This decision underlines the relevance of the creation of our institution, which unites the triptych of university, research organisation and schools in a unique way in France. It also acknowledges the results of the actions carried out on the theme of the cities and territories of tomorrow, which must be frugal, resilient, attractive and liveable. This confirmation also opens up new perspectives for the years to come.
