Actions carried out at the Université Grenoble Alpes thanks to the CVEC

 
Since its implementation in 2018, the Université Grenoble Alpes has been working on projects aimed at improving all services for students.

Actions implemented in 2019-2020 thanks to the CVEC

Over the academic year, 2,870,830€ of CVEC contributions were spent on projects and services for campus life carried out by the universities, schools, the Crous and partners.

  • In the context of the health crisis, more than €500,000, divided between Grenoble and Valence, was allocated to salaries and the running of health centers.
  • One third of the CVEC expenditure was directed towards managing the COVID crisis: psychologists, social service reinforcement, complementary precariousness, loan of computers, distribution of gel and masks, etc.
  • An additional 259,000€ was also allocated by the UGA to the Crous Grenoble Alpes for social aid for precarious students, but also for the creation of a specific aid, the recruitment of an additional social assistant and a system to combat digital insecurity.

Social support


Because every student can be confronted with financial difficulties that hinder the correct development of his or her studies, UGA is strengthening its support services to ensure that everyone has easy access to the assistance for which they are eligible.

  • 259,000 € paid to CROUS to finance social assistance, plus a flat rate of 250 € for 1000 students in acute need, i.e. 250,000 €.

Student reception


Facilitating procedures and offering a service adapted to each individual is a major challenge for the UGA. To do this, Student Life is based on the needs and requests of students and is committed to facilitating the process and providing a personalized response to each one.

  • Creation of an iCampus mobile prevention team composed of 23 students and 14 temporary employees and also within the University Libraries
  • Distribution of masks and bottles of hydroalcoholic gel

  • The payment of 4G subscriptions for students without sufficient or reliable internet connections.
  • Support for the creation of the Agoraé solidarity grocery store

Student Initiatives


Since campus life also relies on the energy and initiatives of its students, the UGA extends its support to projects that bring the campus to life and meet their needs and desires. 
 
  • Furnishing of the Valence student center (Maison des étudiants)
  • Recruitment and training of two student stage managers for the LVE in Valence (MDE auditorium)

  • 29 events programmed
  • 22 artistic workshops (dance, theater, clowning, etc.)

  • Reduction in the cost of activities for the student
  • New activities: biathlon, 4,200 Uglisse cards offered
