Partnership with University of Oxford (United Kingdom)

The University of Oxford is considered as one of the best universities in the world. The collaboration was first built upon research programs in the fields of architecture, urban planning and health, instigated by the Laboratory of Excellence (LabEx) Architecture, Environment & Constructive Cultures (AE&CC) of Grenoble School of Architecture (ENSAG) - UGA.

Today, the partnership between the University of Oxford and the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA) has been expanded to many other topics, including human sciences (with a focus on digital humanities), artificial intelligence and quantum physics.

In 2019, the Oxford-Grenoble Alpes symposium celebrated the 30th anniversary of the twinning of Grenoble and Oxford. The symposium brought together many players from projects in the fields of chemistry, materials science (including magnetism, ferroelectricity and plasticity), soft condensed matter, and biophysics.

This twinning further solidifies the partnership within the region and fosters it through activities collaboratively developed by the university and the city. This is particularly facilitated by the Alliance Grenoble-Oxford, which organizes annually a program of events focused around various aspects of British culture and traditions.
