Framework agreement between the École Normale Supérieure and the Institut Pasteur

The École Normale Supérieure (ENS) and the Institut Pasteur work closely together in the fields of research and education, with a number of scientific partnerships and the introduction of the "Médecine-Sciences" Program, a joint program in cooperation with the Institut Curie and PSL Research University aimed at medical students looking to receive both scientific and medical training.

Given their shared areas of interest, the complementary nature of their expertise and their joint activities within PSL, the ENS and the Institut Pasteur have decided to strengthen and develop their partnership. On January 26 they signed a framework agreement that encourages and outlines arrangements for future collaboration. Three new Master's modules have already been developed, some in cooperation with the Institut Curie. They will be part of the future PSL Master's in Life Sciences, which will pave the way for the introduction of a comprehensive new program in fundamental biology for health, specially geared towards "Médecine-Sciences" students.
