This project is the result of a common interest in making a concrete impact on society. As academics, we believe that good research is critical to inform good practice. However, we feel that dominant standards embody a disconnection between theory and action. Our objective is to make scientific advice available for public entities, companies and the general public.
Fre.Le is based in Paris but works internationally on projects in Europe and South Africa
