The digital campus of the University of Montpellier’s School of Digital Health, “ESNbyUM,” is now online
The University of Montpellier (UM) School of Digital Health and its partners (ESNbyUM)—an off-campus school and a project certified under the France 2030 initiative as part of the Call for Proposals “Skills and Careers of the Future – Digital Health Training Component,” is officially opening its digital campus, an immersive and collaborative platform dedicated to training the talent of tomorrow.
This ambitious digital campus project, the result of a collaboration between ESNbyUM, IAE Montpellier, and theUM Digital Information Systems Department, is an innovative tool that will help train a new generation of professionals capable of addressing the technological and human challenges facing the healthcare sector.

- sections on orientation, training, resources, news, and alumni, tailored to different audiences: students, teachers, and citizens.
The advantages of this campus, developed with the help of two service providers—Meja and Pimenko—are:
- bring together various healthcare professionals on a single digital health training platform;
- pool educational resources on digital health;
- strengthen interdisciplinary coherence;
- learn about digital health;
- use an AI chatbot to personalize your training;
- interact with alumni;
- move around the immersive 3D space and visit Montpellier's iconic landmarks.
