European Digital UniverCity (EDUC)

The University Paris Nanterre is a member of the European Digital UniverCity (EDUC), one of the first alliances to be accredited by the European Commission in 2019. It is thus positioning itself as a benchmark higher education institution in Europe for establishing a truly transnational campus and promoting new forms of mobility and cooperation in education and research. Supported by the Erasmus+ and H2020 programmes, it has also received additional French funding through PIA 3.
Using modern digital tools and face-to-face collaboration, EDUC forms a strong triangle of shared knowledge and academic values between Western, Central and Southern Europe, developing strong links between local environments to address the global challenges of the 21st century.
