■Abstract
Higher education and research (HER) in France is carried out by three types of institutions: universités, grandes écoles, and research organizations. Each of them have their strengths and weaknesses. The French Government launched major programs, such as IDEX (Intitiative d’Excellence) around 2010, to reinforce cooperation between them, and to raise the visibility of French HER.
Université Paris-Saclay was established in this context. 3 universités, 4 grandes écoles, and 7 research organizations gathered to give birth to an institution with a new type of structure, and a science city in the suburbs of Paris. One outcome is the creation of an university with the highest ranking in the EU.
The presenter is an insider of this project. After giving some elements on the structure of HER in France, he will focus on the process of the establishment of a new institution and the transfer to a new campus.
