F93 is a cultural centre. Its self-styled mission is to build bridges between the general public, the sciences and technical and industrial innovations. Through original projects where things happen midway, in a successful transmission, F93 aims to show just how many links there are between the world of research and our society.Since its inception in 1982, F93 has been a partner of the General Council of Seine-Saint-Denis. It is supported by the Ministry of Education and Research and the Regional Council of the Ile de France. F93 is currently directed by Marc Boissonnade and chaired by Daniel Véron, head of the art and cultural education unit at the Ministry of Culture and Communication. For the whole of its activities, F93 has received the "Science and Culture, Innovation" label awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. F93 is a member of the national Association of Museums and Centres for the Development of Scientific, Technical and Industrial Culture (AMCSTI), the European Network of Science Centres and Museums (ECSITE) and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).
