About Cote d'Azur University
Université Côte d'Azur has undergone a significant transformation, evolving into an experimental university as of January 1, 2020. This change saw the consolidation of both the Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, established in 1965, and the Communauté d'Universités et d'Etablissements Université Côte d'Azur, founded in 2015. Now encompassing 17 prominent academic institutions clustered around its historic core, Université Côte d'Azur has ascended to become one of France's top 10 research-intensive universities. Its attainment of the prestigious Initiative d'Excellence (Idex) label in 2016 underscores its elevated standing. This accolade, conferred by an international panel, not only places the university among France's elite research institutions but also grants it additional resources to fuel its continued growth and innovation. It stands as a testament to the university's ability to compete on a global scale. The UCAJEDI project spearheads the university's strategic approach, targeting the pivotal challenges of the 21st century. Focusing on resilience and sustainability of local governance, economic and social transformation through digital innovation, and well-being and aging, this initiative leverages research, education, and innovation to address these critical areas.
