On Monday October 20, 2025, Université Côte d'Azur and Inserm signed a new gender diversity agreement on the Valrose campus in Nice, in the presence of Didier Samuel, President and CEO of Inserm, and Jeanick Brisswalter, President of Université Côte d'Azur. The signing took place during the visit of an Inserm delegation to the Nice campus.

This agreement renews and deepens the scientific cooperation initiated several years ago between the two institutions. It aims to promote the joint development of joint research units, pool human and technical resources, and strengthen links between basic, clinical and public health research.

It is also in line with the major priorities shared by both institutions: open science, scientific integrity, professional equality, sustainable development and international influence.

"The signing of this agreement is a perfect symbol of our shared determination to assert the Côte d'Azur's scientific excellence, and to pursue the development of innovative, collaborative and open research into the major issues of tomorrow. By joining forces with Inserm, we are placing health, biology and the training of our students at the heart of an ambitious and inclusive joint project, both locally and internationally. "Jeanick Brisswalter, President of Université Côte d'Azur

This new agreement consolidates a long-standing partnership, marked by the creation and development of numerous joint Inserm/Université Côte d'Azur units on the Côte d'Azur. It also paves the way for new scientific synergies and innovative projects, notably by young researchers, helping to make the Côte d'Azur a major healthcare research hub.

This event is in line with the agreements signed by Université Côte d'Azur with major research organizations, confirming Université Côte d'Azur's commitment to co-constructing an innovation ecosystem with its partners.
