Steering Committee

The Steering Committee, whose composition was confirmed at the July 2025 COPIL meeting, is composed of the UPPA's governance actors, namely the President and the Director General of Services who oversee the institution's overall strategy. It was also important to involve our statutory Vice Presidents of Research, of Academics and University Life, of International Relations, and of Partnerships and Innovation, as key players in the implementation of this strategy, one of the axes of which is our HRS4R (Human Resources Strategy For Researchers) project. The deans of the three Colleges participated in the Committee to relay the approach and validate its feasibility within their respective units. As our institution has received the I-SITE accreditation with its flagship project E2S UPPA, the Executive Director of the project brought his support to the HRS4R process and ensured the coherence of the two undertakings. All of these actors are faculty members.

Given the nature of the project, the Directors of Human Resources and of Transformation and Ongoing Improvement represent the UPPA’s administrations and contribute their invaluable technical expertise.

The Steering Committee composed of the aforementioned actors is in charge of defining the broad outlines of our HRS4R methodology. It then studies and validates each step of the HRS4R project led by the Operational Committee and the Associated Contributors.
