The University Paris-Sud 11 History Headquarters of the University Paris-Sud 11, Orsay must physicists Frederick and Irene Joliot-Curie to have developed in a Silicon-Valley "in French. By the 1940s, the two researchers had already proposed a decentralization of the University of Paris to the southern suburbs. In 1942, Irene Joliot-Curie was even reported to the Rector of the University there is a potential site on the Saclay plateau. The decisive event occurred a few years later (in 1954) when France decided to attach to its participation in the CERN development of its own research in nuclear physics. Irne Joliot-Curie proposed the creation of the Institute of Physics Nuclear Orsay and work began in 1955. She died in 1956, and that Frederick was the first director of the Institute. At the same time, be built the Linear Accelerator Laboratory (LAL). Meanwhile the situation of teaching at the Sorbonne became increasingly critical and extension to the hall to the wines to be delayed. Thus in 1958 was decided to transfer Orsay part of the teachings of the Faculty of Paris. In 1965 was recognized the independence of the Orsay Faculty of Science and in 1970, the law enforcement orientation of higher education was the center of Orsay one component of the University of Paris south, also enriched by the faculties of Medicine (UFR Kremlin-Bicetre), Pharmacy (Faculty of Chatenay-Malabry), Law and Economics (Dept. of Seals) and the IUT of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering (Cachan) IUT Chemistry, Computing, Chemical measurements (Orsay) and IUT of Business and Management (Seals). Polytech 'Paris-Sud , or formerly the Training Institute of Engineers of Paris-Sud ( IFIPS ) includes all the engineering courses at the University Paris-Sud 11, and hosts over 500 students mainly in the fields of computing, optoelectronics, materials and electronics industry, principally at the site of plateau de Moulon in the Essonne. On 1January 2010 IFIPS joined the Polytech and took the name of Polytech Paris Sud University Institutes of Technology The University has fifteen graduate schools, and is linked to six other doctoral institutions : 2574 PhD students are enrolled in 2008-2009 and 481 theses have been defended in 2007-2008. On January 15, 2009: The label ISO 9001 version 2000 obtained in 2005 for all its training activities was renewed in December 2008. On the site alongside teacher-researchers, library staff, engineers, administrative staff, technicians, workers and personnel of Health (BIATOS) and the researchers and engineers, technicians and administrative (ITA) of outside agencies that also work at Paris-Sud 11. In total, there are over 5000 people at the university. In 2009, the University Paris-Sud 11 is placed at 43 th World Ranking of World Universities , and it ranks second after Paris 6 French, European and tenth. She is ranked sixth worldwide, two in Europe and first in mathematics in France and nineteenth World, fourth in Europe and first in France in physics Orsay on: Campus life has two aspects: the associative culture and quality of representation by elected students. Student associations are of several types: tutoring PACES , medicine and pharmacy corporations, clubs at engineering school Polytech'Paris-South ... Some components, such as pharmaceuticals and life sciences are particularly well developed because of space left to them: Alley associations Chatenay-Malabry for pharmaceuticals and building 334 to Orsay for science. The latter associations are grouped into a federation of associations history, FASECO (Federation of Student Campus d'Orsay), which holds regular events such as the Telethon. To mark the 40th anniversary year of the university in 2011, FASECO extends federation with university aims to bring together associations of other campuses, and was renamed FAZ '. The launch takes place at a gala closing 40 May 6, 2011. Changing demographics of the university population
