Centre Marc Bloch

A Franco-German Centre for Social Science Research

Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, the French and German governments jointly decided to establish a Franco-German research centre for social sciences encapsulating Europe in its entirety. Founded on 9 October 1992, the CMB was placed, as of its inauguration on 8 September 1994, under the patronage of the medievalist historian Marc Bloch (1886-1944).
