University of the Côte d'Azur inaugurates IMREDD “experimental university” in Nice
A Nice-based university will play host to a research centre studying the development and implementation of smart cities—urban locations that operate in an efficient and energy-saving manner.
A collaboration by the University of the Côte d’Azur and the Nice-Côte d’Azur Metropolitan area, the project will be financed to the tune of €30 million under state-regional plans. The IMREDD—the Mediterranean Institute of Risk, Environment and Sustainable Development—is intended to be the lynchpin of the future Nice-Méridia district, a planned smart city area.
