Paris Diderot University, also known as Université Paris Diderot – Paris 7, is a French leading University located in Paris, France. It is one of the heirs of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Paris (together with Paris 6), which was one of the earliest established in Europe, founded in the mid 12th century and formally dissolved in 1970. It adopted its current name in 1994.
Université Paris Diderot – Paris 7 is famous for its teaching in Science, especially in Mathematics. Indeed, the Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires (Laboratory of Probability and Random Models), which is one of the centers of research of Paris Diderot University, has discovered many fundamental results of the theory of Probability.
Université Paris Diderot – Paris 7 is a founding member of the higher education and research alliance Sorbonne Paris Cité which is a Public Institution for Scientific Cooperation bringing together four renowned Parisian universities and four higher education and research institutes.
Formerly based at the Jussieu Campus in the 5th arrondissement, the University has moved to a new campus in the 13th arrondissement, PRG (Paris Rive Gauche). The first buildings were brought into use in 2006. The university has many facilities in Paris, and two in other parts of the general area. However, by 2012, the University will complete its moving and will only be in its new ultra-modern campus.
