Gustave Eiffel University (Université Gustave-Eiffel) founded 1 January 2020,[1][2][3][4][5][6] is a French university under the Academy of Creteil that is specialized in the study of cities and transportation. Located in the Cité Descartes in Marne la Vallée, it resulted from the fusion of the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée, the IFSTTAR national research institute and the close association of three engineering schools and a school of architecture. Together, these represent one quarter of France's research community in these fields. It has 17,000 students, 500 doctoral students, 1,200 faculty, and 1,300 staff.

History

Gustave Eiffel University was created by French government decree,[3] and was founded on 1 January 2020. The University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée (UPEM) and the IFSTTAR national research institute are fused into the new university; whereas three engineering schools, ESIEE Paris, the École des ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris (EIVP), the École nationale des sciences géographiques (ENSG Géomatique) and the architecture school, École d'architecture de la ville & des territoires Paris-Est - join the new university while each retaining its separate legal status. The fusion was decided upon despite the formal opposition[7][8] of unions representing UPEM workers.
