Place science at the heart of our society and demonstrate the critical role that science has to play in tackling the major challenges of the 21st century; these are the objectives of the first edition of the Paris-Saclay Summit which will take place from 29 February to 1 March at EDF Lab Paris-Saclay (7 boulevard Gaspard Monge à Palaiseau).

Under the high patronage of the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, the summit, which is being organised by the Paris-Saclay conurbation authority, Le Point, the Île-de-France region, and supported by the Essonne department, in partnership with Université Paris-Saclay, will bring together scientists, inventors, citizens, politicians, students and entrepreneurs. Approximately fifty conferences and meetings will give centre stage to leading scientists, including experts from Université Paris-Saclay.

The event will draw on Paris-Saclay’s scientific and technological reputation to promote the excellence and international acclaim of public and private research in France.
