Annex
Preamble
Paris Lumières University is a community of universities and institutions that participates in the coordination of the activities of the public service of higher education, scientific research, professional integration, innovation, dissemination of culture and scientific and technical information in Ile-de-France. In collaboration with many institutions with which association agreements will be concluded, its members, rich in their own identity, strong in their legal autonomy and territorial anchorage, have the ambition to build together an international academic grouping integrated in its socio-economic environment.
Thanks to the proven experience of its members in the field of interdisciplinary research and innovative training, the Université Paris Lumières intends to build, in close cooperation with its associates, a first-rate network focused on the social and social sciences without excluding the field of science and technology. It is committed to coordinating and enhancing its teaching and research activities, focusing on the following areas:
1° Societies of tomorrow: sustainable development, social innovations, human emancipation;
2nd Rights: justice and injustice;
3° Creation from yesterday to tomorrow: arts, heritage, culture, humanity.
All of these priorities give a strong focus on accessibility issues (care, "well-being", justice, employment, places and knowledge), social integration and discrimination, "minorities" in general and related to gender in particular.
Thanks to a synergy of the means and skills of its members, and with the support of its associates, the Université Paris Lumières aims to increase their national and international outreach, while positioning itself as a major player in higher education and research.
