University strengths / key projects

UBFC has been awarded by the national French program “Projects for the Investment for the Future” and operates an “Initiative of Excellence” Project ISITE-BFC (Initiative-Science-Innovation-Territories-Economy). The main strategic objectives of ISITE-BFC are:

• to increase our international visibility by the emergence of UBFC Federal Research University,
• to evolve as an international reference in three Priority Research Areas:

Area 1 - Advanced Materials, Waves & Smart Systems: Advanced materials, smart systems, clean energy, Quantum and brain inspired photonic computing, Programmable matter.

Area 2 - Territories, Environment, Food: Socio-ecological and food transitions; innovation in agriculture and agro-food industry; soil & territory management strategies.

Area 3 - Comprehensive Individual Care: Innovative care tools of inflammatory and chronic disease; Human performance sciences; Integrative patient centered care approaches. 


• to drive interdisciplinary research and to help industry to move to a more intense high-tech profile,
• to create a stimulating international environment attracting international talented students and research staff.

UBFC has been awarded by the national French program “Projects for the Investment for the Future” for operating International Graduate Institute (InteGrate) composed of three Grdauates Schools :

EIPHI - Engineering and Innovation through Physical Sciences, High-technologies, and cross-dIsciplinary Research

TRANSBIO  - “Changes Towards sustainable production and Biodiversity”

INTHERAPI  - “INnovative THERApies, Pharmaco-imaging and multimodal Imaging”

 

InteGrate key features are:

• a cross-disciplinary approach in Physics & Engineering Sciences, including high-technologies,
• a broad spectrum of taught knowledge, from fundamental to applied sciences,
• a future-ready education program, for breakthrough, smart, and sustainable innovations,
• an attractive education track, personalized and definitely oriented toward international experiences,
• a graduating track immersed in internationally renowned Research Institutes, opening the doors to high-tech companies seeking for international profiles and high added value hard and soft skills.

UBFC has been awarded in the frame of the national call “New innovative programs at the university” to operate the project entitled “Succeed – Innovate – Transform - Mobilize in Bourgogne Franche-Comté (RITM-BFC).

The project aims to foster and enhance undergraduate student success. It is open to all disciplines and innovative projects coming from BFC community.  The priorities

• Build more individualized approaches for the success at the Bachelor level and a better preparation for professional integration
• Develop lifelong learning

International strategy

• Developing a stimulating international environment attracting international talented students and international research staff and faculty
• Internationalisation of BFC research
• Fostering international strategic alliances both at research & training levels
• Increasing the rate of international PhD and Master students
• Promotion of outward mobility of students
