The institution was formed in 2020 through a merger bringing together the former University Paris-Est-Marne-la-Vallée, the IFSTTAR research institute, and three specialized engineering and architecture schools. This combination unified separate academic traditions into a single organization.
Students from the university participate in research programs focused on urban development, transportation systems, and sustainable city planning across multiple disciplines.

The university houses portions of the collection and archives from IFSTTAR, a research institute long known for studying transportation and infrastructure systems. These holdings offer a window into decades of French research on how cities and traffic systems evolved.
