European Actions and 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. 

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 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. 

TELME is a prestigious, European Commission-funded international study programme that offers full scholarships to exceptional students worldwide. Jointly delivered by a consortium of five universities—Université Rennes 2 (France), Åbo Akademi (Finland), Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), Universidad de Burgos (Spain), and the University of Limerick (Ireland)—the two-year programme focuses on teaching foreign languages in multicultural environments. It promotes academic excellence, intercultural understanding, and global competencies through study periods in at least two countries. Graduates receive a joint degree from the participating universities.

The YEAH! project will develop an innovative, digital intervention that enhances social interactions and empowers children and adolescents to adopt healthier lifestyles.
