Education and Research projects
In line with our strategy for internationalization, at Rennes 2, our teachers and researchers are involved in a number of important European and global projects.
European Projects and Partners
BIENVENÜE is one of the most important European projects supported by the region of Brittany and to which Rennes 2 University is a partner. With a funding of €5.5M, the project foresees the recruitment of 75 postdoctoral fellows in 8 higher education and research institutions in the region.
Rennes 2 University has joined forces with a group of other European higher education institutions to create EMERGE, a European University Alliance which seeks to connect and transform our individual educational and research-based programs for the benefit of our students, researchers and local communities.
This project aims to build the capacity of higher education and increase the effectiveness of educational practices at the post-secondary level through increasing the level of language competences and development of soft skills of university students in the framework of mobility activities of the Erasmus+ programme.
The IDEAL Futures Teacher Academy will develop a range of professional development (PD) activities and a collaborative digital hub to provide opportunities for transformative dialogue to support educators to develop as future digital educational leaders.
This project involves 28 partners who together will work to demonstrate that all territories can implement 'nature-based climate change adaptation solutions' (NBCCAS): "actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems to directly address societal challenges, including adaptation to climate change, in an effective and adaptive manner, while ensuring human well-being and generating benefits for biodiversity".
The project unfolds along several axes: it has an educational goal (by involving students in research), contributes to education and training (several clinical seminars are organized around case construction), also has a clinical goal (contributing to the development of good practices for the institutional treatment of individuals with autism), and aims, through this research, to enhance the quality of life of individuals with autism.
The SCORE project directly seeks to combat discrimination and racism: to promote awareness, build knowledge and share best practices at local level on the benefits of diversity, as well as effective measures to tackle discrimination and racism. It also centers on the inclusion of minorities: promoting awareness and knowledge about the role of minorities, such as people of racial or ethnic origin, in European societies and their contribution to cultural development.
In the field of performing arts historiography, dealing with digital traces presents a challenge. Documenting Europe’s post-WWII mise-en-scène and creative processes amid this vast sea of data has proven exceptionally demanding. Funded by the European Research Council, the STAGE project will fuse culture analytics, actor-network theory, data modelling and computer vision to pioneer the nascent field of performing arts analytics.
TACTICS is an Erasmus Mundus Design Measures project which aims to design a joint international and interdisciplinary Master's programme in which creativity will be paramount. Teaching intercultural competence through creative methods will help students to strengthen their everyday culture and promote inclusive innovation.
Developed within the framework of the Erasmus Mundus Design Measures (EMDM), the TELME Master programme will be jointly delivered by an international consortium of higher education institutions to teach future language teachers and professionals how to create and maintain an environment that encourages good interpersonal relations within a multicultural group. The TELME Master will promote excellence in language teaching research and innovation, and high-quality language teaching training with a broad, multidisciplinary basis
The partner institutions : University of Limerick (Ireland), Åbo Akademi University (Finland), Universidad de Burgos (Spain) and the Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland).
TRIP is a three-year strategic partnership (Erasmus+ KA 203) with four partner universities. The project aims to develop effective mechanisms for the design and delivery of curricula that are inclusive and provide access to cross-cutting skills (e.g. intercultural competence and global citizenship), while also fulfilling the commitment to address key societal challenges.
The YEAH! project will develop an innovative, digital intervention that enhances social interactions and empowers children and adolescents to adopt healthier lifestyles.
