The multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary
research, performed at the Faculty of Sciences, covers all
the disciplines (biology, chemistry, computing, mathematics, physics,
earth sciences, history of sciences and techniques). The faculty is involved in
the current and future scientific challenge, driving not only very high level
basic research, all over the world recognized, but also performing applied
research in narrow link with the value of the results. The faculty also
attempts to strengthen and to develop the interdisciplinary cooperation. The
convergence of the hard sciences and the life sciences is an example. The
technological platforms generate a real interdisciplinarity as well and allow
to make a strong link between the scientific discoveries and the technological
headways.
The potential of research in the faculty
is mainly constituted by Mixed Units of Research with the research centers as the CNRS, the INSERM, the INRA, the INRIA, the Curie
institute. Approximately 3000 permanent employees work in these
laboratories. More than 1700 PhD students are registered at the Faculty of
Science.
