Our Approach

At Rennes 2, our approach to international cooperation is strongly informed by a European and humanist model of internationalization and by the development of the European Higher Education Area, including the Erasmus Plus and Research Framework Programmes.

Our international policy incorporates European strategic priorities so as to address major contemporary societal challenges.

One of the main elements of Rennes 2’s strategy is to increase the university’s profile abroad, whilst promoting an international "culture" within the university.

    Action Plan

    Our action plan focuses on the following axes.

    texte

    Developing research and teaching projects based on sustainable and balanced European and international collaborations. Rennes 2 is committed to maintaining strong links with its historical partners and developing structuring actions with partners in the French-speaking world. We also aim to build new and formative partnerships focused on shared values, research and innovative teaching methods. Starting in 2021-2022, Rennes 2 is introducing Cap sur L’Europe: a new series of events that will put Europe at the front and center of discussion within our community. The program will include conferences, concerts, exhibitions and more, with the aim of increasing dialogue and discussions between students, staff, community partners and others.

    Promoting internationalization at home practices across our campuses, by means of courses taught in languages other than French, modules that prepare students for going abroad, meetings and projects bringing together local and international students, and the use of information and communication technologies to increase long-distance collaborations with partners abroad.

    Fostering a joined-up approach to ensure that internal tools and actions are coherent with our official internationalization policy: funding for missions abroad, visiting professorships as part of the two International Chair positions, French language programmes provided by the CIREFE.

    Developing the internationalization of our services. We aim to administrative and support services by encouraging outgoing mobility of administrative and technical staff and the exchange of good practices.
