Opening of the exhibition ‘13 November 2015: What does science tell us about the attacks?’
What can research do in the face of such devastating social events as terrorist attacks, which leave their mark on individual memories, subjective experiences and bodies, as well as on collective decisions, public policy and acts of care? At the crossroads between fundamental research and the urgent need to be of practical use, the 13 November Programme has set itself the aim of studying the construction and evolution of memory following the attacks of 13 November 2015. Over the course of twelve years, it aims to collect thousands of testimonies for heritage and scientific purposes, thereby contributing to a better understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder and improving the care provided to civilians and frontline professionals.
Led by the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, the CNRS and Inserm, this programme transcends disciplinary boundaries. It also demonstrates the extent to which academic research draws on the knowledge and contributions of civil society actors, whilst in turn enriching them.
