French to English Other Science (general) University administration

I know tutelle has appeared many times before, but none seem to correspond exactly to my context.

It's from a press release that describes a joint research project between a private company and a French university research lab that is part of several universities and the CNRS, which are referred to as "ses tutelles".

Here is the exact wording:

"Les sujets qui seront abordés dans ce laboratoire commun pourront générer des connaissances fondamentales qui pourront nourrir le domaine cosmétique mais aussi les domaines du biomédical et des matériaux fonctionnels, domaines d’intérêt du LCPO et de **ses tutelles**, le CNRS, Bordeaux INP et l’université de Bordeaux."

and

"...il n'y aura pas un simple transfert de technologies entre L'Oréal et le LCPO et **ses tutelles**, mais ce laboratoire permet aux chercheurs d'avoir une véritable une feuille de route technologique et stratégique en commun et un partage dans la durée."

The link to the online source if that helps: https://mediaroom.loreal.com/loreal-ri-et-le-laboratoire-de-...

I've thought of a number options, such as supervisory authorities, coordinators, supervisors, etc., but am not really hpapy with any of these. I've also tried to rearrange the sentence so I could use "under the auspices of, run by", etc. but nothing sounds very good.

Any ideas whether there is an appropriate noun in English that would fit here?

UK English.

Thanks!
