Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC) is one of the major multidisciplinary universities in the Paris area of France. UPEC is dedicated to building knowledge and actively addressing the challenges of social and environmental transformation by promoting excellence and greater social justice. Its strategic plan is built around six pillars of interdisciplinary development, training, and research.

UPEC’s institutional project is guided by three major strategic orientations: being a committed university that serves excellence and all pathways to success, being an active university that controls its own path and maintains a social impact, and being a university that is open to the world and its diversity.

In 2021, UPEC was awarded the largest grant in a national call for projects with the ERASME programme (Education and Research to Advance Societal Missions through Engagement). As an engaged university, UPEC addresses the challenges of social and environmental transformation by promoting excellence and greater social justice.
