The 6^th edition of the Night of Ideas, an annual event on the free circulation of ideas and knowledge, coordinated by the Institut français, will be held on Thursday, 28 January 2021. Organised on the theme "Close(r)", the event will be reinforced in its digital dimension through the creation of 24 hours of Night and Ideas.

More than 200 Nights of Ideas are expected internationally, from India and Seoul to Beirut, from Sydney to Mexico City, and from Lomé to Toronto. Local voices will lead and explore the theme "Close(r)".

The 2021 edition will assume special significance in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme "Close(r)" was chosen with the idea of questioning the renewal of our individual and collective relationship to space, the new solidarities that the crisis of our economic and social models calls for, or

the role of digital technology in our societies, which shapes more than ever our relationship to the world. The theme "Close(r)" also invites us to question the evolution of our contemporary modes of sociality, and our relationship with others.

As the global public health crisis restricts international gatherings and the mobility of people, the Night of Ideas will offer everyone the opportunity to follow and take part in an unprecedented digital experience: 24 hours of Night and Ideas, which will cross time zones from the Pacific to the West Coast of United States, promote the free circulation of ideas and knowledge, and make local experiences resonate in a great global live broadcast on social networks.  Thus, for 24 hours, the next Night of Ideas

will be an opportunity to come "closer" than ever, to strengthen connections and break down boundaries, to interact with other audiences, and to celebrate thinking without barriers.
