Founded in 2010, Université PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres University) is a leading French research institution known for its interdisciplinary approach and commitment to fostering innovation. Ranked among the world’s top 50 universities, Université PSL draws directly from research to train researchers, artists, engineers, entrepreneurs and managers, giving them the opportunity to develop their creativity, critical thinking and entrepreneurial skills.

Université PSL is composed of 11 distinguished institutions: the Collège de France; Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique – PSL; Paris-Dauphine – PSL; École nationale des chartes – PSL; École nationale supérieure de Chimie de Paris – PSL; École normale supérieure – PSL; École Pratique des Hautes Études – PSL; École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris – PSL ; Institut Curie; École nationale supérieure des Mines de Paris – PSL; and Observatoire de Paris – PSL.

In addition to its member institutions, PSL benefits from the support of three prominent research organisations: CNRS, Inria and Inserm. This unique collaborative ecosystem positions PSL as a hub for groundbreaking interdisciplinary research. PSL gathers scientific knowledge from its wide variety of schools to foster unique opportunities for its communities in education, research, technology transfer, and industrial and academic partnerships at national, European and international levels.

Alain Fuchs, President of Université PSL, said: “The internationalisation of the university landscape calls for a concerted European approach to the major issues involved. Université PSL is very honoured to join The Guild and looks forward to contributing to this truly impactful network. Indeed, it not only shares the profile of The Guild's members (intensive research, multidisciplinarity), it also fully embraces its values and is truly committed to carrying them within and beyond Europe.”
