and university laboratories ParisI VIII XIII

Never reconstruction projects, moving, or grouping were so many. It is true that there were urgent. If the new universities built in Ile-de-France are still good figure, heritage Paris, particularly degraded disabled the capital in the international competition. No fewer than 272 sites or an average of 22 University mostly managed by the Rectorate of Paris, have been identified. Some have nothing to do with education (apartments, castles...). The idea of reconfiguring and better streamline the Parisian University map is regularly mentioned in reports. The last, which emanates from the General Inspection of finance, should be loud when it was published. "The situation is inextricable. "We must clarify, avoid dispersion, re-create an identity around poles", says the Minister of advanced education, Valérie Pécresse, who wishes to see emerge four in Ile-de-France (Condorcet, Saclay and two in Paris). Overview of the projects.

The Condorcet campus

Just focused on the baptismal font, the Condorcet campus was the subject of political battles. The project is ambitious: build by 2012 on 130,000 m2 between the North of Paris (door of the chapel) and Aubervilliers a large campus of human sciences at the time of establishments (EHESS, who left the boulevard Raspail, the EPHE...), and university laboratories (Paris-I, VIII, XIII). But if the idea of improving working conditions and to revitalize the North of Paris is consensus, the arms of iron multiply. Each of the partners (State, communities) wish that another invest more. The Paris City Hall, which is committed to purchase the land for the chapel door operation, then to the free reconvey to the State, it annoys make the current owner, the public establishment network Ferré of France, Mount auction. The city had planned EUR 15 million; RFF awaiting at least 10 more. The University of Paris-I, which will relocate part of its workforce is irritated that the given fully partante of the Sorbonne and redoubt State forced to sell some of the buildings. Discussion win researchers: a part of economists special oppose their move, resulting in their wake of Paris-I. Young and experienced are divided on the departure.

The Saclay plateau

The redevelopment of the Saclay plateau is as ambitious as complex, given the wide range of actors: State, local communities, universities, schools, economic actors. Several large schools should take their neighborhoods, even leave Paris: AgroParisTech, Ensae, Ensta, TelecomParisTech, the idea being into Polytechnic campus. Is that consensus is difficult to find: not only some criticize the Department want to "empty Paris", but the man responsible for the synthesis between all stakeholders, Philippe Lagayette, President of the Foundation Digiteo triangle of physics resigned. Jacques Glowinski, administrator of the College of France (as relates to Valérie Pécresse), and Vincent Boisserin Pourquery, Director of the equipment in the region (depending on Christian white) Centre, the replace, with mission to find a solution for Paris-XI Orsay, the scientific University nearby, also known as degraded. The idea of a renovation had been contemplated, but now it appears more likely that the University is completely rebuilt on the shelf. The two experts will make next week a study technical and financial two scenarios.

Parisian universities

Two large poles are emerging in Paris, one located on the montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the second consisting of the new University of Paris-VII, installed on the left bank ZAC, after years of work and approached to merge with Paris-V. The two multidisciplinary poles may be added schools of commerce and economy, the ESCP and Paris-Dauphine.
