context_page_description: Paris-Saclay is a research-intensive and business cluster currently under construction south of Paris, France. It encompasses research facilities, universities, French higher education institutions and also research centers of private companies. In 2013, the Technology Review put Paris-Saclay in the top 8 world research clusters. In 2014, it comprised almost 15% of French scientific research capacity.
  The earliest settlements are from the 1950s, and this area was subsequently extended several times during the 1970s and 2000s. Several projects are underway to continue the development of the campus, including the relocation of some facilities. The goal is to strengthen the cluster in order to build an international scientific and technological hub that can compete with other high-technology business districts, such as Silicon Valley or Cambridge, MA. This project started in 2006 and is likely to end in 2020. The main part is the construction of the campus du plateau de Saclay, in order to launch the Université Paris-Saclay.
context_section_description: The proposed new construction and renovation of campus was launched by President Nicolas Sarkozy who wants to create a "French Silicon Valley". The entire project is estimated to three billion euros funding.
  The different steps to set up the campus are part of several government operations.
  The opération d'intérêt national de Massy Palaiseau Saclay Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines is established in 2006. Larger than the campus, it provides for the creation of a science and technology cluster on the Saclay plateau. It is supported by "Grand Paris" project which also provides that the campus is accessible by the Ligne verte du Grand Paris Express.
  The "plan campus" permits an investment of 850 million euros.
  With the debt, a billion is invested. Saclay campus is one of the winners of the « initiatives d'excellence » project so was awarded another grant of 950 million of euros. 30 October 2012, Jean-Marc Ayrault confirmed for the future operation of the project Campus Paris-Saclay staffing a billion for real estate transactions designed to bring together institutions, 850 million from plan campus and additional billion for investments for the future.
  Several institutions of higher education will be moved on the campus, such as:
  the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay
  ENSTA ParisTech,
  Agro ParisTech. Particularly, AgroParisTech and INRA have a project for the construction of a common building in Palaiseau. It will include all activities INRA Île-de-France unlocated in Jouy-en-Josas or Versailles.
  CentraleSupélec
  ENSAE ParisTech
  Télécom ParisTech which moves was confirmed in September 2010,
  the University of Paris-Saclay.
  Along with other institutions already located in the cluster, these education institutions are to be merged in University of Paris-Saclay. This university is to enter the Shanghai ranking between the 10th and 20th position.
  In February 2001, the Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University became a founding member of the scientific cooperation foundation foreshadowing the future campus on the Saclay plateau. In November 2011, the Mines ParisTech finally withdrew the project.
  Three administratives structures have been created for this project:
  The Établissement Public Paris-Saclay, chaired by Pierre Veltz.
  The Fondation de coopération scientifique Plateau de Saclay is the structure that carries the project. It must unite the various institutions at the university and scientific level. It is successively chaired by Alain Bravo, Paul Vialle (28 April 2009 to his resignation on 30 March 2011) and Dominique Vernay.
  The consortium des établissements du Plateau de Saclay, which brings together 23 institutions.
