- CorteX is a group of teachers and researchers created in 2010, working on critical thinking and intellectual self-defence created. CorteX teaches these subjects at the university level, from bachelors to PhDs, in schools and in academic training in general. In 2016, the French Ministry of Education appointed the CorteX to coordinate the development of critical thinking in schools in the south-east of France. In 2017, CorteX founded an SFR — Federative Research Structure on Critical thinking in Grenoble.
