The role of the Scientific Commission
In a context where research is an increasingly important issue for Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA at local, national and international levels, the Institute's Scientific Commission plays a central role in discussion, programming and evaluation. It is the main arena in which research-related issues are debated, whether in connection with teaching at Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA or with the laboratories (Pacte, CERDAP², CESICE). In its advisory role, the Board issues opinions on a wide range of research strategy and policy issues.
The LRU law broadened the scope of this body, which gives its opinion on the definition of candidate profiles for the positions of Associate Professor and Professor, on the composition of selection committees set up for recruitment purposes, on visiting professors and on career advancement. The Scientific Committee is also responsible for recruiting temporary teaching and research assistants (ATER) at Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA.
The Scientific Commission also decides on the distribution of research credits allocated by Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA. It does so in the interests of transparency of procedures, clarification of the institution's needs and greater predictability of research projects.
