Innovation Europe > News > Innovation EU Vol2-1 > Innovate with the University of Strasbourg

The newly-created University of Strasbourg is the result of the merger, as of 1 January 2009, of the three universities that existed in the city. Its research activities and curricula now cover almost all academic fields, from law, economics and management, letters, arts, humanities and social sciences to science, technology and health. The merger, the first of its kind in France, has put the University of Strasbourg at the forefront of the national academic scene, and the University of Strasbourg is praised for its innovative policies, quest for autonomy and is held up as an example of good practice.
