Discover Université Grenoble Alpes

An agreement was signed in July 2019 to promote scientific exchanges and projects between the University ofUniversité Grenoble Alpes s (UGA) and McMaster University, building on long-standing collaborations with, among others, the Materials and Processes Science and Engineering Laboratory (SIMaP) and the Interdisciplinary Physics Laboratory (LIPhy).

Key Figures

• 54 scientific articles co-authored since 2019.
• 42 outbound exchanges and 15 inbound exchanges since 2016.
• Three joint thesis supervision arrangements have been established since 2022, involving the Néel Institute, the Interdisciplinary Physics Laboratory (LIPhy), and the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics (IPAG).

In the field of education

• Exchange agreements signed with Grenoble INP–Phelma, UGA; Grenoble INP–Ensimag, UGA; and with the Faculty of Sciences, UGA.
• Dual degree in mathematics, statistics, and their applications, in collaboration with IM²AG, UGA, and Grenoble INP–Ensimag, UGA.
• Joint science courses offered to students at McMaster University and to undergraduate physics students at UGA.
• Exchange opportunities at the master’s and doctoral levels are available for both incoming and outgoing students, thanks to the Globalink Research Award (GRA) grants co-funded by UGA andthe Canadian agency Mitacs.
• Dual degrees in chemistry and computer science.
• International Training Program in Nuclear Science. This project, launched at the initiative of McMaster University, also involves the Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), the Technical University of Munich (Germany), and the Institut Laue-Langevin (France).

In the field of research

• A long-standing partnership with the Materials and Processes Science and Engineering Laboratory (SIMaP) at the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA), dating back to the 1980s.
• Collaboration with LIPhy in the field of biomedicine, biomaterials, and biological materials (Bio3).
• More than a dozen UGA laboratories are involved in exchange activities (workshops, visits) aimed at strengthening existing scientific cooperation: GIN, IF, ILCEA4, TIMC, DCM, GRESEC, LJK, ISTerre, SIMaP.
