The Fondation Razi is an endowment fund based in Paris - ”Fond de Dotation Razi” -; a regulated non-profit organization, similar to entities exempt from tax under section 501 (c) (3) of the US IRS Code. The Fondation Razi brings together unique backgrounds - some of them former students of the mythical Razi High School in Tehran -, original points of view and a nice diversity of academic backgrounds, professional experiences, opinions and cultural roots. The objective of the Fondation Razi is to create unique opportunities between the French and Iranian societies, with a strong European flavor, to support and develop innovation networks, to connect intercultural communities of institutions, researchers, scientists and academics from all scientific, cultural or social backgrounds, to forge new relationships, collaborate and share expertise across cultural borders to fuel innovation and growth: to drive change. In this spirit, the Fondation Razi does not and will not support any form of political, ideological or religious commitment, activism, proselytism or similar activities.
