The Instituts hospitalo-universitaires (IHU) are medical training and research centers. They have been created by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2009. The instituts hospitalo-universitaires are in partnership with universities (University of Paris, Sorbonne University, etc), hospitals as well as research laboratories both private and public. The target is to be centers of excellence in French medical research, to train specialists in their fields of competence, to attract renowned researchers and to promote their work. Significant economic spinoffs are expected, indeed the institutes must allow "the development of innovative health products" by weaving partnerships and "increase the attractiveness of France for the health industries, thereby improving the efficiency of care by cost containment".[1] · .[2]

They are located in Paris, Strasbourg, Marseille and Bordeaux.
