"Heir of both the Sorbonne University and the Faculty of Law of the Pantheon, Paris 1 is one of the leading universities in the field of humanities and social sciences as in that of law and the economy.
Since its incorporation in 1971, Paris 1 has consistently expressed its commitment to a university model combining openness and quest for excellence, taking responsibility to host the student audience as large and diverse among French universities, but also to position such as one of the leading research institutions in its field, as evidenced different indicators. Paris 1 was constantly present in the development of new sectors. It was one of the first to adopt a mission in charge of overall relations with the companies."
