Celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the “Disability, Employment, and Occupational Health” Chair:
In honor of the 2nd Anniversary of the Chair of Training and Research “Disability, Employment, and Occupational Health,” the Better World Fund is co-organizing a Gala with the Chair at the Hôtel de Poulpry, Maison des Polytechniciens, on Thursday, December 14, 2023.
This inaugural Parisian edition aims to support the cause of Disability by honoring the work of the Chair led by Karine Gros, Associate Professor Accredited to Supervise Research at the University Paris-Créteil (UPEC), and Knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honor.
The evening will feature a Trophy presentation ceremony honoring three individuals for their impactful contributions to the field of Disability and the screening of the animated film “Dear Mother,” produced by Better World Production and supported by Thales, SAP, Public Finances, the Embassy of France, and the French Institute in the United Arab Emirates. Sponsored by Karine Gros and author/comedian Adda Abdali, “Dear Mother” is inspired by the true story of an Emirati child with Down syndrome who became a Paralympic swimming champion. Following the dinner, a raffle will be organized to support initiatives and awareness events for Disability in 2024 and organizations working towards the health and inclusivity of society.
“Health, Wealth, and Hospitality” – A message of longevity and prevention in partnership with Maison Villeroy and NADclinic:

Launching the Better World Business Club:
With a history of over a decade of concrete philanthropic actions related to major humanitarian, climate, and environmental challenges, the Better World Fund is now actively working to raise awareness through cinema and culture. This gala will mark a new direction for the endowment fund with the launch of the Better World Business Club—a community of business leaders committed to a better world, bringing together individuals from diverse industries to create new forms of solidarity and positive impact.
By joining this community, members have the opportunity to meet inspiring personalities, share experiences and best practices, expand their network through an exclusive database, and participate in business club tables at international events. The Better World Business Club is a dynamic, innovative, and inspiring community of business leaders sharing a common ambition to work together for a better world. Our members are among those who mobilize to create new forms of solidarity, demonstrating humanism and creativity. These men and women aspire to have a positive impact on our planet, the one we will leave to our children, and our common future.
