History

Gustave Eiffel University was created by French government decree,[3] and was founded on 1 January 2020. The University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée (UPEM) and the IFSTTAR national research institute are fully fused into the new university; whereas three engineering schools, ESIEE Paris, the École des ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris (EIVP), and the École nationale des sciences géographiques (ENSG Géomatique); along with the École d'architecture de la ville & des territoires Paris-Est; join the new university while each retaining its separate legal status. The fusion was decided upon despite the formal opposition[7][8] of unions representing UPEM workers.
