Ecological transformation (TREC)

The UFR Sociétés, Cultures et Langues Etrangères (SoCLE) is committed to environmental issues.

This commitment is reflected in :
  • Appointment and training of a TREC (Ecological Transformation) referent: Martine Paulicand, socle-rse@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
  • Drawing up an action plan based on the strategic axes of the Université Grenoble Alpes' TREC master plan.
  • Setting up a TREC committee to reflect on and implement the action plan.
  • Communication of TREC information on a notice board (Stendhal G building, 2nd floor) and by e-mail Involvement of UFR staff in the TREC approach by setting up awareness-raising workshops (climate fresco, etc.).
  • Université Grenoble Alpes Alpes is keen to promote the commitment of its staff and students to ecological and societal transitions, in particular with the help of an openbadge. Have you taken part in a training course, conference, workshop, team seminar, etc. on the theme of social and environmental responsibility, and would you like to know if you are eligible for theUGA open badge?
