UCA is striving to be a catalyst that will transform its territory. As the facilitator of a diff erent mode of thought, of entrepreneurship, of research and development, UCA offers a fundamental rethinking of relationships between partners.\A rapid assessment of the French university system shows that, in spite of its diversity and richness, it is not ready for the current context of discontinuity. Rather, it is set up along rigid lines; and thisin a world where it is becoming crucial to be flexible and reactive, to encourage risk-taking and environments in which talent can bloom.\The question is indeed one of excellence; however the excellence needs to possess agility in its processes.\\Keeping in mind the two goals of excellence and agility in all of its actions, the challenge facing UCA is to develop and reinforce the site's advantages, to overcome identifi ed weaknesses, to structure and to increase the consortium's visibility around the world.
