On May 28, 2025 at 5pm30, the French institute is pleased to invite Stéphane Guillot, geologist and scientific delegate to the CNRS Directorate for Risk Management and Sustainable Development, for a conference exploring environmental transition and natural hazards issues, and how the scientific community is addressing these challenges.

In a world disrupted by climate change, the issue of natural hazards to which societies are exposed is a fundamental subject. These natural hazards refer to all the threats posed by certain natural phenomena and events to populations, structures, and infrastructure. In the face of the urgent need to adapt to increasingly frequent climatic hazards, the aim of the environmental transition is to support our societies in their transition towards new economic and social models in order to better adapt to the world of tomorrow.
It is in this context that Stéphane Guillot, PhD in Earth Sciences, specialist in convergent zones, and currently Scientific Delegate for Environmental Transition and Risks at the CNRS, will not only coming to provide an overview of current knowledge on climate and natural hazards, but above all, to explain how teams of the scientific community have taken up these issues by actively participating in the environmental transition. This presentation will notably include the example of the CNRS, one of whose missions today is to commit to the environmental transition, and which is adapting its tools and working methods to do so.
Whether you're a member of the research community or simply concerned about these issues, you're warmly welcome to join us and be part of this conversation!
Stéphane Guillot is a geologist, specialist of convergence zones. His approach is deliberately multidisciplinary, working regularly with geochronologists, geochemists and geophysicists. During his career, Stéphane Guillot has held the positions of team leader, deputy director of UFR, deputy laboratory director, member of the CoCNRS national committee. In 2015 he took over the management of ISTerre laboratory. In 2020, he joined the management team of INSU-CNRS as Deputy Scientific Director in charge of Solid Earth. In 2024, he was appointed scientific delegate to the CNRS directorate for risk management and sustainable development.
The "Club Sciences " concept of the French Institute in Prague aims to promote science to a wide audience through activities that make science accessible to everyone (science cafés, workshops for young people and families, public lectures, etc.). The club will also serve as an opportunity to highlight the many research collaborations between France and the Czech Republic across a wide range of fields, and to showcase the work of young researchers.
