engineering, habitat
quality and hydrology.
The cluster and its

SNCF, etc.).
A campus of excellence
and innovation in
sustainable cities:
Université Paris-Est is
located in a partnership
territory that is itself the
subject of a multi-form
research programme. It
lies both at the frontier of
a global metropolis and
at the very heart of the
Grand Paris development
project and benefits from
strong demographics
and social, economic
and environmental
fundamentals which
are the real catalysts for
sustainable development.
