The science team of VenSpec-U, as a core component of the VenSpec suite, is shared between all three VenSpec channels (VenSpec-M, VenSpec-H and VenSpec-U). A list of foreign-based co-Is and collaborators with relevant expertise for VenSpec-U is available here. Here below is an excerpt of this list restricted to permanent staff members based in French institutions.

Non permanent staff can enjoy the status of collaborator rather than co-investigators (co-I), which is equivalent but has to be proposed by a permanent member of the VenSpec suite, and automatically revocated when the temporary position ends. The list can be found below.
