The University of Avignon (long name: University of Avignon and the Vaucluse, French: Université d'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse) is a French university, based in Avignon (President : Philippe Ellerkamp). It is under the Academy of Aix and Marseille.
It was founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, and closed in 1792 during the French Revolution.[1] The University was re-opened as L'Université d'Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse in 1984 following the 1963 placement of an annex of Faculté des Sciences d'Aix-Marseille in Avignon.[2]
