Eight universities obtained the “Science with and for society” label, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation.
A new distinction for Grenoble Alpes University, who will obtain an endowment of 442,000 euros per year for the next three years. This will allow the launch of three new projects:
- The creation of an observatory of scientific culture, to better identify the actions carried out and produce indicators for evaluating scientific culture;
- The creation of a Science and Society chair to better support the actions of CCSTIs on a scientific and reflective level, to increase and publicize research on the dissemination of knowledge;
- The launch in 2023 of a knowledge biennial to promote the work of researchers and disseminate science to audiences more distant from scientific culture.
2.6 million distributed to 8 universities
“More than ever, the science and society mission of universities, to share the knowledge produced by research with as many people as possible and bring science and citizens together, is becoming central because it makes it possible to support the changes and globalized crises that we are going through”, commented the Vice-President of the University, Marie-Christine Bordeaux.
The label will distribute a total envelope of 2.6 million to selected universities. They were laureates thanks to several criteria, in particular their partnerships with local players, the diversity of their actions, or the structural work already carried out.
Here are the selected universities: Clermont Auvergne University (Puy-de-Dôme), Grenoble Alpes University, PSL (Paris), University of Limoges (Haute-Vienne), Sorbonne University (Paris), University of Paris Saclay, University of Caen – Le Dôme (Calvados) and University of Poitiers (Vienne).
