One of the University's key development challenges is to ensure that the University is part of its local community, a place where people can live and work. Associations, cultural, sporting and scientific activities, cross-disciplinary projects, partnerships with local socio-economic players and the creation of places of cohesion all help to create a sense of belonging and a common culture specific to the University.
The University wishes to play a role in supporting the emergence and development of talent, with two objectives: to create a sustainable campus environment and to network the university community.
To enable students to live and enjoy their campus to the full, the university is developing a policy of supporting projects. More than 600 events are hosted each year on the two campuses (Hannah Arendt and Jean-Henri Fabre) and give rhythm to the life of the university community.
This dynamic is also made possible by the 40 student associations, major players in campus life.
