As an ancient city founded in the Gallo-Roman era, Grenoble benefits from an exceptional geographical location and natural environment, whose potential has attracted people from all over the world. Its physical and geographical constraints have not been an obstacle to the exchange with the outside world, but the opposite. They have undoubtedly stimulated the impulse to exchange with those who live beyond the mountains.
The vitality of the paper and cement industries, the invention of hydroelectricity, led the city in the 19th century to welcome the first migrants from the South (Spain, Greece, Italy) and from the East (Armenia, Russia, Asia).
In 1968, the world discovered its natural environment, but also the vitality of its associative and cultural nature. The first artistic exchanges with the foreign world began, the first twinnings, in particular with the territories of origin of its immigration (Maghreb, sub-Saharan Africa and Vietnam).
Becoming one of the first international scientific and university centres, promoting sustainable development and social policies, Grenoble has developed from the end of the 1970s till today a strong policy of hosting political refugees ( Chile, Argentina, Cambodia), academics, researchers and foreign companies (United States, Germany, Brazil, Australia), by favouring the installation of expatriates over more or less long periods.
Grenoble is a commune in the south-east of France, capital of the department of Isère, former capital of Dauphiné. Its population is 160,649 inhabitants.
At the economic level, 7 out of the 10 largest companies are foreign (30 different nationalities, 42,000 employees on 550 sites), the most important being American, German and English. The Grenoble universities opened doors to foreign students very early (1 in 5 students today), and helped open universities abroad, from Bamako to Ho Chi Minh City. It is rare to find a university in the world that does not have a partnership with a laboratory or faculty in Grenoble.
