The LABEX Arts-H2H involves both artistic research (Cinema, Art, Music, Theatre, Dance,

Condorcet), some grandes écoles of Art (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs,
Conservatoire National Supérieur d’Art Dramatique, Centre National de Danse
Contemporaine, Ecole Nationale Supérieure Louis-Lumière) and world-class institutions of
art, culture and science (Centre Georges Pompidou, Bibliothèque nationale de France,
Archives nationales, Réunion des Musées Nationaux – Grand Palais, Centre Georges
Pompidou-Metz, Centre National des Ecritures du Spectacle de la Chartreuse in Villeneuve
lez-Avignon).
By exploring the new connections between Art and Techniques, science and reality, physical

world in its most creative and innovative forms.
