The Louis Bachelier Fellows community brings together researchers and practitioners. Coming from the academic world or the business world, the Fellows are personalities recognized for their activities or for their interest in research in connection with one or other of the Institute's themes (since 2012: banking transitions, societal transitions, societal transitions, environmental transitions, digital transitions).

The Louis Bachelier Fellows are:

1. A community of exchange and mutual support between peers allowing Fellows to develop at the various stages of their careers, whether they are researchers or practitioners;
2. A way to open up research and disseminate its results to actors in society (general public, media, public and private decision-makers at the national and international levels);
3. A place for debate and foresight aimed at bringing out and identifying new topics and fields of research.

The Louis Bachelier Fellows promote transversality, multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity in their research themes and methods.

Each year, Fellows are invited to identify themes and research topics around which they gather at the frequency, at the time and in the places that seem most realistic and appropriate. These gatherings, which are organized by the Fellows, may take different formats depending on the initiatives.
To organize these events, Fellows benefit from the help of the ILB, which provides them with its teams, publication formats, means of communication and infrastructures.

Each year, the ILB organizes an assembly and a public event which is an opportunity to:

1. To share the results;
2. To identify new themes, new subjects or fields of research to relaunch a new cycle of work;
3. On this occasion, prizes may be awarded to laureates selected by the Fellows.

In addition, the ILB will regularly organize corporate meetings sponsored by a Professional Fellow.

Reciprocally, events and programs supported by the ILB must have at least 3 fellows on their bodies (steering, coordination, scientific committee, etc.).

The selection is made by co-option.

Proposals
Every two years, each Fellow is invited to propose the names of researchers/scientists or professionals directly related to ILB themes and whose contributions in terms of research or interactions between the academic and professional worlds are considered significant and able to contribute both to the influence of the ILB and to the dynamics of its community of fellows.

Proposals are made on the basis of a complete CV and a description in a maximum of 150 words of the main achievements related to the interests of the ILB.
Each fellow is invited, when drawing up their list of proposals, to consider proposing the names of young researchers and to keep in mind the objective of gender balance, to which the ILB is particularly committed.

Elections
‍Fellows are then invited to vote to select those who, among the proposed names, will join the fellowship community.

The ILB invites Fellows to vote for people whose contributions are considered significant and who are able to contribute both to the influence of the ILB, to the dynamics of its community of fellows and to the scientific activities of the Louis Bachelier network.

To be elected, a Fellow candidate must receive at least 25% of the votes cast.
Appointed for a term of four years, Fellows may be renewed at their request by justifying the continuation of their activities in connection with the fellowship community.

The list of Fellows is available on the ILB website: https://www.institutlouisbachelier.org/
network/louis-bachelier-fellows/

Fellows are a community of researchers and practitioners that allow the ILB to embody itself. The actions of the Fellows are expected to contribute to the influence and development of the ILB.

Fellows are asked to:

1. Participate in the annual procedure for the nomination of new Fellows;
2. Vote for the best young researcher at the ILB;
3. Participate as much as possible in events organized by the ILB on the themes and topics of interest specific to each of the Fellows.

Fellows are also expected to:

1. Display their status as Louis Bachelier Fellows in their CV and, as far as possible, their publications;
2. Contribute to the identification of new themes and new research topics likely to structure meetings and discussions between Fellows;
3. Contribute to and participate in conferences organized by the ILB or by its chairs;
4. Contribute to the creation or become the holders of a new chair.

The Scientific Board maintains the calendar of actions and ensures that the nomination procedure is respected. He can ensure the representativeness of Fellows by suggesting ways to strengthen them.
