Launched in 2010 by the French government, the “Investments for the Future” program has invested in a select number of projects. These projects share the objective of developing a more competitive French economy and addressing the challenges of the future within a cohesive Europe. With a total investment of €22 billion, the program has clearly identified higher education and research as key priorities for the country.

One of the cornerstones of the “Investments for the Future” program relies on the development of world-class, multidisciplinary, research intensive universities, as outlined by the Initiatives of Excellence (IdEx). In 2011, the University of Bordeaux was one of the first universities to be awarded an Initiative of Excellence label. The label recognizes and supports an ambitious development project that is based on extensive academic transformation. Accompanying this transformation is the promotion of a top-level research environment (Laboratories and Clusters of Excellence / University Hospital institute) that drives the international reputation of the university.

Coordinated by the University of Bordeaux and in close collaboration with its partners*, the ambitious IdEx Bordeaux, “Campus of Excellence” project, was implemented based on established scientific themes of excellence (LabEx / Clusters of Excellence) and priority action plans. From 2012 until 2015, IdEx University of Bordeaux invested an additional €120 million in research projects, infrastructures, chairs of excellence, PhD training, visiting positions for international scholars, international education tracks, student and sta� mobility grants, programs dedicated to student empowerment, social engagement, innovation and entrepreneurship, international networks and much more.

In 2016, the “Initiative of Excellence” label was definitively granted to the University of Bordeaux, in recognition of its successful academic transformation, and in support of its strategic capacity and vision to develop as a leading, international, research university. This label comes with an endowment of €700 million that generates annual revenues (amounting to €23 million) in support of this strategy.

This great achievement is largely due to the commitment and support of the partners of the University of Bordeaux, in particular the national research bodies such as CNRS, Inserm and the institutions involved in the ongoing action and development projects. These include local authorities, private and international partners.

Like many of our French, European and international higher education and research partners, the University of Bordeaux has undergone an extensive transformation process over the past years. At this milestone, it is my pleasure to share with you, our academic community and partner organizations, the confirmation of the University of Bordeaux as one of the first French Initiatives of Excellence. This annual report looks back over some of our collective achievements, and highlights projects with the defining feature of responding to the challenges of the future.

This milestone represents by no means the end, and as described by our international strategic board, the journey has just started for the University of Bordeaux to evolve as “a top ranked global university, recognized for its research excellence, its innovative learning environment and its contributions to the local, national and global community”. After this pivotal period of the academic year 2016/2017, building on the dynamics of a local, national and international community, the University of Bordeaux is looking ahead and has developed a strategic plan for 2025 (U25) based on a shared vision of the future for higher education and research.

Launched in 2012, the Initiative of Excellence of the University of Bordeaux is organized according to two distinct timeframes:

> 2012-2015: achieve extensive academic transforma-tion with the merger of three disciplinary universities and the creation of one world-class, multi-discipli-nary research university;

> 2016-2020: develop the University of Bordeaux as a Campus of Excellence and a driving force within Bor-deaux.

Supported by the endowment of the “Investments for the Future” program, a total of 22 actions have been implemented to date, boosting innovative training, re-search and knowledge transfer programs, as well as the international reputation of Bordeaux as an attractive destination for higher education and research.

Thanks to the strong impetus of the 2012-2015 period, the University of Bordeaux launched the second stage of the development project in 2016 and is forging ahead with further projects supported by the latest edition of the “Investments for the Future” program.

These include the creation of the University of Bor-deaux Graduate Research School with “UB Grad’s” pro-grams in Digital Public, Light Sciences & Technologies and Neuroscience. NewDEAL, a New University Curri-cula project, has also been selected and will propose a new student-centric education model that favors di-verse teaching methods and focuses on open, flexible curricula, connected learning, and the importance of student empowerment.

Looking beyond 2020, the University of Bordeaux has elaborated its strategic plan known as U25. This plan details the vision, mission, themes and priorities in creating a university of the future.

Our university - looking ahead Vision To be a global leader in higher education, research and knowledge transfer…

Mission …by collaborating with partners of all levels; local, national and international.

Themes Focusing on actions that are to…> develop a university of repute: providing a level of ex-

cellence in teaching, learning and researching> transform the academic experience of our students:

empowering them with critical thinking, an entrepre-neurial mindset and creativity

> drive exceptional research, innovation and creati-vity: strengthening the role of the university as a key partner that supports a strong and dynamic ecosystem

> ensure institutional e�iciency: managing an autonomous and sustainable university with an e�icient governing body

Priorities …guided by the core issues which are: > Internationalization (improving our initiatives

@home, within international networks, o�-site campuses)

> Digital environment (leveraging digital learning technologies)

> Urban campus (increasing ties with the territory)> Talent management (attracting, developing and re-

taining talents in terms of students, faculty and sta�).

Manuel Tunon de Lara President, University of Bordeaux

The future promises many new projects for the University of Bordeaux. We face this future with confidence, ambition and strong motivation - our actions and results to date represent a solid basis for success and we have a clear vision for the years ahead. We will

therefore continue to plan, invest and strive towards the further development of a leading international research university.

Action based on six priorities This activity report is structured according to the six IdEx University of Bordeaux action priorities selected for the 2017-2020 period.

Student empowermentMake the student an actor of his or her success and future, help develop a spirit of belonging, diversify opportunities. A new priority for the 2017-2020 period will be to exploit digital technology and to continue to target multicultural openness, discovery, creativity, and risk-taking.

International outreachInternationalize and progress in how we conduct research, training, administration, and innovation. The three axes of progress for the 2017-2020 IdEx program are to internationalize practices, support the structuring of networks and develop an active presence (strategic alliances, international associated laboratories, international mixed units, co-diplomas, etc.) on an international level.

Socio-economic connectionsInnovate, take action, and play a major role in the region's socio-economic development. Thanks to the various investments made in recent years (societal innovation centers, technology transfer acceleration company, university hospital institute, EquipEx, technological research institute, etc.), IdEx's actions will focus on the levers for intensifying innovation in all its forms, be it technological, environmental, medical or societal.

Research challengesInvest in infrastructure, community and doctoral training that contributes to the development of cutting-edge knowledge. This knowledge will permit the establishment of sustainable international scientifi c leadership and, in collaboration with socio-economic and international partners, will respond to complex global challenges. Beyond the already established poles of excellence, the emergence of new dynamics associated with a creative research approach and the professionalization of PhD students will be a particular focus for the actions supported by IdEx.

Talent cultureAttract, develop and recognize talented students, researchers, lecturers and sta� is the priority of our knowledge-based institution. Ambitious programs (chairs, post-docs, associate professors, etc.), successfully implemented since 2012 will be maintained and expanded by new career development actions targeting all professions in higher education and research.

Innovative programsDesign a distinctive training o� ering based on high-level multidisciplinary research, supported by educational innovation and taking place in a modern and creative environment. Whether through pilot actions or major structural programs, IdEx will continue to support the transformation of the University of Bordeaux's educational o� er, the creation of international programs, and, more generally, the development of renewed "lifelong learning" possibilities along with its partners.

IdEx University of Bordeaux projects and programs

Synergize the complementary skills of three laboratories of the University of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Montaigne University working in the field of archeology in a broad sense: historical sciences, material sciences, life sciences, earth sciences, digital humanities. The selected theme - how ancient societies used the world: processes and forms of appropriation of space over long time periods - considers space in all its meanings (the environment, nature, territory), over long periods of time (from prehistory to the end of the Middle Ages) and through the diversity of its interactions with humans.

After a thesis in Roman archeology at the Sorbonne, I did a post-doctorate at Casa de Velázquez in Madrid and then obtained a junior chair at LaScArBx. In 2016, I joined the CNRS as a researcher. The Bordeaux site has naturally established itself as THE host laboratory for both the research dynamics off ered by LabEx and the Ausonius Institute's long tradition of studies in the Iberian Peninsula. As a specialist of Roman hydraulics in France and Spain, I work on water management in ancient times. By studying a wide variety of structures (aqueducts, fountains, sewers, etc.), my research off ers both a new reading of cities and ancient territories and also contributes to a better knowledge of the history of Western Roman techniques. The archaeological research that I lead is based on a multidisciplinary approach and relies on international collaborations, particularly in the context of explorations and excavations in France and Spain.

After an international experience, I arrived in Bordeaux in 2014 as a postdoctoral fellow for the IdEx attractiveness campaign in the team led by Yann Humeau at the Interdisciplinary Institute of Neuroscience (IINS). I was recruited the same year as a researcher at the CNRS and IdEx transformed my post-doctorate into a Visiting Chair. The following year, I obtained an ANR young researcher funding and a Marie-Curie fellowship, and was named Laureate of the National Academy of Medicine. Now, I'm running my own group within IINS with ERC Starting Grant funding (2016-2021). The "Multimodal In vivo Neurophysiology Department" (MIND) is a shared space that brings together many in vivo skills (surgery, behavior, imaging, etc.) off ering a unique environment for studying the cortical mechanisms of associative learning in awakened animals. Thanks to the joint support of IdEx, LabEx BRAIN, the European Union and the CNRS, I am able to use my skills in optogenetics, electrophysiology, and imagery in live animals within the rich and dynamic neuroscience community of Bordeaux.

After a PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, the IHU Bordeaux welcomed me as a postdoctoral fellow in 2013. I work closely with Liryc researchers and clinicians to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for cardiac arrhythmias. My post-doctoral research project, funded by the Whitaker International Program, a grant from the Lefoulon-Delalande Foundation, and more recently, the National Research Agency (ANR), focuses mainly on developing and using large-scale computer models of the human heart to better understand and test anti-arrhythmic treatments. Specifi cally, I use these new digital tools to determine low-energy, pain-free defi brillation strategies in patients at risk for ventricular fi brillation and optimize ablation strategies in patients with atrial fi brillation. Obviously, the excellence of the cardiology teams in Bordeaux is an essential and invaluable condition for carrying out these major projects that respond to public health issues.

After graduating in theories of communication at the University of Florence in Italy, I obtained a European doctorate in Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Verona in collaboration with the University Pierre and Marie Curie of Paris. My thesis dealt with "Mental health in Europe: the need for a common language, standard classifi cation criteria and off icial communication." Following this work on access to mental health services, their geographic distribution, and the use of the Internet as a means of information on this subject, I joined the Bordeaux Population Health research center as a post-doctoral student in 2014. My current research projects are in the fi eld of digital health communication. For the last three years, IdEx Bordeaux has allowed me to focus my research on the use of Internet for healthcare access for young people. In December 2015, I won a €50,000 project to create a smart application geolocating healthcare institutions of interest to students in Bordeaux: the "served-Share" project within the i-Share cohort.

France attracted me because of the excellent international reputation of CNRS researchers in sol-gel chemistry. American by birth, I pursued my doctorate in Australia. My work on materials allows me to access a post-doctorate at the laboratory of Condensed Matter Chemistry in Paris (LCMCP), where I learned the shaping of materials. During my second postdoctoral fellowship at the Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry in Toulouse (LCC), I acquired a range of skills in synthesizing nanoparticles away from air and water. These skills allowed me to develop the nano-bricks required by the Bordeaux meta-materials community to synthesize silicon nanoparticles using chemistry, a major challenge for materials science. LabEx AMADEus believed in my complex and risky project when others thought it impossible. The support and solidarity of this community have sustained my position within the Bordeaux scientifi c ecosystem through a junior chair in 2016 at the Bordeaux Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry (ICMCB). This acceptance of risk, added to the expertise of colloidal physicists and chemists, brings us closer every day to the ultimate goal: to design materials that are ready to revolutionize optics through the construction of nanostructured silicon.

Photonics is understanding, probing and modifying matter using photons and is becoming increasingly important in our society. In this context, LAPHIA aims to unite academic and industrial communities around innovative projects in lasers, imaging and materials. This center of excellence is one of the most prominent laser and photonics centers at a European and international level, attracting a lot of interest from students, researchers and private companies.

Perform the first diagnostics for the PETAL laser on the Megajoule Laser Interaction Chamber (LMJ). There are four diagnoses (SPECTIX: X-ray spectrometer, SEPAGE: Thomson ion and electron parabolic spectrometer SESAME: non-magnetic defibrillation electron spectrometer, CRACC: X-ray module) and their insertion system (SID). These systems will be able to probe the plasmas created by PETAL or use the radiation sources created by PETAL to probe the targets irradiated by the megajoule laser and will allow the academic scientific community to access new physical regimes.

After three years of post-doctoral studies in Athens on the study of new materials for non-linear optics, I joined the Institute of Molecular Sciences of Bordeaux (ISM) in 2009. Since my arrival in Bordeaux, my research into the creation of new materials in photonics aims to reveal new physio-chemical properties by studying electric or optical polarization mechanisms on new glass compositions. Today, I have written more than

70 publications, fi led 3 patents and obtained a Research Leadership Accreditation (HDR) in 2016. As a member of the LAPHIA Cluster, in November 2016 I received the CNRS bronze medal for my work at the frontier of fundamental and applied research to design new glassy or amorphous systems to structure their properties in both a multi-functional and multi-scale way.

Financial commitment planThe IdEx Bordeaux Management Board is responsible for implementing the program in accordance with the principles established and approved by the government. Its multi-year scheduling and monitoring tool is the "Commitment Plan" which is revised on a semi-annual basis. The latest commitment plan in the probationary period, e�ective 31 December 2016, is the 13th version (P13). It is structured according to three lines of action:

- Action 1: resources dedicated to conducting structural projects and multiannual programs;- Action 2: mutual support actions for projects and programs;- Action 3: engineering and governance of IdEx and PIA.

A new commitment plan will be launched in the 2017-2020 phase of IdEx Bordeaux. However, given the multi-year nature of IdEx's actions, the execution of P13 is scheduled through 2019. In addition, the University of Bordeaux and its partners have committed to co-finance the IdEx Bordeaux investment plan by allocating a minimum of €2 of its own resources for each euro invested. An external co-financing objective of €1 for €1 of IdEx has also been set.
