PSL Valorisation

Available to all PSL research teams, PSL-Valorisation is a technology transfer department working actively to enhance the culture of innovation within PSL member institutions, based on guiding principles of proximity, responsiveness, and risk sharing.

• By detecting and protecting intellectual property, supporting researchers throughout the full process.
• Through framework agreements with institutions allowing for transfer of intellectual property rights to PSL and the filing of patents by PSL on behalf of the relevant institutions.
• By funding and supporting projects through proof-of-concept, helping to validate their technical and economical feasibility.
• By supporting the creation of innovative companies.

The following list, which is not exhaustive, illustrates the diversity of PSL’s ecosystem: Valorisation departments and/or subsidiary technology transfer teams within research organizations (DIRE and SPV at CNRS, STPI at INRIA, DPRE at Inserm, FIST, Inserm Transfert); the recently created PC’Up incubator at ESPCI/Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Institute. Multiple industrial chairs, including at MINES Paris -PSL, ENS – PSL, École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris – PSL, Paris Dauphine – PSL, Institut Louis Bachelier and EHESS; partnerships between Institut Curie and the pharmaceutical industry; the Instituts/Tremplins Carnot (Carnot Curie Cancer, Carnot INRIA, Carnot M.I.N.E.S., Carnot Pasteur MS, Tremplin Carnot IPGG Microfluidics, Tremplin Carnot Cognition); and CIFRE PhD Fellowships, notably in humanities and social science (EPHE, EHESS).
