As such, the doctoral studies department, the "health and society" pole and the "city, environment and their engineering" pole are respectively organized within coordination structures.
Each coordination structure is the main task of proposing a strategy in its area of competence and coordinating its implementation by the community of universities and institutions and by each member and associate of the community.
Paris-Est University puts in place any coordination structure that it deems useful in carrying out its missions, after favourable advice from the board of members rendered by a two-thirds majority and vote of the board of directors by an absolute majority of the members present or represented.
Each coordination structure is administered by a board and is moderated by a director under the conditions prescribed by the establishment's rules of procedure. The composition of the executive and the advice of these coordinating structures is defined by the rules of procedure of the Université Paris-Est.
The piloting of each coordination structure involves the members involved in the area of competence in question and the institutions associated according to the provisions of the previously concluded association agreements. Similarly, the representation of PhD students will be ensured in the co-ordinating structure for doctoral studies.
