Classement THE Impact 2020

The Times Higher Education Impact, created in 2019, are global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For this second edition, Université PSL ranks #53.

Says Alain Fuchs, President of PSL: "This excellent performance rewards the strong commitment of all PSL communities to sustainable development. Nearly half of our laboratories work directly on one or more SDO-related topics. A major effort is also being made in terms of training, particularly at undergraduate level, whether through the introduction at Dauphine of a common core curriculum dedicated to global warming, or through the opening at the start of the 2020 academic year of our new multidisciplinary Bachelor's degree in Sustainablity Sciences: our students' expectations are very high in the field of sustainable development.
