ImAGEin Events

From September 2nd to 5th, Université Côte d’Azur had the pleasure of welcoming the very first cohort of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master imAGEin programme, for a week of integration, exchange, and discovery.Selected from hundreds of outstanding applicants, these talented students have come from all over the world to begin an ambitious academic journey in the Life Sciences — with a specialisation in the biology of ageing.

For many of them, this marks not only their first experience in France, but also in Europe. With origins spanning Asia, the Americas, Africa, and Europe, this diverse group brings incredible cultural and human richness to the programme.The Welcome Week served as both a warm introduction to their new academic environment and an opportunity to connect with their peers — future collaborators, friends, and fellow adventurers on this international journey.



Highlights from the week included:

• A Joint Welcome Day with the MemBioMed programme on the Valrose campus in Nice
• Academic seminars
• Group meals with the cohort
• Free evenings to relax and connect
• A guided tour of Antibes, showcasing the beauty of the Côte d’Azur

We are proud to support this new generation of international students as they begin their studies — and their lives — in a new country, language, and culture.

✨Here’s to our first cohort and to 2 years of growth, collaboration, and academic excellence!
 

Back in December 2023, we organized a Winter School with the EUR Life Graduate School in Nice, within the Université Cote d'Azur.

A winter (or summer) school is an intensive program around an annual theme aimed at providing an intensive and innovative learning experience to discover and strengthen knowledge of the fundamental disciplines of Life Sciences. Each of our Winter School and Summer school are offered in the EU or with free access to the scientific public subject to registration.
