 === SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACT ===
- We obviously expect that the research activities carried out within the Lyon Urban School will generate publications and the obtaining of funding for national and European research projects (we aim to obtain at least one ERC project per year after 5 years). But we must assume that this is not the main aim of this project, in accordance with what we have understood as the purposes of this call for tender. **Thus, the major impact of our School will indeed be societal**. Our emphasis on training obviously reflects our concern to contribute to the personal development of individuals, but also to ensure their employability throughout their career at a time when job destruction is linked in part to the progress of work and organizational productivity, as well as the expanding scope of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, in medicine and soon no doubt also in biology. In this context, it is less the acquisition of prerequisites specific to a trade or an exclusive profession that is important, as the ability to promote the value of knowledge and experience across several types of activities. In our opinion, the linking of training, action and research within the various factories contributes to a training program enabling individuals to mobilize their resources (knowledge and experience) in various action situations.

-PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
-The project initiator is Michel Lussault, Geographer, Professor at the University of Lyon. A recognized expert in urban issues, on which he has written several reference books, he also has extensive experience in project management and running academic establishments. If the creation of the Lyon Urban School is confirmed, Professor Lussault will devote himself full time to its development, its various research, training and mediation aspects, as well, of course, as the actual management of the School.
-GOVERNANCE
-Due to the very innovative nature of our problematic, the proposed activities and radical multidisciplinarity that we want to focus on, our project is anything but a routine academic proposal. Rather, it represents a complete departure from the norm, experimentation comprising a significant part of the project objectives. This is why the governance of the project will, by its responsiveness, ensure the dynamic of the Institute at the start, representing a preliminary test period. It will have to have the capacity to both accommodate new proposals while drawing on the existing research and training potential (the Doctoral Schools in particular), without which nothing can be envisaged. Our Convergence Institute, even if based on the pre-existing “bricks” available on the site of the Lyon - Saint-Étienne COMUE, should thus be considered a work in progress. From this point of view, the first four years will be decisive and can be considered as a trial period to test our ability to federate the local actors around new intelligible models of societal realities and urban practices, new training methods, factories and actions.
-LUS will be based on a system of governance by project in the interests of responsiveness and efficiency. The steering committee will be composed of six academics (at the origin of this file) and three high-level members of staff. As the executive body, it will meet on a weekly basis. Headed up by the PI, it will be responsible for steering the project from a strategic point of view, managing the cooperative work and taking decisions with regard to the choice of action and allocation of resources. The projects developed within the platform and factory "entities" (each entity will be supervised and administered by an engineer coordinator) will be allocated resources and may organise themselves as they see fit depending on their specific characteristics and in accordance with the engineer coordinator. Each project will be bound by an obligation to achieve particular results and must conduct online follow up and reporting, according to a schedule and in a manner to be defined by the steering committee.
-Funding justification
+=== PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR ===
-Our budget is deliberately focused on the functioning of the learning and training programs and on that of the other factories and platforms, as we feel it is necessary to concentrate new means on these activities in order to maximize the innovative impact of the Lyon Urban School and guarantee its attractiveness. We assume that some funding for research will be mainly contributed by the partner laboratories and through the support of the COMUE institutions and establishments. Indeed, the main need (and focus) for LUS is also its main ressource : people. The establishments who compose the LUS project contribute via the permanent staffs and their environment; it represents an input of more than 141 M€ (for 10 years). As well as the financial and human resources already listed, an important contribution will be made via collaborations and developments carried out in and around LUS, at local, national and international level.
