The ICP is committed to disseminating knowledge and promoting scientific research to the general public. Through various projects and events, the ICP highlights for example the interactions between science and art, and offers young generations hands-on experiences within its laboratories.

The VolvoX project, initiated in 2015 by artist Thomasine Giesecke, explores the intersections between art and science. More recently, Mireille Benoit and Hynd Remita collaborated with her to incorporate bichromatic gold nanoparticles into glass objects, an innovative approach in design. This installation was showcased at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in 2021 and at the Salon Experimenta in 2022. The film is now available on YouTube and in the portfolio on Thomasine Giesecke's website.

As part of her PhD in the CAPRI group under the supervision of Sylvie Héron, Lucie Arberet studied the traditional Mesoamerican dye extracted from the Justicia spicigera plant, used for illustrations on pre-Columbian parchments. Her work has been shared with the public through various media, including a video interview for DIM MAP (2021), a podcast from Radio France titled "Le Journal des Sciences" (2023), photo exhibitions in five train stations across Île-de-France (2023), as well as at the Pierre and Marie Curie Campus in Paris (2021) and the Mexico Campus (2022). For more information on the Justicia project, you can visit the website of the Major Research and Innovation Domain (DIM) for Material Heritage – Innovation, Experimentation, Resilience (PAMIR) and the CNRS photo report.

The ICP regularly welcomes school groups (middle and high school students) for educational visits, either upon request or as part of the "Sciences pour Tous" initiative organized by the University of Paris-Saclay and the Sciences Essonne association. This initiative aims to host a week-long internship for 3rd-year students interested in science from schools in priority education networks, providing a " discovery of the laboratory as a workplace and research environment" experience.

For the Science Festival, workshops are offered to primary school students, while high school students pursuing scientific studies can visit the ELYSE platform.
