Aix-Marseille University
The largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, Aix-Marseille University (AMU) welcomes 80,000 students and nearly 8,000 staff on 5 large campuses of international standards. Owning 90% of its assets, the university is present in 9 cities in 4 departments of the Southern Region.
Its A*Midex University Foundation, which carries the IDEX on a long-term basis, contributes to the development of a world-class interdisciplinary higher education and research centre. Known as an “intensive research university”, it is home to 122 research structures linked to major national research organisations.
Created on 1 January 2012, Aix-Marseille University (AMU) can legitimately consider, at the end of an initial period 2012-2017 largely devoted to the structuring of the single university, that it has taken up the major challenge it had set itself: to successfully merge the three universities in the area and give birth to a large world-class university.
AMU is thus an intensive research university, which has forged partnerships all over the world, which has affirmed its territorial anchorage and integration and which ranks among the very first French universities in the Shanghai ranking. AMU is a multidisciplinary university structured around five disciplinary sectors divided into 18 components (faculties, schools, institutes) and one multidisciplinary sector (including ESPE and IUT) :
- Arts, Letters, Languages and Human Sciences
- Law and Political Science
- Economics and Management
- Health
- Science and Technology
It is present in four departments and nine cities. It has a real estate portfolio spread over 58 sites representing more than 830,000 m². AMU was a winner of the Campus Operation, which, in conjunction with the CPER (State-Regional Plan Contract), enables it to rehabilitate and modernise its campuses in order to aim for the best international standards. AMU is now a recognised and identified partner, which has been able to impose its identity and assert itself as a key player in its region, in whose development and influence it plays an active role.
From 2012, AMU has developed and structured a streamlined and clear training offer. From 2012, AMU has developed and structured a streamlined and clear training offer. This work has been deepened within the framework of the master plan for the training offer that it developed in 2016 and 2017, the result of internal consultation but also of exchanges with socio-economic partners and communities. In terms of research and innovation, AMU has developed a strategy co-constructed at the site level in conjunction with the main research organisations (CNRS, Inserm, IRD, CEA, etc.) and structured around its numerous research units and federations and its five intersectoral and interdisciplinary research centres (PR2I):
- Energy
- Environment
- Humanities
- Health & Life Sciences
- Advanced Science & Technology
The excellence of the site’s research has been recognised in particular by its success in several national (labex, equipex, Instituts convergences, RHU, EUR…) or European calls for projects of the H2020 type (AMU is thus the third French institution raising funds under this programme). The labeling of the A*Midex project, carried by Aix-Marseille University and its partners (AMU, CNRS, Inserm, IRD, CEA, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille, Institut d’Etudes Politiques d’Aix-en-Provence and Ecole Central de Marseille), has also had a tremendous structuring and stimulating effect on the institution. It has created a real dynamic around the five priority themes and the strategic objectives identified from 2012:
- Excellence in training and research
- Partnerships with the socio-economic world
- Internationalization of the site’s areas of excellence
- Ambitious human resources policy
- Attractiveness of the site
A*Midex thus functions as an accelerator, through calls for projects or proactive actions, so that Aix-Marseille University and its partners can quickly achieve their ambitions. The perpetuation of A*Midex in 2016 reflects both the recognition of the work accomplished by AMU and the opportunity to have a formidable tool to support the university’s strategy.
At the end of a period that has seen the energies of our entire university community mobilised to build a new institution, it is on the strength of this collective dynamic that AMU is now projecting itself into its future by carrying out a project that is both ambitious and unifying for the period 2018-2022. Thus, while the first five-year contract for 2012-2017 was naturally aimed at installing and structuring the merged university. The 2018-2022 contract will be placed under the triple seal of innovation for all of the university’s fields of activity, strengthening the link between training and research and the quality approach as the guiding threads to always aim for excellence, notably with the support of A*Midex.

Collège de France
Collège de France is a public higher education and research institution, which is unique in France and has no equivalent abroad. Since the 16th century, Collège de France has had a two-fold mission: to be a forum for cutting-edge research and teaching.
Collège de France is committed to fundamental research, in partnership with the CNRS, INSERM and several other major institutions, but what differentiates it is that it teaches “knowledge in the making in every field of literature, science and the arts”.
Collège de France was founded by Francis I, who appointed the first “Lecteurs royaux” in 1530. Their role was to teach disciplines which were not yet recognized at university level. Today, these former lecteurs royaux have become professors working alongside several hundred researchers, engineers, technicians and administrative staff. Collège de France is structured around chairs. They cover a huge range of disciplines ranging from mathematics to the study of major civilizations, and include physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, philosophy and literature, the social sciences and economics, prehistory, archaeology and history, and many more. Six of the fifty-one chairs are annual chairs and have new incumbents every year and six are International. They promote responsiveness and scientific teaching in fields which are emerging or require a multidisciplinary approach.
Many specialist conferences and a multidisciplinary symposium on a major social theme are organized every year to provide opportunities for the national and international scientific community to meet and exchange ideas.
From the very outset, the basic premise that chairs are not permanent has underpinned the creative energy of this academic community. Therefore, when incumbents retire, new appointments are made on the basis of the very latest scientific developments. New members are elected by the Assembly of Professors. There is no specific academic rank stipulated for nominees; the only relevant factors are the significance and originality of their work. The possibility of modifying chairs is a principle which avoids the rigidity of fixed academic disciplines. Collège de France is therefore permanently adapting to developments in the sciences and remains a focal point for the scientific community.
Most lectures take place in Paris. However, all professors are free to deliver some of their teaching in other major cities in France or abroad. A special welcome is extended to scholars from abroad. Every year, over 50 scholars from abroad are invited to deliver a series of lectures. The teaching staff includes tenured professors from abroad. Many young PhD or post-doctoral researchers from all over the world also work in the laboratories. Broadcasts of lecture courses on the Collège de France website are extremely popular and this plays a part in disseminating knowledge and extending the reach of the institution worldwide.
Collège de France has valuable resources in the form of rare books and some of the best specialist libraries in Europe. These research tools for professors and researchers attached to Collège de France are open to external specialists and attract an increasing number of researchers from abroad.
Collège de France laboratories and specialist institutes play host to researchers and young guest teams working on medium-term programs. Internal, guest or external teams are always affiliated to other research bodies with specialist infrastructures, so that they can work over the long-term, retaining a degree of flexibility which is the key to innovation.
Lectures are open to all, free of charge and without prior registration, subject to availability of seats. They begin annually in October with an interdisciplinary symposium. The calendar of lectures is available at the reception desk or on the website.
Collège de France publishes the full text of inaugural lectures (collection Fayard), proceedings of symposia and series of lectures (collection Odile Jacob), the Letter of Collège de France, and a “yearbook” which summarizes each professor’s teaching for the year.
The website, which underpins the institution and its knowledge dissemination mission, offers web users access to the teaching calendar and forthcoming events, a large number of lectures and symposia in audio and video formats, as well as scientific materials and electronic publications.
