French university associations known as "" (PRES; English: centers for research and higher education) were a form of higher-level organization for universities and other institutions established by French law in effect from 2007 to 2013. The 2013
Law on Higher Education and Research (France) The Law on Higher Education and Research of July 22, 2013 replaced laws promulgated by the previous French government in 2006 and 2007 (for example the law on Liberties and Responsibilities of Universities) regarding the organization and autonomy ...
discontinued the PRES; these have been largely replaced by the new Communities of Universities and Institutions (French translation abbreviated COMUE). The list below indicates the status of those institutions designated as PRES or related associations before the 2013 law took effect. See the
list of public universities in France The French Ministry of Higher Education and Research lists 160 public higher education establishments. It divides these into four categories: * 65 universities * 60 ''écoles'' * 25 ''grands établissements'' * 10 other establishments These are ...

History

The reforms of French higher education in 1968–1971 broke apart several public universities into numerous autonomous successor universities. For example, the
University of Paris The University of Paris (), known Metonymy, metonymically as the Sorbonne (), was the leading university in Paris, France, from 1150 to 1970, except for 1793–1806 during the French Revolution. Emerging around 1150 as a corporation associated wit ...
was split into thirteen universities, Paris I through Paris XIII. These universities have subsequently formed groupings in order to pool resources and better advance their joint activities. Some of these groupings, which typically take the legal form of a ''groupement d'interêt public'', or ''GIP'', are themselves called universities or university centers. In addition to universities, they may include other institutions of higher education and research as well as municipal and regional governments. The process has accelerated with th
law of 18 April 2006
on the reform of research in France. This has permitted the creation of tighter groupings called , or ''PRES''. In addition, there are a number of consortia of engineering schools, such as the
Grenoble Institute of Technology The Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP) (''Institut polytechnique de Grenoble'' , ''Groupe Grenoble INP'' and before INPG) is a French technological university system consisting of eight engineering and management schools. Grenoble I ...
