Annex
Preamble
In a rapidly changing international context, universities, major schools and research organizations present on the south-west sector of the Ile-de-France region decide to collectively create the Paris-Saclay University, a world-class research and innovation university carried by the community of universities and institutions subject to these statutes.
The decision to create the Université Paris-Saclay is the culmination of a process of cooperation between its members, initiated on the occasion of their project of installation on the site of the plateau of Saclay and which benefited from a new dynamic in 2007 on the occasion of the creation of thematic networks of advanced research (RTRA) "Triangle de la physique" and "Digitéo". This dynamic was reinforced in 2011 by the creation of the Jacques Hadamard Mathematical Foundation and the establishment of the scientific cooperation foundation Campus Paris-Saclay. The latter institution brings together most of the members of the Université Paris-Saclay and carries out the contracts of the collective projects carried out in the framework of the future investment programme (PIA), in particular that of the initiative of excellence (Idex) Paris-Saclay notified in April 2012.
Cooperation between members, initially primarily focused on research, has gradually spread to all fields of action of a university through Idex: training, transfer, international, interactions with society. Idex Paris-Saclay's institutions now want to go further in cooperation and mutualization as part of a shared project; they are convinced that it is necessary to bring this project shared by a new institution, that of a community of universities and institutions, as defined at theArticle L. 711-2 of the Education Code.
The Paris-Saclay University brings together in an original model a set of autonomous institutions of higher education and research and research organizations that retain their identity as well as their means and agree to coordinate their actions and to pool certain means within the framework of a shared project defined and implemented jointly.
On the south - south-west area of the Ile-de-France region, the Université Paris-Saclay organizes the territorial coordination of higher education and research institutions and research organizations that request it, in terms of the provision of training and research and transfer strategy as provided for in the case of research and transfer strategyArticle L. 718-2 of the Education Code, in the form of the territorial group Paris-Saclay comprising the member institutions of the Université Paris-Saclay and the associated institutions.
The creation of the Université Paris-Saclay also benefits from a financial endowment for the development of the campus located on the territory of the community of agglomeration of the plateau of Saclay (CAPS) and the realization of a real estate project allowing the arrival of new member institutions, the relocation of many research teams, the accommodation and restoration of students and staff.
It is established, under the name "Université Paris-Saclay", a community of universities and institutions established in the legal form of a public institution of a scientific, cultural and professional character in application of the 4° of Article L. 711-2 of the Education Code.
The Paris-Saclay University guarantees its users and its staff strict respect for their rights and freedoms as they result, in particular, of theArticle L. 811-1 of the Education Code and, with regard to the military students of the Polytechnic School, articles L. 4121-1 of the Defence and Defence Code Act No. 83-634 of 13 July 1983 amended to include the rights and obligations of public servants and, with respect to HEC staff in the Paris-Ile-de-France region Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Order of July 25, 1997 relating to the Staff of Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
