Guardianship

The Institut de la Vision research centre is under the supervision of three prestigious institutions - Sorbonne University, Inserm and the CNRS - which have been involved in its development since its conception and from which the majority of the Institute's researchers come:

Sorbonne university 

Committed to its public service mission, Sorbonne Universités aims to embody ambitious, innovative and democratic university education, and to be recognised as one of the world's leading research centres.

Inserm

Inserm, the only French public research organisation entirely dedicated to human health, was given responsibility in 2008 for the strategic, scientific and operational coordination of biomedical research. This central coordinating role is a natural consequence of the scientific quality of its teams, but also of its ability to carry out translational research, from the laboratory to the patient's bedside.

CNRS

As France's leading multidisciplinary research organisation, the CNRS conducts research in all areas of science, technology and society, including mathematics, physics, information and communication sciences and technologies, nuclear and high-energy physics, earth and universe sciences, chemistry, life sciences, human and social sciences, environmental sciences and engineering sciences.
