History
The Leonardo de Vinci University Center, a higher education University center, has been created in 1995 by the Hauts-de-Seine general council, managed by Charles Pasqua: it is thus often colloquially nicknamed the “Pasqua University" (Fac Pasqua).[1]
The cluster was a private French higher education. Originally, it was financed mainly by public funds.[2] The cluster is now managed by the Leonardo da Vinci Association (ALDV) and no longer receives any subsidy from the Hauts-de-Seine. The cluster has been managed by Pascal Brouaye since 2012.
The Leonardo de Vinci University Center has been EESPIG certified since January 10, 2018.[3]
