Dr. François Taddei

François Taddei, President of the Learning Planet Institute (LPI), has dedicated his career to revolutionizing education through innovation and collaboration. He co-founded the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CRI) in 2006 with the aim of training scientists at the nexus of life sciences, learning, and digital technologies. The evolution of CRI into LPI in 2021 underscores Taddei’s commitment to transforming education.

He advocates for large-scale collaboration to build a learning planet, supported by UNESCO and the United Nations University. Through initiatives like the Institute of Challenges, Taddei prototypes a model of the learning university to address global challenges.

Beyond academia, Taddei champions innovation in education through programs such as the Frontières du Vivant degree and the Paris-Montagne Science Festival. His advocacy extends to international organizations, as reflected in reports for UNESCO, the OECD, and the EU.
