PSL Research University (L’université de recherche Paris Sciences et Lettres) is a collegiate university formed from 22 institutions of research and higher education in the Paris area, and three national research organizations. It was originally formed in April 2010 as a pôle de recherche et d'enseignement supérieur (PRES) by five prominent French institutions : the École Normale Supérieure, the Collège de France, the Paris Observatory, Chimie ParisTech and ESPCI ParisTech.
