Erik Orsenna
The scientific committee
of the Normandy Impressionist Festival 2016
Chaired by Erik Orsenna (writer and academician), the Scientific Committee is composed of 27 members, all of whom are important figures in the regional and national cultural landscape.
What is a Scientific Committee?
The Scientific Committee defines the criteria eligibility of a project to the Festival based on the project’s theme, interest, relevance, originality, rootedness in the region, cohesion with the identity of Normandie Impressionniste, appeal and participative approach.
Four meetings of the Scientific Committee were held in 2014 and 2015 to select projects best complying with the objectives of the 2016 Festival. Many of those approved – and thus accepted in the Festival – were awarded financial and/or material assistance by the Normandie Impressionniste General Meeting.
