PSL Research University was born as a result of the strategic alliance between twenty-one prestigious French institutions sharing common values and practices, based on scientific excellence and on the outstanding potential of their students. PSL member institutions are united in a common desire to create a unique Research University in order to enhance their profile and so compete with the greatest universities across the world.

Labeled as an “Excellence Initiative1”, PSL is the institutional response to a shared ambition: to encourage innovation and creativity, to attract the most outstanding researchers, professors and students, to equip students to take on the major challenges of the future, and to make research a genuine factor of economic growth.
