In 2012, UPPA launched a distinctive initiative with the creation of research and education chairs.
Several aims were pursued:
- to invest into significant scientific projects in accordance with the strategy of the university
- to create a task force dedicated to these specific research objectives
- to tighten the relationships with private and public partners, placing them within a five-years horizon instead of the traditional three-years partnership format
- to provide an increased visibility, thereby promoting the outreach of upcoming results and strengthening our international network.
With E2S UPPA I-site, this framework has been significantly expanded. New chair formats have been launched, in addition to the existing format directed at established researchers.
Junior chairs for young promising researchers, and part-time international chairs hosting researchers with a very high international visibility have been created.

A considerable increase in the potential of scientific experts for UPPA

The objective is to drastically increase the scientific power of E2S UPPA, and at the same time, to embed – at the very starting point of the chair – research and education as the scientific team built up around a chair should have also educational responsibilities within the flagship programs of E2S UPPA.
70 doctoral positions and more than 100 one-year post-doctoral fellowships have been offered within these chairs, over a wide variety of scientific topics in line with the ambitions and missions of E2S UPPA.
Private and public partners
This unprecedented effort was made possible due to a wide participation of private and public partners. Their decisive input is acknowledged in the description of each specific chair.
Each project results from the convergence between scientific issues, stakeholders’ needs and, above all, the interest in the mutualisation of concerns and efforts. Our experience shows that it has been beneficial to everyone.

Renewal of the structural geology Chair

The structural geology Chair attributed to Jean-Paul Callot in 2011 helped formalize the strong cooperation between university research at the LFCR and Total’s research groups in the field of geosciences. After five years of success during which 11 theses, 13 post-doctoral projects and about 20 one-off specialist actions were achieved, the Chair has just been renewed until 2023. “The experiment proved that a strong bond between a dynamic research team and an industrial partner intent on promoting scientific exchanges is an ideal framework for research; this model should continue to grow, in particular as part of the E2S UPPA project,” says Jean-Paul Callot.
