Paris Universitas is an alliance or affiliation of six Parisian institutions of higher education which serve as a reference in their disciplinary fields.
Paris Universitas offers a wide range of disciplines from medicine to the humanities, engineering, law, management and the social sciences. It is expected that the Paris Universitas will rank between 1 and 3 in Europe for number of publications, although rankings have not yet been released due to the infancy of the institution. In 2006 Paris Universitas was ranked first among European Universities and 4th in the world for the largest volume of English language publications.
With strong research potential, 350 research laboratories, a broad range of disciplines, and almost 80,000 students, Paris Universitas is likely to become the second leading European academic institution (according to the Shanghai evaluation criteria), thus in the top ten worldwide. It will compete with leading international establishments, such as the University of Oxford, Harvard University, Princeton University, Stanford University, and the University of Cambridge.
A final name for Paris Universitas acceptable by all members, possibly including “La Sorbonne”, is still in discussion.
