Research fields of excellence

Areas of Excellence Supporting Major Social Transformations

Understanding the world, inventing the solutions of tomorrow, and training the people who will bring them to life
In the face of major scientific, technological, environmental, and societal transformations, we have chosen to combine excellence, interdisciplinarity, and impact.

As one of the most internationally recognized research-intensive universities, theUniversité Grenoble Alpes draws on the breadth of its disciplines and the strength of its scientific ecosystem to structure its activities around major areas of excellence. Serving as true hubs of expertise, these areas bring together researchers, faculty, students, and socio-economic partners around shared goals.

This organizational structure enables us to manage research, education, and innovation in an integrated manner, from the generation of fundamental knowledge to the development of concrete solutions that address the challenges of our time. It also strengthens our ability to push the boundaries of knowledge, train the talents of tomorrow, and actively contribute to global transformation.
