Sustainability of PSL University

12 November 2020

On November 5, 2020, the State announced its continued support for PSL University. This is a recognition of all the work accomplished for more than ten years to create a new model of University whose international reputation is reflected in its components, including the Paris Observatory - PSL.

The PSL Project started 10 years ago on Mount Sainte Geneviève. The establishments - components of PSL have come together with a common scientific and pedagogical project, and in a perspective of international influence.

Back to the birth of a new University.

Over the past 10 years, PSL has taken on different legal forms, and is now an "experimental establishment". Rather than an experimental establishment, it is more the birth of a "new university", a sign of the transformation of French Higher Education, Research and Innovation.

PSL, like Saclay, represents an original model that brings together a dozen "grandes écoles" to "make university".

The perpetuation of the Idex thus marks an important milestone: together, the nine establishments - components of PSL - have made it possible to carry out major research projects and programs.

Together, they have driven pedagogical innovations, supported innovation and technology transfer.
