This short article provides an overview of the creation of the Centre for Philosophy of Memory (CPM) at the Université Grenoble Alpes in 2018 and its development since then into a key node in the international philosophy of memory network. It describes the CPM’s strategy and activities and discusses the challenges that the centre has encountered and overcome. The goal of the article is twofold: first, simply to make a record of the history of the CPM available to philosophers of memory and to others to whom such a record might be of interest; second, to provide a resource for colleagues in other fields who have created or are contemplating creating similar centres.
