The university signs its contracts with the MESR and the MTECT

On Monday 19 February, Gilles Roussel, President of Gustave Eiffel University, officially signed the Contract of Objectives, Resources and Performance (COMP) with Sylvie Retailleau, Minister for Higher Education and Research, and the Contract of Objectives and Performance (COP) with Christophe Béchu, Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion.

The Contract of Objectives, Resources and Performance (COMP)

 

The Université Gustave Eiffel was one of the first wave of 34 institutions to experiment with the Contract of Objectives, Resources and Performance (COMP) announced on 17 March 2023 by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. This contract between the State and the university provides additional funding over a three-year period (2023-2025), based on the institution's commitments to four major objectives of national policy for higher education and research:

  • training students and adults in the professions of the future or those in short supply, as part of the process of adapting training to the needs of society ;
  • student success and well-being (health, diversity, inclusion, etc.);
  • excellence in research and innovation;
  • ecological transition and sustainable development, whether in terms of training for students, teachers and staff, research or management.

 

The Contract of Objectives and Performance (COP)

The Contract of Objectives and Performance is signed with the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion for the period from 2023 to 2025. The COP defines the guidelines shared by Gustave Eiffel University and the MTECT for tackling the ecological and energy transition of sustainable towns and territories.

It defines 4 major objectives:

The first three refer to the issues that the institution's missions must address and that are linked to the axes of the FUTURE I-Site project, accredited in 2017 and confirmed in 2022, on the cities of tomorrow:

  • sobriety and frugality ;
  • justice and equity
  • security and resilience.

The last objective aims to mobilise all the university's levers for action across the board, from research to innovation, expertise and support for public policies, via training and territorial and international cooperation, to move towards the ecological and energy transition in cities and regions.
