June 12, 13 and 14: three days of student engagement for an ecological and socially responsible society

On June 12, 13 and 14, Université Paris Cité will host an event on student engagement and the ecological transition at the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Campus, organized by the Student Network for an Ecological and Socially Responsible Society (RESES). This event will be centered on action, sharing and planetary health. Registrations are open: sign up here!

In order to address environmental and societal challenges, Université Paris Cité is implementing a number of initiatives as part of its 2025–2030 Sustainable Development and Social and Environmental Responsibility roadmap. This collective approach is made possible by all sectors of the university community, including student associations committed to ecological and social transition.

In a context where environmental and social issues occupy a central place, our university is reaffirming its commitment by hosting three days dedicated to building a greener, fairer and more supportive society.

Organised by the Student Network for an Ecological and Solidarity-based Society (RESES), this event will bring together students, associations and committed stakeholders for discussions, participatory workshops and collective reflection.

The objective is to generate concrete solutions to today’s challenges, foster collective engagement and encourage action.

By supporting this initiative — through the provision of campus spaces and dedicated support — UPCité aims to highlight the key role students play in ecological and social transition. This commitment fully reflects a planetary health approach, which seeks to think about human health and ecosystem health together.

On the program for June 12, 13 and 14:

• Collaborative workshops
• Conferences
• Experience-sharing sessions
• Careers and employment forum
• Student association forum
• Prize-giving and convivial moments that encourage connection and collective intelligence

This event is a major opportunity to:

• Highlight student engagement
• Strengthen collective momentum around ecological issues
• Affirm the institution’s position as an active stakeholder in ongoing transitions

Open to all, this event promises to be a major moment of mobilization, inspiration and action. Stay tuned!
