AN ACCELERATOR OF THE ENERGY TRANSITION

The funds allocated by the State and the European Union as part of the Recovery Plan are enabling the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris national foundation to accelerate the deployment of its energy optimisation strategy. Five campus buildings are concerned: the Fondation Avicenne, the Fondation Deutsch de la Meurthe, the Fondation Monaco, the Maison des étudiants arméniens and the Maison des Provinces de France.

Accelerating energy renovation and improving living conditions for students and researchers

An exceptional €100 billion recovery plan has been deployed by the government to accelerate the ecological, industrial and social transformation of the country. With financial support of €40 billion from the European Union, it is based on three axes: ecological transition, competitiveness and innovation and social cohesion. 25 million euros have been allocated to the national foundation Cité internationale universitaire de Paris for the thermal renovation of buildings.

The stimulus package is enabling work to be undertaken that will significantly improve the carbon footprint of some of our historic buildings, while improving the comfort of our residents. Without this support, we would not have been able to undertake these costly and complex works which are subject to specific heritage protection.
