LEPAC was founded by Jean-Christophe Victor and Virginie Raisson in 1992, as a private, independent think tank based in France and specialised in international geopolitical analysis and foresight studies. The acronym LEPAC stands for "Laboratoire d'Etudes Prospectives et d'Analyses Cartographiques", translated in English as "Foresight Studies and Cartographic Analysis Laboratory".
LEPAC was created to develop geopolitical and cartographic analysis in France and, from the onset, has produced all the studies in support of a geopolitical educational television program broadcast by Franco-German channel Arte. Since its creation in 1992, the centre has expanded the scope of its activities and the research conducted today addresses divers topics and areas of interest for the future of mankind. In 2009 Virginie Raisson became head of the LEPAC, and today both co-founders serve as scientific directors.
