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 Initiative ”, 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.
