About Marc Roux

Marc Roux is co-founder and president of the French Transhumanist Association – Technoprog, the leading Francophone transhumanist organization. After secondary education in sciences, his doctoral studies in history led him to work on the concepts of identities and borders among the peoples of Europe. He then taught for ten years in secondary education and became actively involved in associative life and the trade union movement.

With Technoprog, he organized numerous conferences in Paris and online, including three at the University of Sorbonne. The most significant of these events, TransVision 2014, was the first international conference on transhumanism to be held in France. His writings regularly contribute to the deepening of transhumanist thought and the interpretation of a French techno-progressivism. In 2016, together with Didier Coeurnelle, he authored the book TECHNOPROG, transhumanism in the service of social progress (FYP editions). He has been regularly interviewed by the media on transhumanism and biopolitics.

He is currently a researcher affiliated with the IEET (Institute for Ethics & Emerging Technologies) and lives in Greece.
