Strong links with Industry

Putting companies at the heart of engineering training is a strategic axis chosen by EURECOM since its creation.

  • EURECOM is located in Sophia Antipolis, the largest technology park in Europe
    • 2 500 companies
    • 41 300 jobs
    • 5 500 students
    • 4 500 researchers
    • 80 nationalities
