GBU meaning in Academic & Science ?

The Groupes Bibliques Universitaires (GBU) are student groups that meet at universities or nearby for in-depth Bible study. They were founded in the beginning of the 20th century and currently operate in an officially recognized way in more than 154 countries, with a presence in 168 countries.

The goal of the GBU is to discuss Biblical texts and to make the Bible known in the academic world. Though they have a clear evangelical Christian orientation, those groups are non-denominational and are open to all students.: 16 The French and Swiss GBU are founding members of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (Union Internationale des Groupes Bibliques Universitaires), a network of like-minded campus organizations around the world.
