- Ministerial guidance and information systems in the context of university autonomy;
- Organisation and strategy of the University of Paris1 Panthéon-Sorbonne;
- Digital Strategy of the Condorcet Campus;
- Research equipment;
- Forms of mutualisation between universities in the field of information systems;
- The problems of information systems in a multi-site university;
- Collection of information on the professional integration of students and the quality of training.
At the end of the study visits, training activities are planned at each Tunisian university involved in the project to train staff in the approaches and good practices of information systems management and financial management learned during the visits to the 3 European universities.
Between 27 and 29 November 2019 the University of Gabés will host the last training on "Internal control system in universities and control of the implementation of the Projet Etablissement", whose main trainers will be CESIE and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, supported by the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the National Authority for Evaluation, Quality Assurance and Accreditation.
