The Université Paris-Saclay Foundation’s mission is to support the development and promotion of Université Paris-Saclay, both in France and internationally, with the aim of addressing the societal and environmental challenges facing humanity. As part of the university’s public service mission in higher education, the Foundation fosters initiatives that advance knowledge, encourage innovation, and promote sustainable solutions for the common good.
Through its work, the Foundation enables the creation and growth of pioneering scientific and educational projects that respond to today’s most urgent issues — from climate change and sustainable development to improving public health and expanding access to education.
The Foundation supports the university’s scientific chairs and their strategic projects, which serve as hubs for cutting-edge research. These chairs address major contemporary challenges such as:
Advancing sustainable development and environmental stewardship
Promoting high-quality, inclusive education
Improving public health and quality of life
Research outcomes from these projects are made accessible to the general public, helping to share knowledge widely and foster informed public discourse.
