Université Paris-Saclay is a part of this institute through its Signaling, radiobiology and cancer laboratory (SRC - Univ. Paris-Saclay/CNRS/French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm)/Institut Curie), its Chemistry and Modelling for Biology of Cancer laboratory (CMBC - Univ. Paris-Saclay/CNRS/Inserm/Institut Curie) and its Genotoxic stress and cancer laboratory (Stress génotoxique et cancer (GIRC) - Univ. Paris-Saclay/CNRS/Institut Curie).
  • Eau et environnement brings together eleven research units as well as the Institut de la filtration et des techniques séparatives (IFTS). These components are organised to meet the research and innovation needs of socio-economic partners for sustainable water management, thanks to extensive expertise in earth and environmental sciences and technologies. Université Paris-Saclay is part of this institute through its Continental Hydrosystems - Resources, Risk, Restoration (Hycar - Univ. Paris-Saclay/INRAE).
  • France Futur Elevage is a network of academic research laboratories and agricultural technical institutes dedicated to fostering R&D collaboration and innovation transfer within the livestock industry. It coordinates and offers high value-added, multidisciplinary research and innovation to businesses, professional organisations and players in the livestock sector. Université Paris-Saclay is part of this institute through its Animal Genetics and Integrative Biology Laboratory (GABI - Univ. Paris-Saclay/AgroParisTech/INRAE).
  • Inria strategic ambition is to accelerate the development of France's scientific, technological and industrial leadership in and through digital technologies, as part of a European dynamic. It is based on the coherence and synergies between the Institute's national and regional policies, by fully committing it to the development of world-class research universities such as Université Paris-Saclay, at the heart of entrepreneurial and industrial ecosystems energised by digital technology. Université Paris-Saclay is involved through the project-teams of the Inria Saclay research centre - Île-de-France.
  • Opale is the healthcare industry's preferred partner for the research and development of innovative solutions aimed at diagnosing, treating and monitoring patients suffering from leukaemia and related diseases, collectively the deadliest form of blood cancer and the leading type of cancer in children. The institute offers manufacturers easy, fast and efficient access to specialised expertise and resources that cannot be matched worldwide, to accelerate innovation along the entire R&D value chain. Université Paris-Saclay is a part of the institute through its Genetic Stability, Stem Cells and Radiation laboratory (SGCSR - Univ. Paris-Saclay/Inserm/French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)/Université Paris-Cité) and its Immunity and Transmission laboratory (IMVA-HB - Univ. Paris-Saclay/Inserm/CEA).
  • Plant2Pro offers integrated, multi-disciplinary R&D "from the laboratory to the field" in support of the agroecological transition and the competitiveness of agricultural plant production. It brings together academic research laboratories and agricultural technical institutes to support businesses and stimulate innovation and transfer in the fields of varietal innovation, crop health, the design of multi-performance cropping systems and digital and agri-equipment technologies.

Cosmetic 360

Located in the "research" zone, bringing together academic players serving the fragrance and cosmetics industry, Université Paris-Saclay will be presenting its cutting-edge research and expertise in this field on its stand DB18 at the international innovation trade show for the fragrance and cosmetics industry, on 16 and 17 October in Paris. The university's participation in these two events testifies to its strong integration in today's socio-economic fabric and the international impact of its research and innovation in a wide range of sectors., on 16 and 17 October at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris.

With 220 laboratories, including 60 linked to the fragrance and cosmetics industry, and over 500 experimental platforms, including 20 linked to the fragrance and cosmetics industry in six areas (cosmetics, pharmaceutical research, chemical industry, packaging, product management, dermatology), Université Paris-Saclay is helping to strengthen this sector.

This international trade show, specialising in cosmetics and fragrances and launched in 2015 by the COSMETIC VALLEY competitiveness cluster, aims to bring together decision-makers around the latest technological advances, emerging trends and innovations across the entire industry.

Each year, a particular theme is chosen as the common thread for the conferences, the animation zones, the competition and a specific approach. This year, the focus is on longevity and durability. The notion of longevity-durability in cosmetics refers to all innovations that contribute to slowing down or “reversing” the effects of ageing on our skin, to extending the lifespan of products, equipment, packaging… to reduce the impact of our industry on humans and the environment.
