About Université Côte d'Azur
Basic information and contact details for Université Côte d'Azur
Université Côte d'Azur is a large public scientific, cultural, and professional institution which brings together 18 of the Côte d’Azur’s leading academic players around a historical university core. Its fundamental missions are the higher education of students and professionals, excellence in research, and innovation for the benefit of all.
Since January 1, 2020, we have strived to build a 21st century French university based on new interactions between disciplines (multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity) and driven by dynamic collaborations that connect Education, Research and Innovation, as well as strong local, national, and international partnerships with the public and private sectors.
Among the top 9 research-intensive universities in France, with a strong international reputation, Université Côte d'Azur is committed to transformation and excellence, which it has achieved thanks to the Initiative of Excellence (IdEx) that was awarded in 2016 and made permanent in 2021, placing it among the top 9 research-intensive universities in France, with a strong international reputation. Home to the IA-Cluster « 3IA Côte d’Azur 2030", Université Côte d’Azur also created the French School of AI (EFELIA Côte d'Azur) in 2022, and established Graduate Schools (EUR). The university aims to be a major research-intensive university with both strong roots in our region and an international and European outlook, notably through the European University "Ulysseus" of which Université Côte d’Azur is a founding member.
A pleasant environment for its staff and students
Université Côte d'Azur has several campuses, mainly in Nice, Sophia Antipolis and Cannes but also widely distributed between Seyne-sur-Mer and Menton.
