sawseveral newandexisting large-scaleprojects, oneof
thembeing theon-goingconstructionof our campus. In
our key activity, research, there was a clear increase in
thenumber of publicationsand their qualityaswell asastrongprogression in
thenumber of collaborativeprojects, particularly inEuropeancontractswhich
now represent half of EURECOM’s contractual turnover.
With the CNRS, the Nice Sophia Antipolis University and INRIA (our future
neighbors in the Campus), we applied for the LABEX label in our areas of
expertise. Our application was accepted, and we are now working with
our partners to implement the label.
In the teachingarea, theCommissiondesTitresd’ingénieur (CTI) renewed
Télécom ParisTech’s engineering diploma accreditation after carrying
out an audit on our premises. This also put backon the table our appli-
cation for two EURECOM diplomas which will bring new flexibility to
the school in terms of student recruiting and recognition as a higher
education institution.
EURECOM isproud to be a networkschool. As such, it is always open
to new academic partnerships and very promising contacts have
beenmade in2011with several universities in Europe andAsia. The
VietnamNational University inHo Chi MinhCity joined EURECOM’s
group of academic partners in 2011. The collaboration with this
extended and dynamic university gives us a foothold in a rapidly
developing country.
Much time and effort was also devoted to the construction
project of EURECOM’s new campus. The move, scheduled for
September 2012, entailed extra effort from our administrative
and financial serviceswho dealt with themany calls for tender.
With a delivery scheduled in May 2012, the new building will
enable us to double the number of our Masters students, and
will provide a pleasant working environment for staff and
students.
