The IRCAD celebrated its 20th birthday at the “Brasserie des Haras” with great fanfare and music on July 12, 2014. The party was a true success and unravelled on the theme of “One world, 3 IRCADs”.

Professor Jacques Marescaux welcomed 300 guests, political figures, Taiwanese and Brazilian counterparts, industrial partners, IRCAD international experts, and long-lasting faithful IRCAD supporters who have all been entertained to a festive evening. The cultures of 3 countries were represented during that evening, France, Taiwan, and Brazil: a fanfare for the welcome cocktail, unicorns from Taiwan, a Taiwanese singer accompanied by a string quartet, Brazilian percussion, Brazilian dancers and Capoeira artists, and to crown it all, a saxophone quintet and a rocker on piano.

A delegation of more than 25 Taiwan representatives including a minister, took part in the evening under the leadership of President Min-Ho Huang, Chairman of IRCAD Taiwan.

Henrique Prata, Chairman of IRCAD America Latina, had every reason to rejoice in celebrating 20 years of innovation and research for patient care with the IRCAD family.

The buffets prepared by chefs Marc Haeberlin and François Baur offered exquisite dishes from the 3 continents.
To end the evening in beauty, Jacques Marescaux symbolically cut the giant birthday cake along with IRCAD international and industrial partners, under the benevolent eye of the kitchen brigade of the “Brasserie des Haras”.

COVID19: IRCAD sanitary measures & health pass

Please note that the IRCAD administrative board and staff are closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation, in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in France. The health, safety, and well-being of our participants, experts and staff are our top priority!
Despite the current context, the IRCAD stands firmly by your side to help you acquire knowledge and skills. Come and join us !

We would like to draw your attention that the « Vaccine Pass » is now mandatory in France since end of January 2022 and replaces the former « Health Pass » to access places that are open to the public, such as cinemas, museums, cafés and restaurants, hotels as well as the IRCAD Institute which welcomes participants in the framework of its courses and seminars. Thus, a PCR test without vaccination is no longer sufficient to take part in our courses.

The vaccine pass includes a proof of the following (one of the 3 items is sufficient):

  • The vaccination certificate, proving that persons have a complete vaccination (as of January 15, 2022, all persons aged 18 and over must receive a booster dose no more than 7 months after their last injection or Covid infection to receive a valid vaccination pass. As of February 15, 2022, the time limits for keeping the pass will be reduced, you will have to do your booster dose 4 months and no longer 7 months after your 2nd dose to have a complete vaccine schedule and maintain a valid vaccine pass)
  • The result of a positive RT-PCR or antigenic test attesting to the recovery of Covid, more than 11 days and less than 4 months
  • The certificate of contraindication to vaccination

Further information about the new vaccine pass can be found at :

We very much hope to be able to count on your kind understanding of those rules which have been set by the French Government and which our Institute is required to apply
