UTBM is proud to announce that it has been awarded a new Erasmus+ AC171 (KA171) project with eight partner universities in Angola, Cameroon, and Togo. Exchanges of students, doctoral candidates, and staff will take place over the next three years. This European funding will help strengthen Franco-African collaboration by advancing education and research.
