More information

With 300 million French speakers in the world, and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF)’s 88 member states and governments, Francophonie is a multifaceted reality: linguistic, geographical, spiritual, mystical, institutional, political and international. The French language is no longer exclusive to France, it has become one of the most widely learned and spoken languages in the world, particularly on the African continent. The institutional structure supporting Francophonie has just celebrated its half-century of existence. It has been working for decades for active solidarity and cultural diversity in the French-speaking world. Speaking and living in French are now part of a great and forward-looking movement towards solidarity.

Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University committed early on to promoting Francophonie as one of the key priorities of its international development. This is demonstrated by its numerous cooperative ventures with partners in the French-speaking world and the French language training programmes offered to foreign students. In 2001, it supported the project to create IFRAMOND (the Institute for the Study of the French-speaking World and Globalisation), which became the International Institute for Francophone Studies (2IF) with the support of the Rh?ne-Alpes Region. It is the only university institute dedicated to training and research on Francophonie in the world.
