Created in 2011, the Complex Systems Chemistry research cluster (known as “Labex CSC”) received €15m in funding under the Investment for the Future Programme (PIA) launched by the French state and implemented by the National Research Agency (ANR). This support, over the period from 2011 to 2020, provided funding for the most ambitious projects in the field of complex systems chemistry. The Interdisciplinary Thematic Institute SysChem is the successor to Labex CSC, integrating the CSC Graduate School (established in 2018), with a budget of €21.2m up until 2028 (€12.4m for the research cluster and €8.8m for the CSC Graduate School).
