LGBT+

Université Paris-Saclay reaffirms its strong commitment to inclusion and equality. Attentive to guaranteeing a respectful, supportive and inclusive environment for all, Université Paris-Saclay became a signatory in 2025 to the Autre Cercle Charter, a national reference in the promotion of the rights and visibility of LGBT+ people within academic and professional contexts.

As part of this commitment, Université Paris-Saclay has drawn up an LGBT+ Action Plan, structured around six main areas:

       • Institutional commitment,

       • Support and guidance,

       • Awareness-raising and training,

       • Events and partnerships,

       • Research and knowledge production,

       • Infrastructure and living environment.

This plan is intended to prevent and address situations of discrimination, while fostering an inclusive study and work environment. Actions are undertaken for staff, students and associations to strengthen awareness of LGBT+ issues and the fight against LGBT+ discrimination.

The university has created an online form for transgender students who wish to change their first name. Awareness-raising webinars, workshops and weeks related to this issue take place regularly throughout the year.
