Talents

The A*Midex Foundation intends to support the transformation of the Aix-Marseille site's training offer by acting on the quality of training and its attractiveness, particularly internationally. It supports the experimental actions of the site's researchers and teacher-researchers in the direction of a dual objective:

• The transformation and pedagogical innovation
• The training, attraction and perpetuation of talent

1.    Training and success

The role of the A*Midex Foundation is to support the university and schools of the site in their dynamic transformation and educational innovation. As an Initiative of Excellence, it works in coherence with the major projects stemming from the Investing the Future France 2030 Program by deploying several calls for projects within the Academy of Excellence program.

• The Academy of Excellence program

Already launched three times (2013, 2014, 2017), it has become a quality label for the scientific and educational community. This program developed for a period of 3 years (2021-2024) is endowed with a budget of 3 M€. It is based on the following devices:

• Call for projects " Multilingualism: foreign language curricula".

• Call for Projects " Research-Based Training Transformation":

The PAA Transformation of training through research aims to transform the Master's level training offer by strengthening the link between fformation and research around one or more reinforcements.

• Call for Projects " Promote the reorientation of students through the creation of gateways" (launch: September 2023)

2.   Training and welcoming in a globalized context

The Academy of Excellence program accompanies the site's approach in its desire to integrate contemporary societal challenges into the training of students and teachers, while developing the site's international potential by capitalizing on the hybridization of training:
 

•  Call for projects"Taking into account the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in training" (launch: September 2022)
•  Call for projects "mobility and hybridization"(launch September in 2022)

3.    Attractiveness and individualized development

Attracting and retaining the best talent on the Aix-Marseille site is one of the main objectives of A*Midex. Through various programs, A*Midex offers a privileged research and teaching space by developing the scientific environment offered to new researchers and facilitating their access to technological platforms.

• The "Chairs of Excellence" program

The Chairs of Excellence program offers a privileged incoming mobility environment with the opportunity to conduct a research and/or teaching project funded over three years (renewable for two years). In particular, it allows the recruitment of a research/teaching team.

• Doctoral disability contracts and individualized support for doctoral students with disabilities

The Excellence Initiative will also provide structural support for access to an academic career for people with disabilities. Since 2020, in order to promote the pursuit of doctoral studies by students with disabilities and success in doctoral studies, the program incorporates an action allowing the funding of doctoral contracts in support of the Ministry of Education's policy, and individualized support for all doctoral students with disabilities at Aix-Marseille University

• Panorama

The Panorama Project will implement the communication strategy to harmonize the information offered by all partners and mobilize the field;
Will deploy its activities to all target high schools. The "test ton sup" action will be experimented in the form of immersion on campuses with fun formats, mobilizing the training components.
