Guided by experts, designers, and facilitators, the Student Citizens' Convention (CCE) is a participatory initiative that allowed participating students to inform themselves, discuss, and deliberate in order to contribute to a genuine ecological transformation of Université Grenoble Alpes.

In February 2026, over the course of a week in the dedicated spaces of the MaCI (Maison de la Création et de l'Innovation), around fifty of them gathered to design the university of tomorrow through days of meetings, studies, reflections, debates, and exchanges...
The students were able to listen to various stakeholders from the university and its services, and engage with the measures, frameworks, and action plans already in place to envision complementary, different, or even entirely new solutions.

In March 2026, for two additional days, they met again to consolidate these contributions and draft their "final report" using a "systemic approach," which reflects the strength of the exchanges during this CCE and, above all, the importance that students place on these recommendations.

In April 2026, It was during the public presentation of the students’ discussions and recommendations that the UGA community—its many members in attendance, as well as its key stakeholders and decision-makers—were able to learn about the "Final Report" published by the students following the 2026 UGA CCE.

It is structured around three main areas, comprising twelve measures that are interdependent.

1. Ensuring a healthy diet that drives the ecological transition and is accessible to everyone;
2. Living with non-humans to preserve biodiversity and health;
3. University governance by and for students, moving toward a participatory ecological transition.

 

The UGA Presidency responded publicly, point by point to the CCE's recommendations by outlining plans for action and follow-up.
