AXA announces that it has renewed the mandate of the AXA Research Fund, its scientific philanthropy initiative, for a further five years, and has also appointed Debra Roberts as Chair of the Fund's Scientific Advisory Board, succeeding Thomas Kirkwood.

Its objectives will be to strengthen transdisciplinary exploration of emerging risks, consolidate links between academic experts, industry and the public sector on major societal issues, and launch innovative formats for disseminating knowledge.

With a cumulative budget of 250 million euros since its creation in 2007, the Fund has forged partnerships with over 334 academic institutions in 38 countries, and supported 708 projects led by researchers of 60 nationalities, 42% of whom were women.
