There you will find six large themed areas where you can meet numerous services and associations to get information, exchange ideas and ask any questions you may have:

• Cultural and community life
• Well-being, health and solidarity
• Practical life
• Support, guidance and entrepreneurship
• International outreach
• Sports area

Enjoy a range of activities

Sports activities, rowing machines, Caravane Baleine (mobile laboratory), bars and food on site... Everything has been designed to celebrate the start of the new academic year and leave you with memories to last a lifetime. 

The artists of the Meute group, who have been in residence on campus for a year, invite you to a unique party: a dance with the microorganisms that inhabit our bodies and our environments. Discover ‘the smallest nightclub in the world’, in the belly of a whale, to dance, explore and celebrate these microscopic worlds that inhabit us and connect us under the lights and glitter.
