For the first time, Maisons-Alfort is participating in the national « Ambassador Cities » program of Pasteurdon 2026, thereby supporting the medical research of the Institut Pasteur.

As part of the 20th edition of Pasteurdon, Maisons-Alfort has joined the « Ambassador Cities » program, an initiative launched this year by the Institut Pasteur. The town is thus actively committing to medical research and lending its support to the Institute in this national donation appeal operation.
Through widespread promotion on billboards and all municipal communication channels, the City of Maisons-Alfort serves as a relay for the national campaign led by the Institut Pasteur. It joins a network of 20 cities mobilized across France, alongside major cities such as Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Le Havre, and Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.
Pasteurdon, now in its 20th anniversary edition, annually brings together millions of French citizens around the cause of supporting biomedical research at the Institut Pasteur. This edition highlights three major health challenges: the fight against cancers, responses to emerging infectious threats, and the understanding of neurological and neurodevelopmental diseases.
In October, the call is made to support research through a donation. For its 20th anniversary, Pasteurdon mobilizes an exceptional community of science advocates, including companies, foundations, and public figures. They are joining forces to enable research at the Institut Pasteur to advance and contribute to life-changing discoveries.
Everyone is invited to support the 1700 researchers at the Institut Pasteur in their efforts to address global health challenges.
