Welcome to U7+

On January 30-31, 2025, Université Côte d’Azur’s Initiative of Excellence hosted the 2nd edition of the U7+ Alliance Presidential Delegates Meeting in Nice, France. 

In a time of rapidly changing and increasingly unstable geopolitics, the members of the U7+ Alliance of World Universities are working together to address challenges related to access to education, in order to strengthen networks and continue to build global capacity to address some of society’s most pressing problems.

More than 75 university leaders from 16 countries convened at Keio University in Japan this week and called on G7 leaders to invest in peace and security education at all levels, lower barriers to student exchanges that foster cross-cultural understanding, and defend academic freedom.
