The Collège de France is a higher education and research establishment in Paris, set near the Sorbonne. King Francis I founded it in 1530, and over its history it has been known as the Collège royal, the Collège impérial and the Collège des trois langues. It holds the French legal status of grand établissement, and it is an associate member of PSL University. Its stated ambition is to teach the knowledge that is being built up in all fields of literature, science and the arts, so teaching and research are closely linked there. For a social-science reader it matters as one of the long-standing public institutions through which scholarly knowledge in France has been produced and passed on, and it is widely regarded as the most prestigious research establishment in the country.
