Disclaimer related to service

This service does not include travel costs to or from Paris-Saclay, nor any accommodation support. This service includes a “terms & conditions” document which will be disclosed to the beneficiary, upon admission. The dates for the provision of the service must be agreed with the EPA Paris-Saclay. The agreed-upon meetings are exploratory in nature, so the results that may arise are independent of the work carried out by the EPA Paris-Saclay and the SATT Paris-Saclay. Depending on the period of provision of the service, the beneficiary could be invited to participate in events organized by the EPA Paris-Saclay and its ecosystem. The workspace provided by the EPA Paris-Saclay in the building “Playground Paris-Saclay” will be presented during the first meeting with the beneficiary, and it is only available for the time of the provision of the service (2 weeks maximum).
