SAPS Seminars

Every year, Sciences Animales Paris-Saclay (SAPS) organizes a scientific seminar related to the multidisciplinary research conducted by its member units in the field of animal sciences.

The next SAPS scientific outreach seminar will take place on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at the INRAE IdF center in Jouy-en-Josas. The theme is “The Use of Artificial Intelligence Models for Analyses in Animal Sciences (IA4SA).”

Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are advancing rapidly in many fields, and animal sciences are no exception. To better understand these technologies and share user feedback, SAPS and the INRAE Center in Jouy-en-Josas are hosting a seminar bringing together data science specialists and users of AI applications.

Speakers will present concrete examples of AI applications in various fields, including the analysis of animal behavior and welfare, as part of an ethical approach aimed at improving animal housing, monitoring, and phenotyping.

This event, which qualifies as continuing education, will also help promote the 3Rs principles through tools that, among other things, enable more precise measurements of animal conditions. 

Finally, it will offer anyone interested in learning about these now-essential technologies the opportunity to engage with academics and industry professionals who have developed and implemented AI applications, and to benefit from their experience..

Preliminary programm:

Morning: Two general lectures by application developers

  • Development and Applications in Animal Sciences, Jocelyn de-Goer-de-Hervé (UMR EPIA, INRAE Clermont-Ferrand);
  • AI Tools for Image Analysis, Jean-Yves Thivenez (FBIAS, Institut Pasteur, Paris).

These introductory lectures will be followed by several practical presentations by users of AI applications implemented in their research on various animal species (bees, fish, mammals).
