ESPCI Paris-PSL is pleased to invite you to the first edition of the “Shape the Future of Science and Society” event, which will focus on “The Future of Materials.” This meeting is particularly aimed at researchers and industrial players involved in the field of materials.
Convinced that today’s major challenges can be met at the crossroads of science and industry, ESPCI intends to make Shape the Future for Science and Society a concrete bridge between materials science research and industry players. This event is an invitation to discover the work of our laboratories, talk with our teams, and identify avenues for collaboration that will lead to innovation.
The ambition is twofold. For industry, it is a rare opportunity to learn about what is being done at the forefront of research, to find out about the progress of their work in different fields, to identify obstacles to its implementation, and to identify opportunities for collaboration. For the School, it is an opportunity to compare its progress with expectations in the field, adjust its focus, and forge lasting partnerships with the business world.
Shape the Future aims to be a catalyst event, featuring short, impactful presentations, a startup village and booths showcasing doctoral students’ work, targeted meetings, themed round tables, and networking opportunities. Each participant is invited not only to observe, but also to co-create: working with our researchers to identify technological barriers, shape the industrial challenges to be addressed together, and devise concrete roadmaps.
By participating in Shape the Future, manufacturers can anticipate technological breakthroughs, acquire emerging knowledge, and engage in structural collaborations today. It is a window onto the innovations of tomorrow, shaped at the crossroads of knowledge and application, and ESPCI is determined to make it a moment where new collaborations will be born.
