Verbatim

Projects related to education and digital technology are multiplying, but there is currently no real internal community structured around these subjects. It is up to us to organise it, to set up and structure a transversality between research and innovation through our Education and Digital Programme, to benefit from each other's knowledge and to take up the challenges of the sector together, whether they are related to the mastery of technical skills, the development of critical thinking, digital confidence or digital sovereignty.
