TRENDS Research Center Debuts Pavilion At Paris International Book Fair 2024
The TRENDS Research and Advisory Center recently made a significant appearance at the Paris International Book Fair 2024, marking a notable presence with its pavilion in the Grand Palais Éphémère. This event, a cornerstone for publishers and cultural enthusiasts worldwide, saw the participation of key figures such as the French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati and Canadian Minister of Culture Mathieu Lacombre, the latter being celebrated as the exhibition's guest of distinction. Their visit to the TRENDS pavilion underscored the organization's commitment to fostering scientific research and building global trust.
At the heart of TRENDS' showcase were a plethora of research publications, spanning original works, translations, and scholarly series in multiple languages.

The pavilion attracted attention from over 3,000 publishers and attendees from more than 100 countries, highlighting TRENDS' impact on the global stage.
A dialogue session with master's students from the University of Paris Serge further emphasized the importance of think tanks and scientific research. This interaction provided insights into how such institutions contribute to knowledge enhancement and future shaping. The quality and vision of TRENDS' publications received commendations from visitors, reflecting the center's global perspective.
Additionally, TRENDS researchers engaged in meaningful discussions at the exhibition's planning meeting and visited the pavilion of the Romanian Cultural Institute to explore potential collaboration and research partnerships. The fair will also see TRENDS launching a French-language book, unveiling the "Muslim Brotherhood's Global Influence Index", hosting a dialogue session on media and culture, and holding a global symposium on European-Gulf relations.
