On January 1, 2025, the University of Burgundy formally became “Université Bourgogne Europe,” bringing together 11 institutions (including Burgundy School of Business and Science Po Dijon) across six campuses. The move reinforced UBFC’s mission, expanding to 400 courses, 28 research labs, and broad European-wide partnerships, particularly in tech, health and humanities
UBFC earned a position in the 601–800 range in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023. That reflects its research rigor, teaching quality, and global engagement, raising its international profile
Every year, UBFC organizes the "Village des Sciences" in Dijon and around 150 public-science events—including planetarium shows and festivals—through the national Fête de la Science. These events boost public science engagement and foster community‑researcher exchanges
This proprietary system consists of polymer microparticles loaded with nanoparticles engineered to deliver nucleic acids into cells. It enables precise targeting for gene therapies, mRNA vaccines, and RNA interference. The design improves stability, biodistribution, and cellular uptake, and represents a leap in biomedical delivery techniques. Though still emerging from Franche‑Comté’s labs, it highlights the region’s growing footprint in biotech .
Academics at Franche‑Comté developed a cultured barrier model simulating intestinal inflammation. Useful for drug testing and understanding gut disease, it features co-cultured epithelial and immune cells, preserving barrier integrity and inflammatory response dynamics. This platform advances preclinical research on IBD, microbiome interactions, and nutraceutical effects. It reflects the institution’s capacity in tissue engineering and organotypic modeling .
This optical sensor embeds multicore fiber technology, enabling multiplexed sensing across physical or chemical variables. It potentially measures temperature, strain, or refractive index changes simultaneously. The innovation supports remote and distributed sensing tasks in structural health monitoring, environmental science, and security. It exemplifies Franche‑Comté’s focus on fiber-optic instrumentation
