Annex
STATUS OF THE PUBLIC PACKING WITH SCIENTIFIC CHARACTER "UNIVERSITY PARIS-SEINE"
Preamble
The community of universities and institutions (COMUE) "Paris-Seine University" brings together higher education and research institutions located in a strategic territory. At the same time, part of the Paris metropolis and entrance door to the Seine valley that connects Paris to Le Havre, it intends to participate in the structuring of its territory and its national and international radiance.
The Seine-West axis represents a major challenge to land use. The Seine River is the maritime extension of the capital and a strong identity factor that responds to the concentric development of Paris. Its demographic and economic weight makes it an essential factor: fifteen million inhabitants, one third of the national gross domestic product, more than 25% of jobs and businesses in France and 20% of French industrial employment. Seine Gateway continues to aim to connect Paris to the spaces in which global flows flow and to make its river and maritime façade a high-level territory of services, composed of a efficient port and logistics system, a renewed industry and a large basin of consumption. If the Roissy Airport - Charles-de-Gaulle, the second European airport that hosts fifty-eight million passengers each year, there is a real mobility hub for economic and urban change.
On its territory of close proximity constituting a line of union between the Grand Paris and the Seine valley, the COMUE Université Paris-Seine has this singularity of belonging to the metropolis of the Grand Paris while offering the Parisian capital a maritime opening and, therefore, international. It covers 3,534 km2 and has two and a half million inhabitants, almost one third of whom is less than twenty years old. It brings together the departments of Val-d'Oise and the Yvelines and contributes greatly to the Seine-aval national interest operation and the regional development contract of the Seine-Oise confluence. The innovative capacity of this territory, enhanced by eleven competitiveness clusters, a technology transfer acceleration company and many incubators and nurseries, makes it a representative place of experimentation of an ideal national territory and a land of creativity favourable to the growth of most carrier markets.
The COMUE simultaneously confirms its anchorage in the territory of Cergy-Pontoise's agglomeration community and its living interconnection with its proximity territory, becoming a " hub" of transdisciplinary hybridization (human and social sciences, management, art creation and culture, engineering, etc.), at the service of educational innovation, research of excellence and animation of innovative training programs.
In this environment conducive to transformative actions, COMUE Université Paris-Seine contributes to the deregulation of the Paris metropolis and allows it to participate more in the major economic and innovative flows. Gathering institutions of higher education and research under various statutes, ministry and governance, it aims to enroll its members at the heart of the societal issues that cross the contemporary world and to bring a new academic model dedicated to innovation, corporate spirit and creativity.
1° Innovation:
In many respects, the territory of COMUE Université Paris-Seine is an election site for innovative initiatives. The Seine-Metropole port, first of all, is a project of common interest that will allow the realization of a multimodal port platform, will host logistics centers and will house activities of buildings and public works. The territory also benefits from the contribution of highly efficient and innovative competitiveness clusters: Cap Digital, Advancity, Astech, Medicen Paris Region, Finance Innovation, Mov'eo and Sytem@tic. Finally, the choice was made of a positioning of the research and development function at the nearest to the production sites. As such, the Seine-aval conducts numerous experiments in areas that resonate with the development challenges of Paris-Seine Normandie.
Extending the actions of its territory, COMUE Université Paris-Seine repudiates innovation. Whether intellectual or technological, innovation begins with a critical distance that stimulates imagination and allows itself to break down and reverse perspective. The COMUE is thus a field of experimentation conducive to the incubation of a reimagined society.
As such, the COMUE Université Paris-Seine reinvents the city of tomorrow by participating in the energy efficiency platform Seinergy Lab, located in the Mureaux, being a partner of the Solar decadethlon, which designs real-sized housing using the sun as the only source of energy, participating in the international workshops of urban mastery of work in Cergy-Pontoise and being recognized by the University of the United Nations as the first-of-South development.
As a result, the COMUE offers a new pedagogy thanks to selective courses that prepare diverse and renewed elites to major social issues. Bachelors in engineering (cursus master in engineering) and management are thus set up. As for research and entrepreneurship, they are integrated into the entire curriculum. This new pedagogy relies on the work of several educational laboratories and platforms, places the student at the heart of the device and makes him an actor of his course thanks to a cognitive card he draws himself. Finally, the COMUE makes the reorientation of student stalls and the diversification of the public a major objective.
2° Corporate spirit:
The territory of COMUE Paris-Seine University is particularly conducive to the entrepreneurial spirit and is a true lever of competitiveness. It includes large economic poles such as those of Roissy, Cergy-Pontoise, Gennevilliers, Argenteuil, Mantes and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and a strong mesh of nurseries and business hotels. Its favourite areas are mobility, automotive, aerospace, sustainable development, digital technologies, cosmetics, health, biotechnology, defence, logistics and business services.
The first research hub of Val-d'Oise, Cergy-Pontoise's agglomeration welcomes research and development activities in innovative large groups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), about forty academic laboratories and research chairs, clusters of competitiveness related to key sectors such as digital technologies, ecomobility, onboard intelligence, cosmetics, and cosmetics. As for the Seine-aval, it enjoys a well-known know-how in aeronautics and avionics and displays a strong specialization in eco-+industry thanks to the Fabrique 21, hotel and nursery of companies related to eco-construction, the energy efficiency platform of the Mureaux, to a hub of companies specialized in water development and waste treatment (presence of Veolia and Suez)
It is in this context favorable to the reinvention of a business spirit that COMUE Université Paris-Seine promotes risk taking, bets on the future and the renewed understanding of a decent world. Disabling disciplines, skill crossings, mobility of talent and access to collective intelligence are the key to this "take" that needs to be re-appropriated without formatting or preconceived idea.
To do this, it finds support on the ESSEC Ventures network, the Incubator Antropia, the territorial incubator of Neuvitec, a departmental network of business nurseries, a student hub for innovation, transfer and entrepreneurship (PEPITE) created in partnership with COMUE Normandie University and Accet Val-d'Oise Technopole. It also benefits from the services of the Francilian Technology Transfer Acceleration (SATT) company "Ile-de-France Innov" and will join in tomorrow at the heart of an ecocity of innovation and entrepreneurship that declines the entire value chain of entrepreneurship and innovation.
3° Creativity:
Whether it is the architects and landscapers of Louis XIV, former residences of kings of France or the impressionists of the end of the 21st century, the COMUE Université Paris-Seine is part of a territory that has experienced several artistic revolutions and is now a very important legacy.
The Palace of Versailles is home to more than ten million visitors each year, and Saint-Germain-en-Laye now houses the National Archaeology Museum. In contemporary art, the abbey of Maubuisson de Saint-Ouen-l'Aumône invites creators to connect with the spirit of the place and the marechalerie of the Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Versailles organizes prestigious exhibitions. As for digital art, it is particularly present at the Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise, which offers a multimedia and interactive journey, and at the centre of the arts of Enghien-les-Bains which has become an essential hub of digital expertise and experimentation.
In this environment that is so conducive to it, the COMUE Université Paris-Seine places creativity at the heart of its activities and makes it irrigate all its fields of competence and action. A contraction of creation and inventiveness, it allows a new understanding and an unprecedented apprehension of all social issues. In this regard, the presence of the superior national arts schools of Paris-Cergy, the architecture of Versailles and the landscape of Versailles-Marseille within the COMUE reinforces its legitimacy to defend and favour a creative approach.
Also the COMUE Paris-Seine University carries several flagship actions. On the one hand, modelling and designing the territory by using animation in three dimensions, relying on the LabEx patrima and building a living and moving laboratory that runs through the Seine and participates in its transformation into " Seine 3.0". On the other hand, confronting cultures by hosting an institute of creation and several "fablab" thematized.
With this threefold innovative, entrepreneurial and creative ambition, COMUE Université Paris-Seine creates an international campus of a new era that allows its community to live in an intellectual city where academic and economic actors rich in their diversity interact and interact. A true receptacle and demonstrator of the state of mind it promotes, this campus promotes networking, cross-breeding and openness of knowledge. A place of exchange and innovation, a real dating factory, it consists of architectural and cultural objects open to the city and to all public.
Whether through this international campus or through all the projects that decline the triptych of innovation/business/creativity, the Université Paris-Seine is the indispensable instrument of rebalancing the territory of France, alongside the major academic hubs that are notably the Condorcet, Paris-Est and Paris-Saclay campuses, competing with the best Paris-based campuses and Paris-Saclay campuses.
To this end, the Université Paris-Seine has at least two collaborative tools:
1° Academic networks:
First, it does not hesitate to work in a network with other groups or institutions that share its innovative, entrepreneurial and creative foundations.
It thus creates privileged relations with the COMUE Sorbonne Paris Cité en matière de valor de la recherche et de transfert de technologie (SATT Ile-de-France Innov) and with the COMUE Normandie Université en matière d'entrepreneuriat (PEPITE).
As a result of the same constructive and disappointing state of mind, some of its members also have bilateral ties with other institutions belonging to other groups. Thus, it is the ESSEC that develops innovative initiatives with the Central School - double degree, mastère specialized in entrepreneurship, joint research - or the UCPC that, because it houses the Graduate School of Faculty and Education (ESPE) of the Versailles Academy, places the questions of learning and education at the heart of its relations with the other universities of the Versailles Academy.
Finally, the LabEx patrima (dedicated to the conservation and restoration of heritage) and the LabEx MME-DII (dedicated to the mathematical and economic models of dynamics, uncertainty and interactions) allow the University of Cergy-pontoise, the Ecole Supérieure des Sciences économiques et commerciales, the Ecole nationale supérieure d'architecture de Versailles, the Ecole nationale supérieure d'art
2° Partners and partners:
Secondly, the Université Paris-Seine enjoys important partners and partners who, because of their territorial, entrepreneurial, cultural and/or scientific proximity to COMUE members, share the same ambition and carry with it large-scale actions.
The partners of the COMUE Université Paris-Seine are the following institutions:
1° The International Institute of Image & Son (3IS) ;
2° The Institut français des sciences et technologies des transports, de l' aménagement et des réseaus.
The COMUE Paris-Seine University also has partners who, like it, wish to participate in the structuring and dynamism of the Paris Grand West and the Seine Valley. As such, they undertake to become a member of the Steering Committees of one or more of the COMUE projects and to bring their expertise to them.
