8 training and research divisions (PFRs)
The PFRs (training and research divisions) are constitutive structures of the Target University, grouping together unincorporated internal entities (faculties, departments, institutes, “internal schools”, groups of components) and, in the case of the Sciences and Humanities PFR, a legal entity (établissement-composante).
Within the scope of their academic competence, the PFRs’ missions will include: initial training including work-study training, lifelong learning, research training, knowledge production and dissemination, the transfer of research and innovation results, and professional integration. The PFRs will perform these missions within the framework of an overall policy and in line with strategic plans decided at the Target University level, in conjunction with the établissement-composante.
Subsidiarity allows the PFRs to be autonomous and they will be essential actors in the Target University’s overall strategy, contributing to its visibility and international attractiveness.
The 8 PFRs are the following:
- January 1, 1970 Biosciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences (BSP) (pdf - 136 Ko) This PFR will include the Lyon Biosciences training and research unit (UFR), the Institute of Pharmaceutical and Biological Sciences of the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and the Biology department of the Université Jean Monnet Saint-Étienne. Its scientific project combined with training at the interface of biology, biochemistry and pharmacy aims to make it a national reference centre for the “One Health” concept by 2030.
- January 1, 1970 Education and sport (pdf - 288 Ko) This PFR will combine Lyon 1’s STAPS UFR and the STAPS and Educational Sciences departments of Saint-Étienne, the Académie de Lyon’s ESPÉ, and the ENS French Institute of Education (ENS-IFE), forming a group focused on teacher training and professions centred on teachers, educators and practitioners in charge of different audiences. The PFR integrates the issue of education with health, notably through sporting practices.
- January 1, 1970 Engineering (pdf - 102 Ko) The Engineering PFR (School of Engineering) will draw on the departments and an “internal school” of Lyon 1, a faculty and an “internal school” of Université Saint-Étienne to offer training on the major fields of engineering and computing, with multiple gateways and integrating work-study options and lifelong training. The School of Engineering will combine schools, laboratories and existing Master’s degrees within the Graduate Schools (GS), whose objective will be to ensure national & international academic recognition in particularly visible fields where the site has significant strengths within its laboratories.
- January 1, 1970 Health Sciences (PUSH) (pdf - 72 Ko) The university Health Sciences PFR will be composed of the three medical UFRs: maieutics, the Faculty of Dentistry and the Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences and Techniques. The objectives of this PFR will be to manage, develop and implement the training and research strategy in the health sciences fields.
- January 1, 1970 Law (pdf - 80 Ko) This PFR, which will bring together the law faculties of Lyon 3 and Saint-Étienne, will be the Target University’s Law School from day one. The Law School will be multidisciplinary and will offer demanding and ambitious training and research activities on both campuses in the following key fields: law, management of health and social organisations, international relations, Francophone studies, security, defence and strategic studies.
- January 1, 1970 Management and Actuarial Sciences (MASc) (pdf - 73 Ko) The MASc PFR will bring together two international university schools in the fields of management and actuarial sciences: the ISFA, specialising in actuarial sciences, and the iaelyon and IAE of Saint-Étienne, which will ultimately form a single management school deployed across several sites.
- January 1, 1970 Science, Technology and Society (STS) (pdf - 73 Ko) The PFR will bring together the IUTs of the three universities, the Lyon 3 Info-Com department and the Mechanics department of Lyon 1. It will be based on science and technology and will have strong links with the professional world. It will provide training based on an autonomous learning approach and will develop interdisciplinary technological research with a focus on innovation. The STS PFR’s students, which it will train for employment, will understand the ways in which technology interacts with man and society as a whole.
- January 1, 1970 Sciences and Humanities (pdf - 180 Ko) As the provider of the core disciplines of academic development, the Sciences and Humanities PFR will draw on the ENS de Lyon, the departments and research laboratories of the Faculty of Sciences of Lyon 1, those of the Observatory of Sciences of the Universe (“internal school” of Lyon 1), those of the Faculties of Arts and Civilisations, Languages and Philosophy of Lyon 3 and those of the University of Saint-Étienne. It will focus on the postgraduate cycles of university education.
