The Office of International Scientific Visibility was created in 2016 following the successful candidature of UCA for a French Idex award. Our mission is to enhance, in every way possible, the international visibility of UCA researchers and of all the research-related activities taking place at our university. 

By spreading the word about the scientific strengths and successes of UCA research, we hope to enhance the ability of UCA to attract the best faculty, student, and staff talent from around the world, and to optimize the reputation and standing of UCA with international funding and university ranking agencies.

The Université Côte d'Azur, like all French universities, does not have its own student residences. However, there are different options for housing in the Alpes-Maritimes area.

In France, the process of reserving and entering your home includes many formalities that apply to both the public and private sectors.

A deposit will be required at the time of booking (by the student residences) or at the time of signing the lease (by the landlord). This deposit will protect the landlord and allow for the repair of potential damage if the tenant does not return the place to the same condition as it was at the beginning of the contract.

Holders of a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) are covered by the corresponding social security agency in their home country, which will continue to take care of their reimbursements. In case of illness, there is only a co-payment due after presenting the EHIC.

If you do not have an EHIC or a temporary certificate, you must register with the French health insurance agency.
