Annex
STATUS OF THE PUBLIC APPROACH TO SCIENTIFIC, CULTURAL AND PROFESSIONAL CHARACTERIAL "UNIVERSITY CONFÉDÉRALE LÉONARD DE VINCI"
Preamble
Higher education and research institutions and research institutions in the Central, Limousin and Poitou-Charentes regions have decided to establish a community of inter-academic universities and institutions (COMUE) pursuant to the provisions of the Act of 22 July 2013 on higher education and research. This COMUE takes the name of "Confederal University Leonardo da Vinci".
The confederal university Leonardo da Vinci is carrying on a project shared by all the institutions that compose it. The aim shared by the institutions is to create in the national landscape a large university in a network of European dimension and international visibility thanks to its potential for research and higher education. By its size and geographic scope, this grouping is thus a powerful lever of international positioning and territorial structuring. Also, the confederal university Leonardo da Vinci will carry strategic site contracts. The project of the confederal university Leonardo da Vinci in the proposed configuration presents great intrinsic coherence and draws its relevance and strength from the originality of its organizational model in a network of balanced sites.
In this context, the confederal university Leonardo da Vinci allows its members to strengthen their competitiveness by defining a common strategy that concerns all areas of activity of the institutions. They will thus collectively be able not only to position themselves as the key interlocutor of public authorities at the national and regional levels, but also to increase their European and international visibility. The confederal university Leonardo da Vinci is a confederal university, around a shared project, operating in a network according to the principle of ascending subsidiarity (do together what it is not possible to do alone). In addition to the work of consultation of its members, the coordination of their strategies and the pooling of their activities, the confederal university Léonard de Vinci will set up new tools, which will fall within its own competence, to drive and integrate the priority axes of the joint global strategy.
These statutes are supplemented by rules of procedure and by a social annex.
Article 1
Legal nature
The community of universities and establishments referred to as "Tedral University Leonardo da Vinci" is a public institution with a scientific, cultural and professional character under the supervision ofArticle L. 711-2 of the Education Code.
Article 2

The head office is fixed by a statutory deliberation of the Board of Directors of the COMUE.
Article 3
Composition of the grouping
Article 3.1

The partners are public institutions that are committed to the COMUE project, but support only part of this project, depending on their skills or resources.
A special convention links the COMUE to partners and partners. This agreement must determine the objectives of the partnership or association related to the shared project. It should specify the support provided by these institutions to the objectives and missions of the COMUE and, for the partners, their participation in the COMUE governance bodies.
The list of partners and partners, on the date of the creation of the COMEU, is specified in the annex.
Article 3.2
