Migrants, refugees, asylum seekers

Because it is part of our concerns, and because we believe in maintaining compliance with the laws on higher education and research, we have set up points of contact and policy officers to contribute to a governance that maintains, encourages and initiates objectives and means, oriented towards long-term benefits for the public, for users, and for university staff.

Receiving migrants, refugees or asylum seekers

Caring for people in exile is one of the major political and social challenges of our time. Université Grenoble Alpes provides concrete answers by receiving and training these groups.

Co-FormER

With the Co-FormER program, the university proposes a concrete response to the migration issue by becoming a place to receive and train for those in exile. The Co-FormER program has a twofold objective: integrating people in exile into the community and the training of students who wish to commit to a social and solidarity project.
