Launch of the first two PSL graduate schools
Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) university is awarded an endowment of 11.542 million euros for the creation of two research schools, as part of the first wave of the call for projects of the PIA3 (Plan d’Investissement d’Avenir / “Investments for the Future”) whose results were published on October 24th, by the MESRI (Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation) and the CGI (Commissariat Général à l’Investissement / “General Commissionner for Investment”)
The Graduate School TransLitterae - "Interdisciplinary Humanities and Cultural Transfer" studies cultural transfers on a global scale through history, using the conceptual tools of philosophy, political science, social sciences, philology, literature and the arts.
"Frontiers in Cognition: PSL Graduate School in Cognitive Science" or FrontCog, explores the boundaries of cognitive science, exploiting the broad spectrum of skills present at PSL (data science, physics, life sciences, engineering, humanities, arts and social sciences). It offers professional training courses, oriented towards basic research as well as industry.
These are the first two PSL graduate schools that have been created; additional schools will gradually be developed with a focus on disciplines where PSL leads on an international level. The two selected graduate schools reflect all characteristics of the future PSL schools : they promote learning through research by reinforcing the integration of the Master’s degree and PhD programs with the research units; they are at the best scientific level while responding to major societal challenges; finally, they will be central in the structuring of PSL.
