Research components

The activity of the 1,200 researchers and faculty members at Université Gustave Eiffel is organised into research units and departments. These units from the founding institutions were evaluated in 2018 and 2019 by the High Council for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) , and are not likely to see their definitions change. Together, they represent a quarter of French research on the cities of the future.
