Paris-Saclay University is a French research university in the southern suburbs of Paris, on the Saclay plateau. It was formed as a merger of the University of Paris-Sud and several research institutions and engineering schools, and it was designed to make a cluster to rival leading universities abroad. It brings together elite schools such as CentraleSupelec, AgroParisTech and the Ecole normale superieure Paris-Saclay, together with research laboratories linked to the CNRS and the CEA. In international rankings, it has been placed among the best in continental Europe, particularly for physics and mathematics, and it has produced several Nobel laureates and Fields medallists.
