When the project was launched, working groups made up of researchers and support staff first identified the gaps between the institutions' practices and the 40 principles of the Charter and Code. They identified needs for improvement in terms of collaborative work, recognition of work and people, civic involvement, and the importance of constant enrichment between research and training.

Based on these gaps, desirable actions were identified, then presented and discussed at a public conference before being validated by the Steering Committee.

In all, 27 actions were identified, each under the responsibility of an action leader whose role was defined as follows by means of a mission statement:

• Coordinate its application at Université Grenoble Alpes level, respecting deliverables and timetables.
• Set up and coordinate the working group(s) in charge of refining the operational implementation of each action, ensuring that they are representative of all components.
• Report to the Monitoring Committee on the progress of action implementation.

The Monitoring Committee

From the initial project group, a monitoring committee, coordinated by a project manager, was set up to oversee the progress of the initiatives. The Committee's role is to assess progress, suggest readjustments and draw attention to any difficulties encountered.
Until the first self-assessment is submitted to the European Commission at the end of June 2023, the Monitoring Committee will act as a link between the pilots and the Steering Committee.

Members of the Monitoring Committee:

• Elise BELAÏDI, MCF UGA - HP2 Inserm lab (until August 2022)
• Thierry BONTEMS, Research engineer at CNRS, UMR Pacte - Sciences Po Grenoble-UGA
• Giovanny LAU, PhD student at the Psychology and neuroCognition lab - CNRS-UGA
• Stéphanie PARADIS, post-PhD student at the Hypoxy and Cardiovascular and respiratory Physiopathologies lab - INSERM - UGA
• Christophe PICARD - MCF Grenoble INP-UGA - Jean Kuntzmann lab - INRIA-CNRS-UGA

Steering Committee:

The Steering Committee meets twice a year, in spring and autumn, to review progress on the action plan and compliance with commitments. It decides on proposals made by the Monitoring Committee, ensures consistency and coordination with other major projects, and facilitates the process across the broad scope of UGA's 4 employer institutions.
