Alongside the events organised throughout the year by Convergences, the association offers editorial and research content on topics as diverse as impact finance, social entrepreneurship and sustainable solutions. The main publications of Convergences are the Barometers, developed jointly by our Working Groups.
Each publication is co-authored with contributors and partners and helps to position Convergences within its ecosystem. The subjects covered are taken up in the association’s other activities, in particular in the Working Groups and the Convergences World Forum.
