Strasbourg is currently working in conjunction with the nearby universities of Basel, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, and Mulhouse in order to build a sophisticated Upper Rhine academic community. The university is exceptionally well situated to take on intercollegiate activities due to its location at the meeting point between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean countries.
