Annex
Preamble
This document was submitted during the spring of 2014 to the technical committees and boards of the establishments of the site and to the validation of the organizations to decide on the proposed guidelines for the structuring of the site of the Grenoble Academy. After recalling the values and ambitions that motivate the higher education and research institutions of the site and the national research institutions partners, it describes the governance framework of the proposed institutional structure (1), sets out the main lines around which scientific piloting will be organized, on the one hand, using major research hubs (2) and, on the other, the training and student life (3). The conditions for these changes are finally presented, in particular from the perspective of social policy and the method of consultation with staff (4).
In accordance with the declaration of October 19, 2013, institutions of higher education and research at the Grenoble Academy site and national partner research organizations have the ambition to build a federal university (1), which must allow unprecedented advances and realize the determination of political teams, reaffirmed on many occasions since, for institutions, their renewal of spring 2012. In order to ensure visibility and outreach to the site, the project, carried out by the institutions of higher education and research of the Grenoble Academy site and the national partner organizations, must provide the highest level of the values attached to the university community. These include:
1° The values of promoting knowledge, democracy, openness to the world and attractiveness, equal opportunities, parity and gender equality;
2° The access of the greatest number to training throughout high-level life, promoting professional integration and enabling social promotion;
3° Respect for the environment, the protection of biodiversity, moderation in the consumption of natural resources, responsible waste management and, more generally, responsibility for future generations;
4° Very attractive living and working conditions and the standard of the best universities on each of its campuses, the continued development of student life and cultural practices;
5° The promotion of scientific, technological and social sciences research, visible internationally, rich in all complementarities and the multiple scientific links created with our partners in Europe and the world;
6° The valorization of transfer and innovation in all fields of knowledge, at the service of the economic and social development of the country, including the site;
7° Connecting with companies and, more generally, the economic, social and cultural world, a strong and vibrant connection with societal demand, especially through interaction with State representatives and territorial authorities;
8° Social progress for staff.
The institutions of higher education and research of the Grenoble Academy and the national partner organizations pursue a joint project, whose objectives are five orders:
1° Building a world-class research and innovation facility, in strong synergy with research organizations;
2° Develop an ambitious offer of multidisciplinary, attractive, simplified and rich training of the site's complementarities, based on modern pedagogy and directed to a national and international public, combined with a welcome and follow-up of students promoting their success;
3° Conducting a proactive policy on sustainable development and proposing a long-term vision. On the one hand, the COMUE and its member or associate institutions must be known and recognized for their effectiveness in the production and dissemination of knowledge on this topic, in the training of professionally competent citizens and capable of developing critical reflection on environmental and social issues. On the other hand, the COMUE aims to coordinate its members' strategies on environmental and social issues, to organize the community around stimulating spaces and places of life where it works well. Finally, the COMUE must be a driving institution, invested in its territory and clearly engaged in the implementation of its environmental responsibility;
4° Continue the development of cultural and student life activities on all campuses;
5° Improve service quality and develop resources and skills in common.
The degree of integration envisaged by the establishments is not identical because of the different specificities and sensitivities. There is therefore a desire to establish a project that respects these ambitious and evolving differences. The simplicity and fluidity of governance structures, as well as respect for collegiality in decision-making and the definition of best subsidiarity, are essential elements of the project.
It is proposed a two-tier institutional structure around the merger of the three universities in Greece, on the one hand, and the creation of a community of universities and institutions (COMUE), on the other hand (see part 1).
COMUE respects the diversity of institutions. It is also from the various territories of the Grenoble Academy. Indeed, it is a matter of developing elements of national and international visibility based on the scarce wealth of a territorial anchor that ensures the same rights and services to all.
The COMUE must be strongly anchored in its territory. The presence of actors, whether future employers, communities or cultural actors, to guide, debate or participate is affirmed. In particular, their presence will be institutionalized or encouraged, including in the advice of the training units, members and components (institutions and poles) of the COMEU.
In this spirit, it is up to the COMUE to take fully into account all the territories, in particular Drôme and Ardèche, concerned by the site of Valencia, and Savoie and Haute-Savoie for the University of Chambéry. As such, the COMUE intends to support the development of these territories in the field of higher education and research. As a result, the COMUE undertakes to:
1° To ensure a balanced distribution on the entire site of the financial and human resources allocated to the COMUE; as such, a progressive convergence policy will be carried out;
2° Coordinate the development of the training and research offer in Pays de Savoie and Valencia, ensuring attrition, coherence and balance on the entire site;
3° Identify the COMUE projects that will be carried by members or associates, such as the Franco-Swiss development, which will be in partnership with the University of Chambéry;
4° Ensure that shared services at the COMUE level are offered across all territories, at levels consistent with the COMUE's progressive convergence strategy.
I. Institutional Structuring and Governance
I-1. Merger of the three universities
The aim is to build a new institution, named "University of Grenoble" from the three universities Joseph-Fourier, Pierre-Mendès-France and Stendhal, created in the late 1960s and whose disciplinary boundaries have become obsolete in many ways.
This large university, likely to have a major structuring effect, aims to cover all disciplinary fields. It will be organized according to the rules of common law provided by the law and which are of a nature to guarantee democracy and collegiality to which the academic community is attached. Given its size, it will also focus on five major principles in its organization and operation:
1° The balance of major disciplinary sectors, particularly between the exact sciences, on the one hand, and the social and human sciences, on the other;
2° Subsidiarity for the benefit of UFR, schools, institutes and research units;
3° Respect for the diversity of operating modes, which can be different from the disciplinary field considered;
4° The link between training and research;
5° The coherence of the scientific strategy of the site and the efficiency of its implementation, which, in particular, pass, in accordance with the prerogatives of the universities, by the delegation of certain skills to the benefit of the community.
"University of Grenoble" is a full-service institution, carrying out all the missions entrusted to universities by the education code. It is therefore free to determine, like any university - that is, alone or in relation to its partners and within the framework of its legislative and executive bodies - a policy of research, training, valorization, international relations, student life and management of all its personnel. In a collaborative spirit of structuring the site, it delegates some of its skills, pools and coordinates some of its activities with the other institutions of higher education and research of the Grenoble Academy and the national institutions that are located there within the COMUE.
I-2. Creation of a community of universities and institutions
It is proposed to create a new EPSCP in the form of COMUE taking the name Grenoble Alpes University in 2014. In order to structure the site by bringing together all the actors - who can be members of it or be associated with it by convention -, the COMUE aims to organize the territorial coordination provided by the law (scientific strategy, coordination of the training offer, digital policy, etc.), to carry the next IDEX application of the site as well as most of the skills exercised by the former entrepreneurship (development and campus plan, PhD of site, coordination of the public health A review in 2015 of the relevance of transfers can lead to adjustments to the benefit of inter-institutional cooperation or, on the contrary, to an enlargement of the COMUE prerogatives. This review is not intended to result in a decrease in the number of personnel assigned to these activities. It consists of services and includes research poles (see infra) that become components of the COMUE, as well as the doctoral college of site.
It is proposed that members of the COMUE be members, on the date of its creation, in July 2014: the three universities in Grenoble have committed to a merger, the Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble, which retains its status as a major institution, the CNRS and INRIA.
It is proposed to conclude conventions of association or partnership strengthened with other institutions of higher education and research organizations of the site, in particular by reserving a status of "in strengthened partnership" to certain public actors that are the University of Chambéry, IEP Grenoble, ENSAG and CEA. This status will guarantee them participation in the governance of the COMUE (representation to the Board of Directors by a clean seat, standing invitation to the Council of Members, the various strategic direction bodies and the office whenever the agenda deals with a matter that concerns them) as well as the opportunity to stand out to the desired competences of the COMUE. All the terms and conditions of the association will be specified by conventions taking into account the specificities of each of these institutions. In general, all partners participate, if they wish, in the activity and governance of the research hubs that concern them and to which they contribute. The status of a "strengthened partnership partner" or "associate" may be transformed into a "member" status if the institution concerned makes the request and that the institution is accepted according to the procedure, provided for by the COMUE statutes, for the admission of a new member. In this regard, it is proposed that the statutes endorse the abolition of the veto power of the COMEU member institutions as early as 2014 and that the membership of a new member be frozen for two years. Beyond 2016, the entry and exit conditions of the members will be fixed during a review of the COMUE statutes approved in early 2016 by each of the boards of directors of the COMUE member institutions.
With regard to the COMUE governance bodies, the COMUE Board of Directors is built on the following balances.
Board of Directors comprising forty-seven members:
1° Twenty-five elected (seven professors and assimilations, seven lecturers and assimilated, six BIATSS and assimilated, five users);
2° Six representatives (one representative per member);
3° Four representatives of the associated higher education institutions (one for the University of Chambéry, one for EPI Grenoble and one for ENSAG);
4° Two representatives of associated research organizations including one for ECA;
5° Five community representatives (one for the Rhône-Alpes region, one for the Savoie Countries, one for Grenoble-Alpes Métropole and one for the Drôme-Ardèche) and the companies;
6° A representative of the CROUS;
7° Four personalities representing the economic, cultural world TGIR, or competitiveness clusters.
The members' council brings together the members of the COMUE and, in an expanded training that, in particular, carries the IDEX project, all the partners. In addition, the Council of Members may invite the COMUE component directors. In accordance with the law, the Council of Members is associated with the preparation of the work and the implementation of the decisions of the Board of Directors and the Academic Council. It is consulted by the Board of Directors prior to the definition of the shared project, the signing of the common part of the multi-year contract and the adoption of the budget of the community of universities and institutions.
The academic council consists of one hundred and seven members:
1° Fourteen representatives of member and associated institutions and organizations strengthened (one for higher education institutions, three for CNRS, two for INRIA and ECA to take into account staff outside shared research structures);
2° Seven COMUE component directors;
3° Ten qualified personalities, including a representative of the region;
4° Sixty-six elected by direct suffrage representing the staff and users.
In order to establish a link and coherence between the academic councils of the member institutions or associates with a strengthened convention and the academic council of the COMUE, on the one hand, and in order to foresee, for each institution with an academic council, a share of representatives per institution, on the other hand, the election of the members of the COMUE academic council is coupled with that of the academic councils, or equivalent councils, of the member institutions and associated with a convention of association. The staff of the research organizations are registered on the electoral lists of the higher education institutions or in partnership.
Operational governance is ensured by an office composed of the COMUE management team and representatives of the COMUE member institutions and organizations, as well as representatives of the associated institutions or organizations each time the topics are addressed (associated higher education for training, research and academic life issues, associates and higher education for research issues).
II. - Research areas
The Grenoble Academy is a multidisciplinary academic site whose potential and quality are proven. It brings together the research forces of higher education institutions and research organizations in addition to major international instruments (ESRF, EMBL, ILL). The COMUE's ambition is to be a strategy for research, interdisciplinary fertilization, coordination of the implementation of this research, and this for all actors. It must also participate in its transfer to the socio-economic world and strengthen the link between training and research of all member institutions.
To this end, the COMUE relies on research poles, which are non-corporate components of the community, structured based on disciplinary considerations and scientific approaches. A research centre is a grouping of research units and structures within close disciplines and cultures, with similar objects and/or research methods. Without prejudging final names, on the date of writing of this document, the six poles, by large disciplinary division, are:
1° Legal, political and economic sciences, sociology and management;
2° Arts, literature, languages, human sciences, cognitive and social sciences;
3° Mathematics, science and information and communication technologies;
4° Chemistry, life sciences, biology, health;
5° Particle physics, astrophysics, geosciences, environment;
6° Physics, engineering, materials.
II-1. Objectives of the poles
These six research hubs have as their mission to support and develop excellence in all disciplines, both in fundamental research and in applied research, to promote multidisciplinarity and to support the collaborations of teams from different poles. The poles will also need to work together to tackle large-scale cross-cutting projects.
The majority of COMUE research structures are shared between higher education institutions and one or more national institutions. The cluster will be the place for the development of a shared research policy among all stakeholders of the UGA, taking into account the policy of each member and partner, especially for organizations that will decline their national policy on the site. The cluster will promote the strengthening of structural linkages between these institutions and organizations.
II-2. Poles missions
The poles will have for missions:
1° Contribution to the development and implementation of research strategies;
2° The distribution of specific financial and human resources entrusted to them by the COMEU and its members and associates, including through the launching of incentive projects calls;
3° The formulation to members and associates of proposals for allocation of staffing to laboratories;
4° The formulation of prospective schools and proposals for profiles of teacher-researchers positions, in consultation with the training components;
5° The development of prospectives on the needs of BIATSS personal laboratories;
6° Participation in the establishment of selection committees created by member higher education institutions in connection with the training components;
7° The discussion with the member and associated organizations of the columns on the site;
8° The proposal for pre-adjudications to institutions concerning mobility (CRCT, delegation...) of teachers-researchers and the reception of guest professors, in association with the training components;
9° The search for clean means;
10° Participation in promoting the research potential of the site and relations with industrialists and political, cultural and economic actors.
The linking of staff (EC, C and BIATSS) to the poles is not envisaged.
Particular attention will be paid to:
1° The articulation of the work of the poles with the prerogatives of the academic councils and boards of the community and of the member or associate institutions as well as with the bodies of the organizations: the poles contribute to the development of the research policy in a given field and to the implementation thereof, the COMUE and its councils develop the overall strategy, the boards of directors and academic councils of the members and associates are the force of proposal regarding the COMlib
2° The articulation between research and training: the preconizations that the centres will make to institutions regarding the research profile of teacher-researchers positions, or the reception of guest professors, will need to be done in a dialogue with the components of schools, UFRs, university institutes of technology, following a process established by the institution. The poles will have to contribute to the cross between research and training, especially for the implementation of interdisciplinarity.
II-3. Governance of poles
Governance must meet the following objectives:
1° Allow poles to play their full role in the COMUE research strategy;
2° Provide the means of their co-pilot by members and associates of the COMUE;
3° Establish a body of debate and representative decision of staff;
4° Ensure close contact with laboratory managers and involve them in the definition and implementation of the research strategy;
5° Ensure the interaction between laboratories and training units (training and research units/schools/university institutes of technology) by involving the directors of these components in the life of the poles.
These objectives can be achieved through governance that includes:
1° Direction dupole :
(a) A Director/Director/Deputy Directors, if necessary;
(b) Designation of the Director/Director: proposed by the pole bodies and subject to the validation of the Board of members of the COMUE;
2° Strategic Orientation Committee:
(a) Institutional representatives of the members and associates of the COMEU;
(b) Direction of the pole;
3° Pole Council: representatives:
(a) Personnel and communities;
(b) From the social and economic world;
(c) Chaired by the Director/Director of the pole;
4° Committee of Directors:
(a) The direction of the pole;
(b) Managers of the pole laboratories;
(c) The directors/principles of training and research units, school and university institutes of technology are associated with the pole for questions concerning the training-research link.
This diagram can be adjusted according to the size and disciplinary fields of the pole.
III. - Training and student life
The attractiveness of a university site is largely linked to the quality of its training offer and the environment it offers to students. The creation of a new multi-disciplinary university by merging the three universities on the Grenoble site and the creation of the Grenoble Alpes university can be the occasion of a breakthrough innovation with a strong ambition in terms of training, academic life and student success. They must also be an opportunity to enrich and make more visible the training offer of the new University of Grenoble and of all the members and associates of the University Grenoble Alpes, as well as to strengthen the quality of professional integration, especially by building closer links with the territory, the socio-economic and cultural world. It is to these objectives that the strategy for the formation of the community of universities and institutions, as well as that of each of the higher education and research institutions, constitute it (members and associates). It is based on the diversity and quality of the courses at Grenoble Alpes University. It aims to strengthen its coherence and visibility, encourages inter, plurality and transdisciplinarity, relies on pedagogical innovation, notably by the development of new pedagogies using all the tools of digital, develops the offer for various audiences, aims to increase the offer of training in alternation, is concerned with the richness of the research environment for the development of high-quality trainings and is committed to strengthening the national capacity.
Thus, in terms of education and student life, the ambition of the community is based on three objectives:
1° Implementing and displaying a rich, attractive and sustainable training offer that allows the construction of diversified routes within each disciplinary field of the site and fully integrates the dimension of professional integration as well as the coherence, complementarity and visibility of the entire training offer on the site;
2° Elaboration of an ambitious policy on public diversity, which aims to develop lifelong training and alternation. Special attention will be paid to specific audiences and to the development of international partnerships to increase incoming and outgoing mobility of students and staff;
3° Creation of a quality environment in terms of training, academic education and student life based on innovative devices for the orientation, support, success and professional integration of students: follow-up to the personal and professional project, fight against failure and stall, offer and access to the fields of excellence, pre-professionalization, concerted development of French language training and by
The founding principles of the policy that will be implemented by 2016 are:
First principle "Coordination of the training offer": coordination in the development of the initial training offer and throughout life to maintain its coherence; setting up spaces to enhance the complementarity of existing formations, while preserving their specificities
Second principle "Consolidation of transdisciplinarity": the emergence of new original and transdisciplinary degrees favored by the delinquency of communities within the framework of site policy and, more generally, the mix of student audiences around educational initiatives integrating multidisciplinarity. These diplomas will remain issued by COMUE member institutions alone or in co-accreditation
Third principle "Common display of the training offer": common display of the training offer in the form of a shared training catalogue, using a unique tool to increase the national and international attractiveness of the site.
Fourth principle: Diplomacy and co-accreditation: diplomation by member institutions of or associated with the community, with the exception of the doctorate delivered by the community itself. Co-accreditation between member institutions and associated with the community of part of the Master's mentions.
Fifth principle "Student management": organization of schooling and management of the student maintained within the training component of an institution, whether it is a UFR, an institute, a school.
Sixth principle "Organization of transverse activities": transverse activities of training and student life (e.g. sport, languages, aid in insertion, documentation, disability, culture, student life, scientific and technical culture, health center, reception and housing, restoration, educational platforms...) will be organized and their coordinated management according to the needs and wills expressed by each institution, harmonizing the services offered to the students of the site
Seventh Principle "Facilitating Educational Innovation and Digital Transformation": The community is convinced of the need to rethink our way of teaching and training. New methods for developing content and learning methods will be implemented (training action of teachers, educational spaces for multidisciplinary projects carried by students, etc.). A labelling of innovative projects in this direction will be promoted, allowing a wide visibility to all the educational transformation initiatives of the site, including lifelong training.
Eighth principle "Develop the training-research link and the coherence of the training offer": the link between training and research is essential. The community reaffirms from this point of view its commitment to cover the training fields with the double logic of a training offer that covers all major disciplinary fields and a training that is based, whenever possible, on the excellence of research. In this sense, she wishes to maintain and support a training offer in all disciplinary fields, with the ambition of a strong attractiveness obtained by the joint quality of research and training.
On the basis of this road map, working groups, led by the political teams, will have to be tasked with formulating proposals by the end of 2015 in terms of start-up and evolution prospects.
Develop the student life and attractiveness of the COMUE campuses:
The objective is that the Grenoble Alpes university is recognized for its very attractive living and working conditions and the standard of the best universities on each of its campuses. The grenobloise university community has long developed many activities in the field of student life, most often being a pioneer at the national level. The aim is to develop the cultural practices of students in close liaison with cultural facilities and to promote the inclusion of these practices in university curricula in the same way that sport remains fully relevant.
If the Grenoble Alpes university site enjoys a reputation for quality of life, which contributes to its attractiveness, the development of the different dimensions of student life is a major objective of the site. A humanist approach of the university, placing women and men at the heart of its development, is essential to carry an ambitious project of student life. Within this framework, five major objectives deserve to be pursued:
1° Facilitate the integration of the student into the university and the city by accompanying the students in their approaches to the installation and appropriation of the campus and the city. It will be necessary to facilitate accessibility of students with disabilities and to promote access to housing for all;
2° Provide the student with a quality living environment and proximity services. Upgrading of services to university students will continue. In this sense, the COMUE will work towards the promotion by students themselves of the uses of a modern campus and the implementation of living and learning conditions at the standards of an international campus;
3° Contribute to the personal development of the student, through the development of sports and cultural practices, key factors for integration within the university. Constituent elements of the student's "knowledge-being", sports practices will be strengthened and encouraged, with the aim of improving health and promoting socialization. Cultural practices will continue to be developed and supported, allowing students to find their place of actors, mediators and spectators and to develop their creativity. The strong cultural dynamics of the site will be based on the cultural facilities already present on the site and those soon to be built and will be part of the strengthened relations with the city and its cultural institutions. Practices shared with students with disabilities will continue to be encouraged;
4° To comfort the student in his role as a citizen by encouraging, in particular, the participation of the student in all areas of civic and solidarity life. The focus will be on the development of initiatives, innovative and creative capacities, including the creation of companies;
5° The Grenoble Alpes University will develop its attractiveness by specifically welcoming special talents, athletes and high-level artists, students with disabilities, who will benefit from individualised support.
IV. - Social policy
The project of the Grenoble Alpes University and its members can only be realized with the active participation of the staff, who must have favourable working conditions for their investment and development. Some points of this social policy are part of a valid convergence objective for the staff of all the higher education institutions of the COMUE, as well as of the COMUE itself, under the responsibility of the employers institutions, others are more specifically concerned with the staff of the grenobloises universities engaging in the fusion process, even if they can also serve as targets for convergence with other institutions.
As a result of desirable convergence among all institutions, the following objectives are:
1° Maintaining and bringing about social dialogue, which must contribute to a renewed commitment of all staff, by regulatory bodies as well as by less formal dialogue meetings of the kind of "social conference" or such that inter-CT working groups were able to prefigure them in 2013. With regard to the merger of universities, it will be regularly reported in the next two years before the bodies (technical committee and board of directors) of the three institutions concerned about the progress of the process initiated by a policy vote in the spring of 2014 and which will end, in the first half of 2016, by a vote acting, according to the current schedule, the disappearance of existing universities and the creation of a new university;
2° Combat any form of direct or indirect discrimination and promote professional equity. Fair treatment between women and men is an essential focus: the commitment to gender parity in commissions, judges, representations in all forums, leadership and accountability positions will be reaffirmed and its intensified implementation. Transparency in human resources management procedures in all stages of the university's career will also be a priority;
3° Strengthen a policy of welcoming and inserting staff with disabilities. This is to enable the implementation of an exemplary multi-year framework allowing the University of Grenoble Alpes to be innovative on the reception and maintenance arrangements in the employment of staff with disabilities, regardless of their status;
4° Increasing the support of the professional career paths of agents, especially by posting any job vacancies, with the aim of allowing everyone to continue their career path in connection with their aspirations and personal constraints. Mobility accompaniment will be developed when necessary, both during the preparation phase and during the realization, ensuring that precariousness is reduced;
5° Develop a proactive personnel training policy to enable adaptation to a new function, to accompany mobility, changes in trades and functions and individual and collective development projects;
6° Promoting health and quality of life at work: adapting the professional environment to the needs of staff, promoting exchanges on the organization of work and professional practices and addressing risk prevention;
7° Consolidate a social action offer for staff taking into account the diversity of situations and realities of the contemporary context. To this end, institutions and organizations rely, among other things, on CAESUG, which is responsible for the organization of cultural, sports and leisure activities;
8° Building a renewed social assessment for the Grenoble Alpes University, which reflects both the personal situation and the effects of the policies implemented. This work, begun in 2013, will show its first impact in 2014 with a harmonized presentation for all academic institutions, and then in 2015 with a stronger integration of data and indicators.
More specifically with the staff of the three universities choosing to merge:
1° Harmonize the personal compensation scheme. In particular, with respect to BIATSS staff, the three universities are committed to ensuring that the compensation regime is globally aligned with the best-in-class, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This is the occasion of a review and a flat-up that has begun and should allow for more readability regarding the architecture of bonuses and the transparency of their attribution modalities;
2° Harmonize the conditions of recourse to contractual personnel and their terms of management on the basis of framework agreements, in accordance with legal possibilities. Continue the competition opening policies for any vacant position not filled by mobility and optimization of reserved competition opportunities. A device that secures career prospects will be developed; special attention will be paid to the accompanying devices of contract staff, in particular to provide individual support. The merger of the three universities in Greece is not intended to result in a reduction in the jobs available to them;
3° Harmonize working hours. This harmonization, already in part effective in research laboratories, will be extended to all staff and prepared in consultation with staff in 2014.
The construction of a new institution will result in reorganizations, mainly within the central and common services of the institutions, which will need to be integrated to provide efficient and renewed support to the training and research missions. Only a part of the staff, and gradually depending on the services, will be affected by a reorganization of their activities. These changes will be analyzed, prepared and anticipated as much as possible to enable each one to position themselves as closely as possible in the new organization of the central services of the merged university and the structuring of the Grenoble Alpes university. Particular attention will be given to the information of all and to the support of each person to share the meaning of the construction of the Grenoble Alpes university and help the staff to be in the new structure. It was agreed that there will be no geographical mobility related to the merger for the staff of the central services of the three merging universities, the headquarters of the central services of the three universities located all three in the centre of the East campus and close to each other.
All these axes will have to allow the sharing of meaning, the coherence of organizations and the renewed commitment of each one, not only necessary for the construction of the University of Grenoble and the COMUE "University Grenoble Alpes", but also indispensable for its dynamism and ambitions.
