Focus — Vice-Presidency for International Relations & Innovation

since 2023 International Relations (February 2023) — extended to Innovation and strategic partnerships (October 2024)

I have structured the international action of UEPS around a logic of institutional transformation: strengthening the academic quality of programmes, increasing the attractiveness of the institution and consolidating the link between education, research and innovation, in line with the Paris-Saclay dynamics. On the Innovation side, the vision is that of a transformative university, able to support students, doctoral candidates and young researchers from ideation to incubation or transfer.
