University of Montpellier

The University of Montpellier (UM) in southern France is one of the three universities that were formed with the split of the original University of Montpellier in 1970. UM is a modern scientific and technological university that is uniquely based in the city of Montpellier, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. With 10 research departments and 15,000 students, it offers a diverse range of education and research and enjoys an international reputation as a world leader in biological research (Wikipedia).

The Master “Sciences for Environment” of UM, under which MEME is partially based, includes all master-level education in non-molecular biology in Montpellier. Important research in ecology and evolution at UM includes a variety of topics, among which lagoon ecosystems, evolution and diversity of cultivated plants, host-parasite interactions, tropical and Mediterranean symbioses and exploited marine ecosystems.
