What are your plans for the coming semester? Ten student initiatives won the call for proposals launched in Fall 2021

Cultural and sports events, civic and charitable initiatives, scientific development... the initiatives of PSL students are flourishing. Together they inspire a dynamic and exciting campus life, the resilience of which has been proven over the past two years.
To support and foster such initiatives, Université PSL launches two calls each year and provides funding to a selection of projects from student organizations and only when they are not part of curriculum. Ten initiatives were selected from the seventeen that were submitted after the fall 2021 call. They will keep the heart of the campus beating loud and clear throughout 2022. To participate in their events, visit their social networks and the Université PSL University student life newsletter (link below).
