'''Jean Monnet University''' (
== History ==
The plan to develop a university at Saint-Etienne was first devised in 1960. On March 27, 1969, the University of Saint-Étienne was officially created. From the outset, in tune with its time, it has set up classic university teaching which allows it to present today almost all of the disciplines and professional fields. The beginning of the 1990s saw in particular the creation of an engineering school and a second IUT, in Roanne in addition to that of Saint-Étienne, as well as numerous professional second and third cycle degrees. Also from the outset, it has focused its efforts on permanent training, in terms of research, original niches in the context of the Rhône-Alpes region.
In 1989, it took the name of Jean Monnet, one of the founders of the European Union. Faithful to the latter, in 2003-2004 it brought its diplomas to European time by adopting the LMD system (license, master, doctorate).
On July 23, 2008, it was one of the twenty pilot universities, chosen by the government, to be autonomous. Thus, the university has been managing her budget herself since 1 January 2009.
Since 2017, a plan to merge this establishment with several others based in Lyon has been under discussion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.francebleu.fr/infos/education/universites-le-maire-de-saint-etienne-refuse-de-signer-la-fusion-avec-lyon-1575635481|title = Universités : Le maire de Saint-Étienne refuse "en l'état" la fusion avec Lyon|date = 6 December 2019}}</ref> This merger caused tensions since 2019, the lack of preservation of the Saint-Etienne identity being cited by many stakeholders.<ref>{{cite web|author= |url=https://www.leprogres.fr/education/2020/06/29/fusion-de-l-universite-jean-monnet-on-vous-resume-l-affaire-depuis-le-debut |title=Loire.

== Campus ==
The main campus is located in '''Tréfilerie''', in the city of Saint-Étienne. It houses arts, languages and letters courses, with law, economics and management, human sciences and the Maison de l'Université (administrative building).
Sciences and sports are studied in '''Metare''' campus, which is located in a less urbanized place in the city. A [[University Institutes of Technology|University Institute of Technology]] (IUT) is located in Metare too, providing some short courses over two or three years.
Optic and vision and the engineering school [[Telecom Saint-Etienne]] are located in the '''Carnot''' campus in the north of the city. The [[Hubert Curien Laboratory]], which is composed of about 90 researchers, professors and assistant professors, 20 engineers and administrative staff, and 130 Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researcher, is devoted to optic, image and computer science, is located there and works in association with the university. This makes it the most important research structure at Saint-Étienne<ref>[[Hubert Curien Laboratory]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=August 2019}}.
'''Bellevue''' campus houses the medicine faculty. Another campus is located in the city of [[Roanne]], with a second University Institute of Technology.
The population at Jean Monnet is considered to be traditionally hospitable because of its proximity to the traditional town of Saint-Étienne.<ref name="mastersportal1">{{cite web|url=https://www.mastersportal.com/universities/273/jean-monnet-university.html|title=Jean Monnet University|website=mastersportal.com|access-date=12 September 2023}}</ref>
