasure

Polyculture Spirit was initially founded in Japan (www.polyculture.net) by a high member of the first Japanese communication agency. He was working at this time with the French co-Founder Francois Lavergne and first diners started with the Nobel Prize Mr. Francois JACOB of the French Academy at our table.

Polyculture Clubs are aimed at sharing visions and good times between people with open-mind and cross-cultural experience or sensibility.

In each country, different type of events can be organized but with always the same goal to build “open minded, friendly and unique atmosphere”.

THE DEVELOPMENT: Polyculture, a raising brand

From 2002 to 2003, most of meetings in France were hold under the presidency of Mr. Hubert Curien, French physicist, key figure in European science politics, President of CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research, first chairman of the European Space Agency (ESA), and the second President of the European Scientific Academy. Born in the Vosges Region in eastern France next to Vittel and Contrex cities, Curien enlisted in the French resistance during World War II. After the war he studied Physics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure the most prestigious French Grande Ecole in Paris also known as Normale Sup. He became the Head of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 1969 the largest and most prominent public research organization in France with 26,000 permanent researchers and engineers, and was one of the founders of the European Science Foundation. He was also head of the French space agency. Hubert Curien was two times the Minister of Research of France. He entered the French Academy of Sciences in 1994 and became then the President of the French Academy of Science of the Institute of France and of the French Foundation. He was very keen on Asian and especially Japanese culture.

In 2004, Christophe George co-founded with Mr Francois Lavergne the new Polyculture Network and Club. With a Asia-Europe-Middle East focus, the Polyculture Network has and continue to gather many people from different nationalities and experiences (Business, Music, Painting, History, Psychology …).
