Axis 2 - Infrastructures and vital functions

Infrastructures and vital functions

Our ambition is to become an environmental role model in both our operational activities and our infrastructure, with practices in alignment with the social, environmental, cultural and economic challenges of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our initiatives focus namely on food, mobility, energy, along with many others. 

Axis 2 and its projects 

In 2020, an in-depth strategic reflection on sustainability issues was launched within our institution. This resulted in four strategic pillars, the second of which relates to our infrastructure and vital functions. 

In October 2021, four projects were launched, each composed of a multidisciplinary project team and combining different profiles (students, teachers, administrative staff, researchers, members of the management committee, etc.).
