Non-profit education and research center

The Paris Institute for Critical Thinking (PICT) is a non-profit education and research center based in Paris, France. Established in 2018, PICT focuses on the humanities and arts, offering a range of academic activities such as courses, workshops, conferences, and public lectures. The institute operates mostly in English and is dedicated to providing high-quality education accessible to the public regardless of their educational background. PICT also engages in public outreach via online journals and articles that are available in open-access format.

In 2022, the PICT website published a 25-page essay by co-founders David Selim Sayers and Evrim Emer-Sayers about the field of Turkish studies in Germany, which triggered intense controversy in the national media in Turkey. In 2023, PICT participated in the successful campaign by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) to secure the release of Franco-Afghan journalist Mortaza Behboudi from prison in Afghanistan.

The organization's co-founders include executive director Evrim Emer-Sayers, managing director Macha Matalaev, and editor-at-large David Selim Sayers.
