Secteur santé - UGA

What Secteur santé - UGA does

Secteur santé - UGA is the health sector of Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), a French public research university, encompassing the Faculties of Medicine (UFR Médecine) and Pharmacy (UFR Pharmacie). The sector is headquartered at the Campus Santé in La Tronche near Grenoble and serves three primary constituencies: undergraduate and postgraduate medical and pharmacy students, healthcare professionals seeking continuing education (including the weekly Colloque médical du jeudi), and researchers/doctoral candidates. The sector operates within UGA's broader ecosystem of 57,000 students, 600 academic programs, 69 research units, and 3,348 patents (the first European university in innovation per the European Patent Office).

The sector's core product is its academic and research platform, centered on the BioTechLab — a biotechnology and bioproduction facility with 40+ specialized equipment items (bioreactors, chromatography, cytometry, cell culture, biofermentation) accessible via the MyGrr reservation system. Supporting infrastructure includes the Jardin Dominique Villars botanical garden (including its Japanese medicinal plants collection), the Studio Santé multimedia production unit, the Colloque médical du jeudi lecture series, the Service TIPS pedagogical support service, and the IFPS health professions training institute. Digital student services are consolidated through the Portail étudiant and LEO intranet. The 2024 launch of the 12-episode Fleurs du Japon podcast series demonstrates growing investment in science-culture crossover content.

Revenue is generated through multiple public-sector streams: French government higher education budgets, competitive research grants (ANR, France 2030, Erasmus+), regional council funding (Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), national tuition fees (with differentiated fees for extra-community international students per the 2019 decree), continuing education fees, apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage), and corporate sponsorship/mécénat programs. As a public institution under the French Ministry of Higher Education, the sector is not a commercial entity and does not pursue equity financing. Pricing is administered through national French fee frameworks, with a transitional year in 2026-2027 preceding a new inclusion-oriented fee device from 2027-2028.
