Richly diverse through its disciplines, Université de Lorraine pursues a wide range of international activities: in- and outbound student exchanges (1,500 Lorraine students spend a part of their curriculum abroad, and 15% from a hundred different countries); degree programs offered jointly with other institutions (including several Erasmus Mundus master's programs).
The university is a major force in the economic and social development of the region.
With five centuries of history, Université de Lorraine is also a pioneer in the collaboration between arts, technologies, and industry, as embodied today in innovative projects such as ARTEM, the Institut Jean Lamour, the Institut Lafayette, and the Biopôle, among others.
