The Institut International de la Marionnette (IIM) is to join forces with the Festival Mondial des Théâtres de Marionnettes to create, from January 2025, a reference centre for the puppetry arts.
Research will continue to be a key element of its project.

Through the programme of research residencies and documentary residencies proposed by its Documentation and Research Department, the Institut International de la Marionnette (IIM) wishes to encourage fundamental research on puppetry arts, to support the creative process of artists and to reinforce the links between the communities of research and those of creation.

Research residencies must last at least two weeks. Documentary residencies have no minimum duration.
They may not take place during periods when the Institute is closed (from 2 to 17 August inclusive and from 20 to 31 December, 2025, inclusive) or during September.
