The University of the Côte d’Azur (UCA) is an association of Universities, Business and Art Schools, Hospitals and French National Research Organisms led by University Nice Sophia Antipolis (UNS).

Our ambition is to:

- Move the UCA squarely up into world-class research and innovation rankings, with a high-profile international attractiveness;

- Confer upon UCA the role of an international leader in transdisciplinary research, by encouraging an adapted scientific and intellectual posture, and by decompartmentalizing the various topical components through joint projects;

- Attract to UCA, students and researchers with strong creative potential through an ambitious range of training and research programs that includes state-of-the-art information and communication technologies and by drawing artistic creation and scientific creation closer together;

- Anchor UCA in its territory by multiplying interactions between academic research and private development research;

- Make UCA an essential partner in areas with strong socio economic potential, especially the use of digital domains in the sectors of health, well-being, aging, environment related hazards, and the smart city and territory.
