What is a PRES?
A PRES, or Pôle de recherche et d’enseignement supérieur, is one of the new instruments of cooperation proposed by the Research Programme Act of April 2006.
The PRES is a regional network of higher education establishments with an international goal. The aim of the PRES is to strengthen the visibilty and the appeal of the French higher education and research system. By being part of a PRES, institutions are part of a larger structure, a crucial factor in international recognition.
