Supervising Universities

Cities and territories are constantly evolving. Recognising this shared vision, six higher education and research institutions, each with recognised expertise in the field of sustainable urban development, have come together to pool their skills and know-how to create a new kind of international university: Université Gustave Eiffel. Formed from a shared history that began over 20 years ago, this institution was officially created on 1 January 2020, and brings together a university (UPEM), a research institute (IFSTTAR), an architecture school (Éav&t), and three engineering schools (EIVP, ENSG, and ESIEE Paris).

Since its founding in 1971, Université Paris-Est Créteil has encompassed 7 faculties, 4 institutes, 3 schools, 1 observatory, and 32 research laboratories. Each year, it trains more than 32,000 students in over 300 academic programmes, from undergraduate to doctoral level.

The Ecole des Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris is the only engineering school in France authorised to award a degree specifically in Urban Engineering.
