On Thursday September 11, 2025, Université Côte d'Azur celebrated the signing of two major agreements on the Valrose campus, in the presence of Jeanick Brisswalter, President of Université Côte d'Azur, Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice and President of the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis, Karin Houpillart and Xavier Rousselle, Director and Principal of ISART Digital, alongside students from the new pharmacy department and ISART pupils.

The first agreement, signed between the City of Nice, the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolitan Area and Université Côte d'Azur, aims to strengthen their collaboration around several priority areas: student life, research and innovation, sciences with and for society, training and educational innovation, entrepreneurship, environmental and societal transitions, international and European influence, as well as campus planning and development.

The second agreement associates Université Côte d'Azur and ISART Digital, ranked 2ᵉ video game school in the world. Established since September 2023 within the Metropole's Innovation Hub, ISART Digital now becomes an associate institution of Université Côte d'Azur, opening up new prospects for academic and scientific cooperation.

These signatures mark an important step in the construction of a joint development strategy for the benefit of students, researchers and the region as a whole.
