Human Sciences Institute (MSH) of Paris-Saclay

Research unit

Description

The MSH Paris-Saclay is a CNRS research unit positioned at the heart of the University Paris Saclay.

The MSH Paris-Saclay aims to extend this objective to developing interdisciplinarity between human and social sciences and other scientific disciplines. This broadening of its objectives is a strategic answer to two major challenges for future generations: the digital revolution and the ecological transition.

The research focuses of the MSH Paris-Saclay have been defined so as to harness research efforts of human and social scientists from the University Paris-Saclay in support of these issues. Thus, the MSH Paris-Saclay is structured around two main research topics along these two major transformations, and one transversal topic dealing with innovation.
