Created in 1988, the Société des Neurosciences is a non-profit scientific association (under the 1901 law).

Created in 2017 (under the 1901 law), the Nez en Herbe association aims to integrate olfactory awareness into educational programmes .

The members of this association are professionals and experts such as perfumers, researchers, artists or even philosophers.
Founded in 2010, the Eveil’O’Goût association aims to help adults and children rediscover the act of eating as a social moment of pleasure and conviviality. Through a sensory-based approach to food education, it supports children through taste workshops and adults through training courses (parents, health, education, school catering, entertainment and food professionals). Eveil’O’goût is based on the use of the five senses in tasting. Everyone can benefit from their own sensory abilities. Each individual becomes more attuned to his or her own senses, sharing them with others, while respecting individual and cultural differences.

The association La Semaine du Son was founded by Christian Hugonnet, an acoustics engineer, with the aim of introducing the public, elected representatives and all players in society to a better understanding of sound and the importance of the quality of the sound environment, which must not only be preserved but in many cases restored. Since 2004, it has organized an annual week of events in January, focusing on sound-related issues from a cross-disciplinary perspective: cultural, medical, industrial, educational and economic.
In 2006, this unique event was awarded a Décibel d’Or by the Conseil National du Bruit, a consultative body under the patronage of the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development.
