<p style="text-align: justify;">The CGenial Foundation, state-approved, was created in 2006 by six big companies: Areva, the EADS Foundation, France Telecom-Orange, Schlumberger, SNCF and Technip.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are administrated by a Board made up of representative Founders and qualified well-known figures. We consult a Scientific Board, constituted of research, innovation, humanities and social science representatives, on big scientific orientations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Resulting in the disengagement of young adults in the scientific and technical courses, these companies work together to raise awareness about sciences and the jobs associated. We work to revive the relations between youth (especially girls), science, technological innovations and research.</p>
<h2>Goals</h2>
<p>Our goals are numerous and complementary:</p>
<ul>
<li style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><span class="highlighted"><strong>Promote diversity in scientific jobs</strong></span>, we stimulate scientific vocations, for girls as for boys.</li>
<li style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;">We develop <strong><span class="highlighted">exchanges</span></strong> between the <span class="highlighted"><strong>scientific world</strong></span> and the <span class="highlighted"><strong>world of business</strong></span>.</li>
