UM2030 - IDEES: IDEX and ISITE integration and development

The France 2030 UM2030- IDéES program, which stands for "Integration and development of IdEx and ISITE", aims to reinforce the central role played by the University of Montpellier by integrating all I-SITE consortium partners in a shared approach.

Funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), IDéES, led by François Pierrot, Vice-President of International Relations, proposes to develop large-scale initiatives that address the three major challenges of "Nourish-Care-Protect" in three areas:

Strategic international partnerships
Data science for all sciences
Innovation Campus

Program components

International and strategic partnerships

The Strategic International Partnerships component aims to raise the site's international profile through international initiatives that address the priorities of the UM and its partners, as well as the Nourrir-Soigner-Protéger challenges.

Its aim is to strengthen the Montpellier site's ability to act as a gateway to and from other countries, with a focus on the South, and to facilitate synergy between the members of the I-SITE consortium and the complementarity of their international tools and platforms.

Founding principles

Strengthen international relations around the strengths of the Montpellier site.
Build alliances and develop action programs.

3 thematic Key World Initiatives are being developed to stimulate exchanges and collaborations in an open science dynamic:

Data science for all sciences

Sub-programme coordinator: Anne Laurent, Vice-President for Open Science and Research Data

The "Data science for all sciences" component aims to transform practices and orient all players towards data science by building an efficient and sustainable environment.

Innovation Campus

Sub-programme coordinator: Philippe Combette, Vice-President in charge of partnerships and innovation

The "Innovation Campus " component of the Pôle Universitaire d'Innovation de Montpellier (PUI de Montpellier) offers a complete innovation pipeline and strengthens the University's ability to raise funds from the private sector.

The general framework of the Innovation Campus is part of the site's innovation strategy, supported by the Montpellier PUI, a structuring project led by the University of Montpellier and implemented in close collaboration with 13 institutional partners.

This project was conceived at the start of 2022, in line with the MUSE Initiative of Excellence, which has now been made permanent, and was one of the 5 pilot sites chosen by the MESR at national level. This strategy is thus the place where several axes resonate, notably the one linked to the creation of start-ups.

The Innovation Campus component of the UM2030 project aims in particular to strengthen the entrepreneurship support system by creating a dedicated team within the INITIUM Incubator and setting up a "PEPITE DeepTech incubation pathway" throughout the PUI. It also provides funding for innovative projects that are winners of the Montpellier Innovation Booster - BIM program.
