Circle U. and academics
The European alliance Circle U. and Université Paris Cité have developed a series of initiatives to support and foster collaboration between their academic and administrative staff at a European level. Several calls for proposals are launched throughout the year and special meetings are organised on a regular basis. A Circle U. team is also based at the university to provide support and expertise in bringing new projects to fruition in conjunction with its partners and key themes.
Call for projects
Circle U. and Université Paris Cité launch several calls for proposals throughout the year to support projects of all their members of staff. Thanks to these calls, a number of projects have already been launched within our university, such as the CU.Lympics hybrid course programme, the BRIDGE anti-discrimination programme, and many others…
