International partnerships and networks
Strategic Partnerships
Nantes Université has established a clear international strategy aimed at enhancing its presence on both the European and global stages. Its strategic partnerships reflect this dynamic and forward-looking vision.
These partnerships, which complement the university’s existing collaborations, reinforce Nantes Université’s international identity through a set of interconnected and mutually supportive approaches:
- a territorial approach at the local, regional, and European levels;
- a multidisciplinary approach;
- a thematic approach, with a particular focus on future healthcare, the industry of the future, and well-being;
- an ethical approach rooted in the university’s core values of inclusion, openness, and sustainability;
- and finally, an approach that supports the Francophone world.
At present, three strategic partnerships have been formally established:
- the EUniWell European University alliance, which encompasses all members of Nantes Université;
- the partnership with the Université de Montréal, which combines both territorial and multidisciplinary approaches;
- and the partnership with IIT Madras, focused on the field of engineering.
