The University of Rennes participated last week in the USN Partner Days from June 1st to 4th, represented by Claire Le Page, head of international relations at ENSSAT, Jacques-François Diouf, academic head of European cooperation at IGR-IAE Rennes, and Romain Guillard, head of international relations at IGR-IAE Rennes.

The University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), an EDUC partner of the University of Rennes, was formed from the merger of three universities 10 years ago. It has 18,000 students and 1,900 staff members across four faculties and eight campuses. USN has 600 international partnerships.

For four days, USN hosted 30 representatives from its academic partners on the Drammen campus (with an optional visit to the Vestfold campus on the fourth day). The invited partners were primarily from European institutions, particularly EDUC (Cagliari, Pécs, Masaryk, Rennes).

Discussions, presentations, and group work focused on inclusive mobility, Erasmus programs, and promoting student mobility. Beyond the work carried out during these sessions, our presence at the Partner Days allowed us to connect with USN partners for potential future collaborations.
