If you're a researcher, clinician, engineer, entrepreneur or industrial player, come and discover the research projects underway at Institut Polytechnique de Paris in the fields of life sciences and health, and discuss the major research and social issues relating to health.

Partners' Village, Poster Session, and Networking Platform: everything to spark new collaborations.

For the first time this year, a networking platform (connecting companies and students, companies and researchers, researchers and students), along with dedicated time slots and spaces, will be available to you.

You will also be able to visit our Partners' Village, featuring industrial companies, startups, and innovation support organizations.

As always, don't miss our Poster Session, showcasing the diversity of ongoing research projects in life sciences and healthcare within the schools of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.

The Forum is organized in partnership with Inria and the Saint-Joseph & Marie-Lannelongue Hospitals, founding members of the E4H Center, with the support of the École Polytechnique Foundation, the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, and the French National Research Agency (ANR)*.

Presentations will be in French, but simultaneous English translation will be available. For those who need it, parking spaces can be reserved by indicating your request during registration.
