A shared identity: boosting the visibility of Université Paris-Est
and showcasing its key strengths
As research becomes an increasingly international activity and various academic
league tables incorporate bibliometric indicators in their classification criteria, a
shared brand under the “Université Paris-Est” label was introduced in 2007
for all researchers attached to UPEmember institutions tomake it easier
to identify publications and boost the sense of community.
A Federal University recognised for its original
scientific contributions and essential to public policies
and societal debates concerning the city, the environment and health
To boost its exposure as well as its regional, national and international development
strategy, Université Paris-Est showcases its potential through two multi-
disciplinary thematic research clusters.
Health and Society (
Santé
et Société
)
, located mainly at the Créteil/Maisons-Alfort site,
and
City, Environment and related Engineering sciences
(
Ville, Environnement et leurs Ingénieries
)
,
concentrated
principally at the Cité Descartes, Marne-la-Vallée site. Both
clusters have overlapping focuses embracing the engineering
and natural sciences and the human and social sciences.
This approach, combining lifelong learning, research and
expertise, helped to structure the projects submitted for
the 2008
Opération Campus
and
Investissements d’Avenir
(Future Investments [2010-2012]) initiatives and to boost
UPE’s profile and successes.
