The merging of the two universities in Clermont-Ferrand to create Clermont Auvergne University has already taken place (merger officialised by national state decree on 15th September 2016, with effective start date of 1st January 2017). Following in this same dynamic, the University will be further transformed in 2020 to include a National Polytechnic Institute (INP). This institute will bring together the SIGMA Clermont engineering school with the Polytech Clermont and ISIMA (the two internal engineering schools of the University), and will also involve other schools, the overall objective being to promote an integrated research policy and a training policy combining academic and socio-economic engineering strengths, resulting in mutual benefits. This new structure will cause major changes to the academic organization of the various components of Clermont- Ferrand, and makes it possible to set up a simplified and efficient CAP 20-25 governance project. The strategy (research, training, human resources, etc.), decisions and budget orientation will henceforward be taken by Clermont Auvergne University, CAP 20-25's leading institution. Moreover, this new structure is accompanied by unprecedented commitments to public-private partnerships. For example, the intensified cooperation with Michelin resulted in the creation of a shared laboratory - the first in the world for Michelin - between the company and the new university. Similarly, cooperation with Limagrain led to the joint creation of a Living Lab: the territorial innovation laboratory for field crops in the Auvergne (LIT). The CAP 20-25 project thus integrates the most advanced scientific skills of the site and contributes to the nature and increased strength of the Auvergne region's identity. In an environment which naturally favours an excellent quality of life, the project aims to make a major contribution to the scientific, technological, environmental, and behavioural changes essential to the conception of models for sustainable production and living which is the key goal of the project and contributes to the identity of the site. This objective can be translated into four strategic scientific challenges: • Firstly, sustainable agro-ecosystems in a context of global change: optimizing the integration of agricultural systems (cereals and livestock) in their environment and increasing their technical, environmental and societal performance • Secondly, innovative systems and services for production and transport: development of technological components in areas related to human-robot cooperation (autonomous robotic systems and new information / communication technologies) • Thirdly, personalized mobility as a key factor in health: formulating innovative and interdisciplinary solutions to promote, preventively or curatively, the mobility of people, which is an essential factor in their health, by the exploration of muscular function and factors affecting motor skills. • Fourthly: disaster risk and socio-economic vulnerability: study of the complex interactions between societies and natural disasters, in particular volcanic risks in developing countries and the path between research and political decision-making. These orientations are very much in line with the development of the Auvergne's economic sectors (agriculture, industry, health and environment). Moreover, they include excellence measures from the Investments for the Future programme. They are also consistent with the key areas of the S3 smart specialization strategy for the Auvergne and with the H2020 framework programme. These orientations will be implemented by the development of a “multimodal innovation” strategy combining, for each of the orientations, a multidisciplinary approach, multi-stakeholder partnerships and multiple performances (economic, societal and environmental). The human-scale of the site and the changes already achieved in the University, alongside an efficient governance which is highly responsive to the project's orientations, are all factors which will ensure the coherence of the project as it is deployed. The implementation of CAP 20-25 will be carried out in the following six areas: Research: the project will focus on the development of four strategic scientific orientations that benefit from strong links with major industrial players and address fundamental societal issues, such as adaptation to climate change and natural disasters, human quality of life and production system efficiency. Training: two main devices define de training. First, all the national diplomas awarded by the institutions involved in the project will be delivered under the single name of "Université Clermont Auvergne". Then, through the “LEARN’in Auvergne” programme and in line with the four strategic scientific challenges, will be setup a set of multidisciplinary Confidential 4/69 IDEX/I-SITE WAVE 2 CAP 20-25 CALL FOR PROPOSALS SELECTION PHASE AMENDED PROJECT modules (in being integrated into the various master, engineer and doctoral courses as well as in continuing training) which will aim at understand the scientific, technological, ethical, legal and behaviour challenges linked to the digital revolution. Indeed, it is crucial to prepare our students and socio-economic partners to master this new professional and personal environment so that they can adapt to the demands of tomorrow jobs. The integration of digital technology into training and pedagogical innovation and the links with research in computer science, artificial intelligence and cognition sciences give CAP 20-25 the means to achieve this ambition. Transfer: a structuring of support services for innovation and technology transfer through “Innovergne Hub” programme (creation of an innovative company, direct transfer and partnership research) will simplify the innovation process for all stakeholders on the site: students who have acquired an entrepreneurial vision, researchers who want to enhance the commercial applications of their inventions, and industrials looking for innovative solutions. International strategy: “WOW!” (Wide Open to the World) programme will rely on a set of devices for hosting, mobility and international project engineering as well as for the implementation of international alliances and international laboratories. Talent policy: an ambitious human resources policy will include: an excellence Chairs programme to recruit top researchers and post-docs, a tenure track programme for candidates who have demonstrated excellence during a probationary period and the implementation of CAP 20-25 “without walls” academy that will distinguish researchers or lecturers for their search for excellence, according to international recognition. Student life: the objective is to provide students with an attractive and fulfilling living environment. A collaborative approach between the city
