Eastern Paris, a dynamic region

Université Paris-Est is located mainly in two departments that straddle Paris

– Seine-et-Marne and Val-de-Marne – and its institutions have rallied around a new

Community project that brings together the campuses of Cité Descartes and Créteil/

Maisons-Alfort and the Grand Paris clusters of excellence.

A DYNAMIC REGION

EASTERN PARIS

Eastern Paris is the

capital’s demographic

and economic

development corridor.

It is a young region

with a European and

international focus

thanks to its motorways

and rail network and its

airports, the rejuvenation

of its industry, the

development of its

healthcare services and

the creation of the Val

d’Europe economic and

tourism cluster.

Université Paris-Est

has strong roots in the

region and is, thanks to

its extensive network, a

key stakeholder in local

and regional planning in

close liaison with local

inhabitants and in phase

with its socio-economic

profile.

All of its sites have

excellent public transport

links and these will be

further enhanced by

the future Line 15 of the

Greater Paris Express

automatic metro which

will link the campuses of

Créteil/Maisons-Alfort

and Cité Descartes, in less

than a quarter of an hour.
