The University of Provence's collaborative activities with British partner institutions have been steadily expanding in quantitative terms over the past 10 years; they have also branched out in new directions, involving a wide range of academic fields in both the sciences and the humanities, in research and teaching activities, thereby opening up prospects of intensified and diversified collaboration in the future. The University of Provence enjoys academic partnerships with over 40 universities across the United Kingdom, although with a deficit in Wales and in Northern Ireland, which we hope to be able to remedy in the near future. This chapter offers an assessment of the University of Provence's collaborative activities with its British partners, with a view to bringing out the strengths and successes of our cooperation with UK institutions but also to identifying those aspects of it which can be improved. We also look at prospective partnerships in the short to medium term, as well as longer-term projects and ambitions for the development of scientific and academic collaboration between the University of Provence and British universities.
