By-laws and site contracts for members of the Université Paris Lumières
The Board of Directors of the following universities adopted the by-laws of the Université Paris Lumières COMUE (a grouping of French universities and higher education institutions): University Paris 8 and Saint-Denis (on 4 July 2014), University Paris Nanterre (on 7 July 2014) and the former PRES Centre of research and higher education. The CNRS Scientific Research Centre is also a member of this federation of higher learning.
Under the Law of Higher Education and Research, which was promulgated on 22 July 2013, French universities were required to decide how they intended to work together in the form of an Federation or Grouping known in French as a COMUE. For nearly a year the two universities have been debating the form this federation would take. In addition, they have discussed the safeguards to be included in the by-laws of the federation so that they could be applied to the member universities.

On 30 October 2014, the Board of Directors of the CNRS Scientific Research Centre must decide on the adoption of these same by-laws. If adopted, the decree on the creation of the Université Paris Lumières federation will be published. The decree will also define the different direct elections of this new body in early 2015.
