Sabine Saurugger

Sabine Saurugger, University Professor of Political Science, has been Director of Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA since February 1, 2020. In line with the school's ongoing development, her program aims to further internationalize training and research, while maintaining the school's territorial roots. Together with the staff and students who are at the heart of this development, the aim is to strengthen Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA's commitment to the environment and pursue its social investment.

 

Sabine Saurugger emphasizes:
"The future of our school is now taking shape in a new context, that of bringing together all the forces of public higher education on the Grenoble Alpes site within a new experimental public institution called "Université Grenoble Alpes" (UGA). Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA, while retaining its legal personality and autonomy, is fully committed to this project as a component institution of the UGA, contributing to the construction of a world-class university. The aim of my management team will be to transform the challenges of this new integrated university into opportunities. Indeed, Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA can make a strong contribution as a laboratory for innovation, drawing on its strengths: multidisciplinarity in the social sciences, internationalization of teaching and research, commitment to an inclusive society."
