Colloquium: From the Monnet Plan to the High Commission for Strategy and Planning – From Modernization to Transition, 80 Years of French Planning (1946–2026)

This event will take place in French.

The description and program have been translated from French:

In 1946, General de Gaulle established the General Commission for Planning and appointed Jean Monnet as its head. Monnet spearheaded the “Monnet Plan,” an innovative initiative to coordinate and drive the country’s reconstruction effort, combined with a major drive toward modernization. Eighty years later, the context has changed radically, but the need for planning has returned to the forefront, in the areas of the environment, the military, industry, and demography.
