Located in Tarbes, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, this new institution brings together the National School of Engineers of Tarbes (ENIT) and the Institute of Technology of Tarbes (IUT).

UTTOP offers an integrated Training/Research/Innovation architecture, enriched by the ecosystem developed by the ENIT and the IUT.

UTTOP aims to expand its range of education at all levels (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD, and engineering degree) not only on a local level but also with a focus on national and international outreach. It will be complementing the policies carried out by the University of Toulouse.

UTTOP is built upon a research strategy centered around three societal challenges, driven by an ambition for international recognition.
