Centre de recherche en Paléontologie, Paris (CR2P)

PARIS

CR2P is a laboratory entirely dedicated to paleontology. Its objective is to elucidate the structure of kinship relationships and the history of life through the fossil record and past environments. From the most primitive life forms of the Precambrian to hominids, the expertise of CR2P's members covers a wide spectrum of animal and plant fossil groups from the infinitesimally small to the giant vertebrates.

In 2019, the CNRS launched a partnership with the ACFAS to organise the French edition of La Preuve par l’Image, an annual photo competition first held in Quebec in 2010. For this fourth CNRS edition, researchers were again invited to submit their best scientific images. The competition challenges participants to showcase their research by means of eye-catching, thought-provoking images rather than words.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
