Message from the Faculty of Science Administration
Ladies and gentlemen
Dear colleagues,
The Faculty of Science Council, meeting on Friday, October 26, 2018, voted and approved the adoption of a new organizational chart for the Montpellier Faculty of Science Administration. With this vote, the Council members expressed their need for greater proximity between the various stakeholders in our community with regard to the various institutional deadlines ahead, in particular the new 2021-2025 accreditation.
Therefore, in order to develop and facilitate effective communication, two levels of responsibility have been defined within the new political team: Deputy Directors and Educational Managers.
The role of the Assistant Directors is to act as a liaison with our University's governing bodies and councils, while that of the Academic Coordinators is to establish an effective relationship with our "Training and Research" community.
The configuration of this newly defined structure should, thanks to the commitment of the new managers (Bachelor's, Master's, and Continuing Education), facilitate the flow of information and exchanges, and answer all questions relating to pedagogy and the day-to-day management of our training program, whether it be pedagogical management or administrative management. – Apprenticeship/Continuing Education) to streamline information and exchanges, and to answer all questions relating to teaching and the day-to-day management of our training programs, whether it be teaching management by teachers and teacher-researchers or management by administrative and technical staff at the Faculty of Sciences , whether they are assigned to teaching departments or central services.
Freed from the duties associated with the various committees and councils of our institution, they will also be able to facilitate the implementation of our future LMD5 training program and ensure the desired proximity to all teachers, staff, and users of the UFR Sciences.
As before, the numerous responsibilities relating to our representation in the political life of the University and the representativeness of our department at local, national, and international levels will be divided among the management team: delegation to the various councils—Board of Directors, Academic Council, Technical Committee, Joint Establishment Committee, Health, Safety, and Working Conditions Committee, etc. -, Muse "Montpellier University of Excellence," Montpellier Campus Operation, etc.
The important work carried out in recent years by successive management teams—who deserve our sincere thanks for their valuable and remarkable commitment—means that we have no regrets: our Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier is firmly established in the academic landscape, and the present allows us to move forward without attrition and look to the future with confidence.
"We must have no regrets for the past, no remorse for the present, and unshakeable confidence in the future." Jean Jaurès 1859-1914
Sincerely,
Alain Hoffmann and the FdS Management Team
University of Montpellier
