Strategic Advisory Board
The Strategic Advisory Board of Université Paris Cité is a forum for exchange and definition of the strategic choices of the institution. It brings together varied international expertise of the highest level. Its 12 members are responsible for evaluating and identifying the institution’s research and teaching activities as well as its international development and partnership strategy.
Missions
In accordance with the statutes of Université Paris Cité, the ambition of the Strategic Advisory Board is to accompany the governing bodies by providing advice in order to achieve its objectives namely :
- to establish itself as a leading international research-intensive university, covering the fields of exact sciences, life sciences and human and social sciences
- to participate in solving major societal challenges through high-quality research and teaching
- to contribute to innovation, offer students a new and diversified range of courses
- to promote the dialogue between science and society
The Strategic Advisory Board will also evaluate the insitution’s international strategy.
Its two main missions are therefore to evaluate and advise Université Paris Cité with the objective to follow its development trajectory.
Composition
The composition of the Strategic Advisory Board is entirely external, international and diverse. The members have been chosen based on either their direct experience of managing universities, firms and large academic projects, or their involvement as important stakeholders, or their expertise of key strategic issues.
