Indeed, EU-CONEXUS makes it easier to share knowledge, skills and scientific resources between its member universities. This makes for smoother exchanges and, above all, enables the implementation of joint actions to boost and accelerate research on the LUDI theme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eu-conexus.eu\/en\/joint-research-institutes-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about research projects and actions within EU-CONEXUS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.univ-larochelle.fr\/en\/university\/our-vision\/specialised-research-on-smart-urban-coastal-sustainability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about the specialisation of La Rochelle Universit\u00e9\u2019s research.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;48627&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>THEME 2: TRANSFORMING EDUCATION THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE, RESEARCH-BASED TRAINING PROGRAMME<\/h2>\n<p>Like La Rochelle Universit\u00e9, EU-CONEXUS relies on interdisciplinarity and high-quality courses to help its students succeed and find employment. To achieve this, the European University includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.univ-larochelle.fr\/en\/training\/our-syllabus\/major-minor-in-a-bachelors-degree-at-the-university\/\">major\/minor<\/a> combination in its range of courses, which has already been applied at La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 since 2018. This system enables students to personalise their pathways, by encouraging their curiosity and giving them the time to discover, so that they can better choose the subjects that are most likely to appeal to them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;48631&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Finally, because training and learning continue throughout professional life, following the example of La Rochelle Universit\u00e9, the European University also offers training to working people so that they can broaden or diversify their skills.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.univ-larochelle.fr\/en\/university\/our-vision\/experimenting-with-new-training-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more about the transformation of training paths at La Rochelle Universit\u00e9.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>THEME 3: A KEY ACTOR IN SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT<\/h2>\n<p>On a national and local scale, La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 actively contributes to the social and economic development of its territory. We support and encourage research and innovation projects, and work with a number of local actors (companies, institutions and organisations in La Rochelle).<\/p>\n<p>La Rochelle Universit\u00e9\u2019s determination to have a positive impact on the territory in which it is located is now being extended to the European level. The European University develops partnerships both at European and local level. In La Rochelle, EU-CONEXUS has forged links with the marinas and commercial ports, the city hall and Conurbation Authority (CDA), as well as the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.<\/p>\n<p>EU-CONEXUS and its partners are both the voice of Europe at local European events, and the voice of its territories at European events.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;48629&#8243; img_size=&#8221;500&#215;300&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>THEME 4: BUILDING A SMART, SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL CAMPUS<\/h2>\n<p>Finally, following in the footsteps of La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 and its \u201cSmart Campus\u201d ambition, EU-CONEXUS is incorporating sustainable development issues into its strategy.
