The Standing Committee

CDEFI is administered by a Board of Directors called “Standing Committee”. It comprises 21 members:

  • 1 president,
  • vice-presidents,
  • 12 members elected by the General Meeting,
  • 4 co-opted members.
According to the Conference statuses, the elected members of the Standing Committee must be able to reflect the interests of all the French schools of engineering: schools supervised by the Ministry in charge of Higher Education and Research, schools supervised by the other “technical” ministries, private schools, etc.

Elected and co-opted members are part of the Standing Committee for two years and their mandate can be renewed twice.

The Standing Committee members express the voice of the General Meeting members :
 
  • they identify the major work orientations of the Conference.
  • they follow the implementation of tasks and decisions.
  • they express public and political opinions on legal documents related to Higher Education and Research reforms in France, Europe and worldwide.
