events :
Following its international launch at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo in March 2026, the CSSC Network continues to expand with two major events that exemplify its mission: to make cultural diversity a strategic lever for innovation, impact, and sustainable performance for organizations.
These two events demonstrate the CSSC Network’s ambition to build bridges between research, businesses, public institutions, cultural actors, and civil society in order to promote greater consideration of cultural diversity in sustainability and transformation strategies.
The CSSC Network draws on over twenty years of research and reflection dedicated to the links between cultural diversity, sustainability, and organizational responsibility. Between 2023 and 2025, this research was consolidated within Université Paris Cité thanks to three public grants awarded in recognition of its innovative nature and potential impact.
CSSC at VivaTech 2026
On the morning of June 19, 2026, the CSSC Network will be present at the Université Paris Cité booth as part of VivaTech, one of Europe’s leading innovation events.
This presence will provide an opportunity to present to companies, institutions, researchers, and innovation stakeholders the approach used by the CSSC Network to make cultural diversity visible, measurable, and strategic.
We look forward to discussing the following topics with visitors:
- our methodology for assessing organizations’ commitment to cultural diversity;
- the integration of culture into CSR and innovation strategies;
ways to transform cultural diversity into a lever for impact and sustainable performance.

Pre-Forum of the Future: Culture, Sustainability, Innovation, and Social Impact
On June 25, 2026, the CSSC Network will participate in the Pre-Forum of the Future, an international gathering dedicated to the role of culture as a lever for social, environmental, and economic transformation.
Organized by the association Les Apprentis de l’Espérance Génération Culture, with the support of academic and institutional partners, the event will bring together researchers, artists, businesses, institutions, and initiative leaders to foster new collaborations around sustainable development, innovation, and intercultural dialogue.
The Pre-Forum also serves as a preparatory step toward the Forum of the Future 2026, which aims to highlight initiatives developed in support of sustainable human development, greater intercultural understanding, and a culture of peace.
Discussions will focus in particular on:
- the role of culture in corporate sustainability strategies;
- innovation and new technologies in the service of inclusion and education;
- sustainable tourism and the promotion of natural and cultural heritage;
- art and creativity as drivers of social transformation;
- intercultural dialogue and international cooperation;
- partnerships between France and Brazil in support of sustainable development.
In this context, the co-founders of the CSSC Network will present the CSSC assessment as well as the IDC Label (Inclusion and Diversity through Culture), designed to help organizations structure, evaluate, and promote their commitment to cultural diversity.
