A few words about Confederal University Leonardo da Vinci (UCLdV)
Confederal University Leonardo da Vinci is an association of three public higher education institutions in the same area that have chosen to collaborate on specific strategic issues. Those institutions are the universities of Poitiers and Limoges and ISAE-ENSMA engineering school based in Poitiers
Built on a balanced partnership between those 3 member institutions, UCLdV aims at developing ambitious projects that bring together several actors from each institution through a project-based methodology. The rationale for cooperation between the institutions is that the most cross-cutting and strategic projects are easier to devise, implement and develop if done through a collaborative process. The main offices of UCLdV are located near Futuroscope theme park, in Poitiers.
