Let’s talk about impact
In June 2023, the Paul Valéry University Montpellier 3 once again earned the “dd&rs” label, for Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility, covering a new four-year period. The university had already been granted the label in 2019, illustrating Montpellier Métropole's strong commitment to socially responsible and sustainable higher education and research.
