Ariane Plaisance, PhD
Researcher, speaker and community health consultant
Since 2017, I have been developing collaborations with French researchers, universities, organizations and institutions in the fields of end of life, palliative care, ethics and assisted dying.
My work has been presented at scientific congresses, public conferences, in the media and within French academic institutions.
Building on these scientific and professional collaborations, I wish to continue developing Franco-Quebec projects in research, strategic support, and knowledge transfer. I am available for mandates, collaborations, and interventions throughout France.

Qualitative research
Knowledge assessment and transfer
Conferences and strategic support
I design and conduct rigorous qualitative research to better understand human realities, community needs, and complex issues. My work informs decision-making and supports the development of appropriate solutions.
I evaluate programs, projects, and social innovations to measure their impact and develop concrete recommendations. I transform research findings into tools, training programs, and strategies that are useful for organizations and communities.
I support organizations, institutions, and communities through conferences, training, and consulting services based on the best scientific evidence. My goal is to make knowledge accessible, relevant, and directly applicable to practice.
