The 6ᵗʰ annual FRESH conference (Nov. 4–5) and the 4ᵗʰ annual RESHAPE conference (Nov. 5–6) will be held in Montpellier, at the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme – Sud.

The conference program is available here and the abstracts there

The event will open with a plenary lecture by Pascal Boyer, invited by the FRESH network, on November 4.

A highlight of the 2025 edition will be a shared session (in English) on Wednesday afternoon, November 5, on the theme “Evolutionary Medicine & Public Health Challenges”. The plenary speaker will be Nicolàs Rascovan! This session aims to provide a fertile space for dialogue, highlighting the complementarities between the perspectives of FRESH and RESHAPE.

On November 6, RESHAPE will also host two additional thematic sessions (primarily in French, though presentations in English are welcome): Public Health and Inequalities and Global Change, Health & Societal Challenges.
