Today, the Institut Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (IPGG) forms the core of a distinctive, interdisciplinary ecosystem within Université PSL, encompassing cutting-edge scientific research, technological development within the IPGG, training initiatives, innovation and a strong link with industry through Carnot IPGG. The scope of the IPGG will be extended to include new PSL establishments.

Building on its expertise in microfluidics, the IPGG intends to address key societal issues through the prism of microfluidic technologies, whether in terms of energy or ecological transitions, biology or health.  The research teams will focus on negative emission technologies for energy production, and on alternatives to animal testing to speed up the discovery of new drugs. Two cross-disciplinary approaches will also be promoted, namely flow chemistry and recycling/upcycling.
