Promoting Openness
The EUT acts as a buffer between the IUTs and the UGA (authorities, research centers, other academic departments, service units, etc.), opening institutional doors with the Grenoble and Regional Academy Rectorate, the AURA Region, the Prefecture, and economic and international partners.
This role of openness is essential both to raise awareness of the EUT among its supervisory bodies and partners, and to highlight the role of these supervisory bodies and partners in the life of the IUTs.
The EUT must play this ongoing role of monitoring, networking, and reflection in order to better understand the complex world in which it operates.
Affirming our role as a local partner
The strength of EUT lies in its knowledge of the region, its economic players, its issues, and its challenges. Promoting the region to young people and promoting young people to the region are two of EUT's ambitions.
This can only be possible if students feel welcome within their educational institution and if IUT staff feel listened to and supported in the performance of their duties.
A regional policy can only become a reality if it is based on close human ties between the IUT and its partners, but also within the IUT itself: knowledge of the aspirations of staff and students is the EUT's greatest asset.
The structure of small-scale training departments (20 to 30 teachers for 300 to 400 students) facilitates this close relationship. Similarly, internships, work experience placements, and apprenticeships provide opportunities to strengthen this relationship with the professional world and the local area.
Unleashing the spirit of innovation
Implementing the BUT is a demanding task for teaching teams. It is the only degree that is truly organized around skills, using resources and professional scenarios developed in collaboration with professionals. It has led to the creation of SAés (learning and assessment situations), which are one of the most striking examples of the innovation driven by teaching teams.
This spirit of innovation has always been present at the IUTs, which were the first in Grenoble to initiate tutored projects, develop apprenticeship programs, create skills and trade centers, and develop international courses. The EUT's educational days help to fuel this momentum by also drawing on the training courses offered within the IUT network and by the UGA.
Encourage Sharing
Alone we go faster, together we go further. This old adage perfectly sums up the urgent need to share initiatives observed here and there, in one's own territory or elsewhere, in France or internationally.
Giving in order to receive is the very driving force behind sharing and collective progress, which are integral to university research, teaching, and administrative activities.
It involves having the necessary resources to carry out its missions, promoting the development of cross-functional and interdisciplinary projects, and increasing internal communication efforts to learn about everyone's initiatives.
Knowledge of one's own professional environment is certainly the first requirement for encouraging sharing.
