Founded in November 2005, Biotrace is the scientific student association at the University of Montpellier, located on the Triolet Campus within the Faculty of Sciences. Its mission is to promote science and build connections between students, researchers, and businesses, thereby contributing to everyone’s education. The association acts as a bridge between the academic and professional worlds, giving students the opportunity to step outside the strictly educational framework to deepen their scientific knowledge and expand their network. Biotrace’s activities are built around three pillars: Science: lectures, laboratory tours, and scientific workshops to discover, understand, and share knowledge. Exchange: meetings with professionals, student networking, and social events to build connections among participants. Innovation: support for student projects, challenges, competitions, and sustainable initiatives to foster the creativity of tomorrow. The association is active on Instagram (biotrace_mtp) and LinkedIn (Association Biotrace), and can be contacted at .
