The PSL Foundation

The PSL Foundation serves the University's strategic and innovative projects in research, education, innovation and knowledge dissemination.

Driven by a dual vision of excellence and equal opportunity, the Foundation contributes, thanks to donations from individuals and companies, to the funding of multiple initiatives (chairs, scholarships, housing, etc.) and directly or indirectly manages the intellectual or industrial property rights related to its activities.

In 2023, the PSL Foundation's gender equality index was 74/100.
