Nantes Université
Université de Nantes
Nantes Université is a higher education and research institute that offers a unique, globally-ranked university model in France. It brings together a university organised into faculties, three ‘grandes écoles’ (Centrale Nantes, École des Beaux-Arts Nantes Saint-Nazaire, and École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Nantes), a university hospital (CHU de Nantes), a technological research institute (IRT Jules Verne), and a national research body (Inserm). By pooling together their strengths, these key players aim to develop areas of excellence in Nantes research, in particular to design and build the future of healthcare and industries. They provide new training opportunities for students by breaking down the barriers between ways of thinking, cultures, and practices. Nantes Université is a sustainable institution committed to and involved in the evolution of society. It fosters a unique approach to promote open science, open education and open innovation.
