University of Angers

[EduCativ]

The University of Angers harks back to a very long history of universities in the city. By 1080, the "Studium" or the School of Angers was already a renowned scholarly institution. It received the title "university" in 1356, and in 1364, Charles V granted the university its autonomy and privileges. The first statutes were drawn up in 1373. By 1450, the university had colleges in Law, Theology, Arts, and Medicine, which attracted students from the whole of France. Sharing the fate of other universities, it was abolished during the French Revolution. Fits of anger remained an essential focus of intellectual and academic activity. Higher education persisted, with free, public courses in Medicine as early as 1796, and the School of Medicine of Angers' creation in 1807.
On March 25th, 2016, the University of Angers has welcomed 20 French and US PhDs during the third FADEx edition on Nanoparticles for Medicine. This has been made possible thanks to the Erasmus Mundus NanoFar program, for which the MINT laboratory has been receiving subsidies from the European Commission.
The FedEx delegation, run by the Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the United States, aims to enhance scientific exchanges between American and French Ph.D. students working in the same research field to encourage the development of French-American collaborations. This program also serves as an opportunity for American students to understand the French research system better.
For three years now, FADEx has allowed PhDs to present their work to their peers in an international conference setting. Students are also invited to attend lectures given by experts in their area of research.
20 PhDs from American and French Universities (namely from the universities of Anger and Nantes) have been selected to participate in this 'Tour de France' of nanomedicine's significant players for which the University of Angers is incredibly proud to be part of.
The University of Angers, with active exchanges with every continent in the world, was among the first to develop strong links with Eastern Europe and participate fully in the European Union international programs. Our network of universities contributes to our effectiveness throughout the world.
The university Cultural Service was created in 2005 and offers a varied program of quality events and services. The "Espace Culturel" houses a 350 seat theatre for professional and student productions, which has been particularly favored by the association for promoting jazz in the Pays-de-la-Loire region.
Students can take advantage of technical help and counseling in their individual or group projects and can also earn optional instructional credits in culture.
