Chaire de Cosmétologie AgroParisTech Orléans

AgroParisTech is the institute for the life sciences and industries, and environmental sciences, under the supervision of the ministries responsible for agriculture and higher education. This leading institution, recognized internationally, addresses the major challenges of the 21st century: feeding people while sustainably managing territories, preserving natural resources, promoting innovation, and integrating the bioeconomy. In September 2022, AgroParisTech opened a branch on the Orléans La Source campus, with two main objectives: i) to establish training programs in close collaboration with companies in the cosmetics sector, particularly those based in the Orléans area, and ii) to support these programs with the establishment of a local research team that strengthens and complements the dynamic of the ARD Cosmétosciences program. To this end, the creation of a Chair and the launch of a specialization in cosmetology at the end of studies within the Engineering program were decided.
