‘The Design Spot’ – Université Paris-Saclay’s Design Center – is taking shape

Design, a multidisciplinary discipline, combines creativity and sensitivity with technology and economics to improve our quality of life with better products, experiences or services. Design appeals to our emotions, intuitiveness and senses to spark an instant attachment to a product or a service. As such, design has become a crucial factor of competitiveness in a number of sectors.

The Université Paris-Saclay ecosystem is home to thousands of researchers, engineers and inventors who are designing our future. The Design Spot aims to support them as they develop their innovative projects and thereby meet the expectations of tomorrow’s society.

Three main roles

  • Resources
The Design Center will provide laboratories, researchers and engineers with the necessary resources to connect research projects with functions and markets through design.
  • Research
The Design Center will also have an introspective mission, facilitating research on the discipline itself.
  • Support

The Design Center will help students become more familiar with the discipline and encourage them to integrate design into their projects.

Meet Vincent Créance, recently appointed project manager for the Université Paris-Saclay Design Center.
