Leader in life sciences and agronomy, AgroParisTech is one of the foremost and most prestigious Grandes Écoles. AgroParisTech is one of the founding members of the Université Paris-Saclay, which will be the largest European multidisciplinary campus.
LNE is the French National French National Reference Laboratory for Measurements and Testing.
Toy safety, atmospheric pollution, food contamination, or nanoparticles in our food supply… every year, a number of headlines command media attention and, in doing so, alert the general public to a range of societal topics. Their commonality? It's always about measurements. This heading, "We talk about it", will unpack many such media-driven topics in providing you with explanations, documents and analyses in order to better understand the key issues involved by way of reports specially prepared by LNE's teams of experts.
Michigan State University (Michigan State or MSU) is a public land-grant research university in East Lansing, Michigan. It was founded in 1855 as the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, the first of its kind in the United States. MSU is a well-renowned University, that pioneered the studies of packaging with its leading institution the School of Packaging, the first high-education institution devoted to Food Packaging worldwide.
The Université Paris-Saclay is ranked as the world's leading university in mathematics. It is listed among the top 50 of the world's best universities in 10 disciplines and the top 100 in 17 additional disciplines.
SafeMat: Steering the Future of Food Packaging Safety
The Joint Technological Unit SafeMat 22.07 acts as the National Reference Laboratory for Food Contact Materials (FCM), focusing on preparing for and facilitating the evolution of EU regulations on food contact materials.
Positioned at the intersection of engineering and consumer needs, we aim to guide the transition from a linear to a circular economy where materials are increasingly recycled, reused, and repurposed.
Our work encompasses:
- Risk analysis from molecular levels to distribution, collection, and recycling systems.
- Development of rapid, in-situ methods for characterizing and analyzing substance transfer risks.
- Incorporation of these approaches in prototyping articles and shaping processes.
We benefit from the vibrant ecosystem of the University Paris-Saclay's "Agro" pole and are closely integrated with the UMR 0782 SayFood Paris-Saclay Food and Bioproduct team.
SayFood: Your Research Hub for Food & Bioproducts
Born from the UMR GENIAL and GMPA merger, SayFood is allied with INRAE, AgroParisTech, and Université Paris-Saclay. We aim to explore transformative processes in food and bioproducts from scientific to systemic perspectives.
We're situated at the Agro Paris-Saclay campus in Palaiseau with 180+ members, including multidisciplinary researchers and support staff.
We're an accredited lab under Carnot Qualiment and maintain collaborations for packaging safety through UMT SafeMat with the National Laboratory of Metrology and Testing (LNE).
