With our foundations laid in 2024, here is the reConnect Institute’s second annual report. It reaffirms and summarizes our ambitions, our hopes, and our successes. It gives a voice to a scientific community united around a new integrated approach—“from the ear to the brain.” Through four key words, discover what unites us and what has driven a year of research.
Discoveries
Decoding thought to restore speech, robotic insertion of a perimodiolar cochlear implant, six awards and honors—including a silver medal from the CNRS—and new frontiers in research. This annual report provides insight into the impact of our scientific findings and highlights the achievements of our eleven research groups.
Innovations
How do these basic research findings become therapeutic solutions that benefit patients? Our 12-page feature article explores the strong innovative capacity of our university hospital system, whether in the form of medical devices, medications, technical tools, or innovative approaches to tinnitus management.
Partnerships
Research and therapeutic solutions are advancing, driven by strategic and effective partnerships. These essential connections run through all the topics covered in this annual report. Scientists, industry representatives, advocacy groups... all of our partners have their say here.
Patrons
Thomas Dutronc has generously lent us his fame and his voice. Beyond this endorsement, the Institute can now count on a community of committed supporters—foundations, companies, and individuals—whose support is essential to the development of our project. This philanthropic momentum is essential to giving us the means to accelerate research and raise our ambitions to meet the societal challenges associated with hearing and speech impairments, which, by 2050, will affect nearly 2.5 billion people worldwide.
