Paris Cité University (French:Université Paris Cité) is apublicresearch university located inParis,France. It was created by decree on 20 March 2019, resulting from the merger ofParis Descartes (Paris V) andParis Diderot (Paris VII) universities, established following the division of theUniversity of Paris in 1970.[3] It was originally established as theUniversity of Paris (French:Université de Paris), but was renamed by decree in March 2022 to its current name.[4]
The university headquarters is located in theÉcole de Médecine building, in the6th arrondissement atboulevard Saint-Germain. It has 15teaching hospitals and 28,800 medical students. It is the main successor to theUniversity of Paris Faculty of Medicine, founded around1200, along withSorbonne University.[5]
Following the disruption, de Gaulle appointedEdgar Faure as minister of education; Faure was assigned to draft reforms about the French university system, with the help of academics.[6] Their proposal was adopted on 12 November 1968;[6] in accordance with the new law, the faculties of theUniversity of Paris were to reorganize themselves.[7]
Some of the new universities took over the old faculties and the majority of their professors:social sciences byParis-I Panthéon-Sorbonne University;[8] law byParis-II Panthéon-Assas University;[9]humanities byParis-III Sorbonne Nouvelle[10][11] andParis-IV Sorbonne University; science byParis-V Descartes University,[12][11]Paris-VI Pierre and Marie Curie University,Paris-VII Paris Diderot University, andParis-XI Orsay University.[13]
The thirteen successor universities to theUniversity of Paris are now split over the three academies of theÎle-de-France region.
The Universities ofParis III,Paris V, andParis VII have been moving closer together since the mid-2000s as part of the establishment of research and higher education clusters (PRES) and the Campus Plan. An initial understanding bringing them together took place in January 2006 with the creation of the association Paris Centre Universities, which then brought together the university with those of Paris 1, Paris 5, and Paris 13, whereas the other Parisian universities had united around the Paris Universitas project the previous year. The projects put forward by these initial meetings of institutions were not retained in the first phase of the campus plan of April 2008, and new links are being formed.
University of Paris VII subsequently became part of theSorbonne Paris Cité project, which also brings together the universities of Paris III, Paris V and Paris 13, as well as other higher education institutions such asSciences Po, and the PRES was officially created on 13 February 2010.
In 2017,Paris III Sorbonne-Nouvelle University andSciences Po withdrew from the merger project but the universities of Paris V and Paris VII decided on a merger scheduled for 1 January 2019. The University of Paris was created as a university grouping on 20 March 2019.
The Universities of Paris V and Paris VII were dissolved on 1 January 2020 while theInstitut de Physique du Globe de Paris, as a "component-institution", retains its legal personality.
On 21 June 2019, Christine Clerici was elected president of University of Paris. On proposals, she appointed the following faculty councils: Alain Zider, dean of the Faculty of Science, Xavier Jeunemaitre, dean of the Faculty of Health, and Sylvain Moutier, dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The Academic Senate of University of Paris, meeting on 8 October 2019, elected Edouard Kaminski, vice-president for research, Philippe Roussel-Galle, vice-president for training.
After an appeal by theParis 2 Panthéon-Assas University, theConseil d'État annulled the part of the decree that established "University of Paris" as the name of the merged university on 29 December 2021.[14] The university was renamed to "Université Paris Cité" by decree in March 2022.[4]
