2 3 [ EDITORIAL ] Dear students, As a new academic year begins, all of us at Université de Nantes are pleased to welcome students especially those who have just received their high school diploma. Every year, there are more than 37,000 students preparing one of our 164 degrees within one of our 20 components. Owing to the recent public health issues, we have had to introduce exceptional plans to make it possible to bring back students while respecting social distancing. Nonetheless, we invite you to get your bearings on campus and discover all the facilities and services on offer. Our teams are on hand every day to ensure you can enjoy the best possible conditions. The future depends on educating young people and fostering innovation and research. Our university is proud and happy to welcome you among us this year and our aim is clear: to create conditions that enable each and every student to thrive and find fulfilment. Pursuing a degree, whether in a university program, a technical or vocational field, always requires a strong personal investment. Whatever your goal may be, all of us at Université de Nantes are committed to helping you carry it out in the best conditions. While implementing your project and building your future, you also have the opportunity to get involved on campus. We are devoted to supporting your initiatives and guiding you in your projects. We are proud to welcome 150 student associations from a wide variety of interests on our campuses. These associations promote expression, exchange and citizenship awareness among the student body and are all essential for the high standing of the University. We are committed to enabling project planning, fulfilment of ambition, cultivation of differences and to connecting talents. We hope you have an exciting year, full of audacity, creativity and success and We pledge a strong and unfailing support from our University.
