Founded in 1962 on the initiative of Fernand Braudel, the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH) is dedicated to the promotion and support of research in the human and social sciences. It constitutes a platform for collaboration between institutions, researchers and research groups, and between disciplines on both a national and international scale. The FMSH organises national and international (European and extra-European) networks devoted to scientific co-operation, based on the confrontation of disciplines and on the internationalisation of research.
The FMSH brings together, under one roof, research centres in different disciplines of social sciences and humanities affiliated with various institutions: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Fondation Nationale des Sciences Politiques, Paris universities, etc.
The FMSH has a longstanding experience in hosting european and international research projects, most of them co-funded by European and international institutions. Among these projects, several have been funded by the European Commission. The projects hosted by the FMSH are initiated either by french researchers, either by researchers from other countries.
One of the chief FMSH’s research programmes is the ICT-Migrations (http://www.ticm.msh-paris.fr/ ) program which involves about 30 researchers from different disciplines : experts in migrations (geographers, sociologists, political scientists, etc.) working on distinct cultural fields and experts in ICT’s uses and/or archiving of digital content (computer specialists, information scientists, etc.). The scientific activities (projects, seminar, conferences) of the ICT-Migrations group focus on ICT’s uses by the migrants or concerning them, digital documents published on the Web by the migrants or dealing with migrations issues, concepts and methodologies fitted to the programme’s singular object of study.
