Aix-Marseille University (AMU) and the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) have signed an agreement on the creation and operation of the AUF-IMéRA Chair, entitled "Transformations structurelles et dynamiques institutionnelles en Francophonie".

In the presence of Yvon Berland, President of AMU, Jean-Paul de Gaudemar, Rector of AUF, and Denis Bertin, President of IMéRA.

Organized over a three-year academic cycle (2019-2022), the chair "Structural and Dynamic Institutional Transformations in Francophonie" is jointly supported by IMéRA, the Institut d'études avancées d'Aix-Marseille Université, and the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie.

It has for potential study purposes:

  • structural transformations and institutional reforms in resource-rich countries;
  • infrastructure, inequalities and development;
  • socio-political models of inclusiveness and the definition of related reforms;
  • structural transformations, educational policies and the employment of young graduates;
  • the new models of North/South versus South/South partnership.

The challenge of this chair is to promote expertise in teaching and research around the Francophonie.
