HARVEST
Presentation
With a budget of €11.1 million over ten years, the HARVEST project serves as a strategic lever for Université Paris Cité’s transformation. It focuses on two main components: strengthening services and structures dedicated to supporting the development and submission of European projects, and lifelong learning initiatives, both at the central and faculty levels, with the goal of enhancing the university’s attractiveness and performance in these two areas.
Governance
The HARVEST project is implemented under the auspices of the StratEx Steering Committee, ensuring alignment with institutional priorities and other strategic projects.
Institutional partners of the project include the Institut Pasteur, IRD, Inserm and IPGP, the latter being a component institution of Université Paris Cité, while INALCO, Sciences Po and Inria are support partners.
