The ISITE-BFC project is leading the university and higher-education community toward multidisciplinary approaches strongly connected to the industrial challenges of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Although the label is not perpetuated, some of the initiated projects will continue until 2023.
Led by UBFC, the “ISITE-BFC” project (for French “Initiatives Science Innovation Territoire Economie en Bourgogne-Franche-Comté”) was laureate of the Investment for the Futur Program (“Programme d’Investissements d’Avenir“) in 2016. It aims to create a stimulating and attracting international environment for talented students and researchers from around the world.
This project simultaneously aims to provide the inhabitants of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté with access to knowledge, cultures and international exchanges, as well as to initial and continuing training, opening up job opportunities in a competitive market.
