Acting responsibly and ethically.
Polytechnique acts in a responsible and ethical manner. Recognized for
the quality and effectiveness of its management processes and for its
research governance structures, for many years Polytechnique has also
been a benchmark in the university world for the management of its
intellectual property.
At a time when government bodies must adopt sustainable-development
policies, Polytechnique can count on high-level internal expertise in this
area.
We will work to integrate the principles of sustainable development into all
of our business processes. As proof of our responsibility and transparency,
we will improve our accountability mechanisms and make them even more
efficient.
Our objectives for 2011-2016
■ Continue to improve our research governance practices.
■ Optimize and enrich mechanisms for planning, monitoring and
accountability.
■ Improve our efficiency and agility by co-ordinating our efforts,
consolidating our resources and simplifying our processes.
■ Be a benchmark in intellectual-property management.
■ Adopt good sustainable development practices.
Criteria for measuring our success
■ Polytechnique’s leadership in research governance.
■ Capacity of the Commission de la recherche (research committee)
and of the leadership structures of our spheres of excellence to
actively contribute to research development at Polytechnique.
■ Efficiency of the Bureau de la recherche et Centre de
développement technologique (Office of Research/Centre for
Technological Development – BRCDT).
■ Recognized practices for exemplary management of intellectual
property.
■ Integration of sustainable-development approaches into our
processes.
