Research & Job integration

The Foundation is committed to the society. Leveraging on the Air Liquide group’s strengths - expertise/ regional presence - it acts for the advancement of science so that everyone can breathe better. It also contributes to the development of communities through local initiatives and its work on professional integration in technical fields.
It is a corporate foundation, as defined by French law, which means that it is funded by Air Liquide, it’s “sponsor” and it can offer its partners both financing and expertise, in many places around the world. By law, it can support Research in the European Union, while it may work on community projects both in the EU and in developing countries.

RESEARCH

The Foundation supports scientific partners in the EU who pursue basic respiratory research, i.e. furthering knowledge of the mechanisms underlying chronic or rare respiratory diseases so as to find cures.

It also supports some environmental research related to air quality, i.e. in the field of atmospheric chemistry.

Job integration

JOB INTEGRATION

The Foundation works primarily with private partners, both in the EU and in emerging countries, who develop innovative job-skilling schemes in the technical area. “Technical” here means skills that are and will be in demand in the industrial world.

Additionally, we enable employees of Air Liquide in the same geographies (EU & “emerging” countries) to support “micro-initiatives” in their communities, in a variety of fields: education, healthcare, and supporting people with a disability.
