Ainsi, elle n’a pas hésité à modifier ses contrats d’assurance ou encore à élargir son champ de recrutement à tous les métiers de l’éducation, de la recherche, de la culture et des loisirs. • A la Fondation… La Fondation MAIF, créée en 1989, scelle le professionnalisme et l’expérience de l’assureur en investissant, en amont, trois stades complémentaires de l’assurance : • d’une part, la prévention et la formation via des outils pratiques de communication (Livrets, guides pratiques, CD-ROM, Vidéos…) ; • d’autre part, la recherche scientifique qui analyse précisément les mécanismes de survenance des accidents, qu’ils soient d’origine humaine, technique ou matérielle http://www.fondation-maif.fr/fondation/notre-action/accueil.html
