Université Saint-Joseph

Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth is a large private Lebanese university of public utility, founded in 1875, with a broad research and teaching mission and a Francophone, trilingual character. Its Beirut and regional campuses provide advanced laboratories, research platforms, specialized centers, doctoral schools, and a university medical center integrated with Hôtel-Dieu de France and affiliated hospitals. Industry engagement is reinforced through the Health Technology Pole, Berytech-linked entrepreneurship support, and a university research office that helps develop external partnerships and grant proposals. Research funding includes university support, Lebanon’s CNRS-L, French cooperation programs, AUF, and European programs. Technology-transfer programs help move applied research toward licensing, startups, and market-ready solutions.
