From ideas to materialization.

Is small always beautiful?

Is it better to be irreproducible or to be a leader emulated worldwide?

Key principles for a successful and long term cooperation.

Our common thread through this keynote discussion will be the case study of the ESBS…

rgCase study: Strasbourg Graduate School of Biotechnology (ESBS)

Jean-Marc Jeltsch April 23rd2015

www.unistra.fr4

The right place for a tri-national curriculum.

ESBS is an international school providing German, French and Swiss students with a French engineering diploma in biotechnology.

This trilingual curriculum allows the diploma to be recognized in the three countries. ESBS students are also required to spend two to six weeks in the School's partner universities (Basel and Freiburg).

Most of the courses are taught in Strasbourg and in French, German and English.

The School works closely with the industry: scientists from various companies are involved in the courses.

Jean-Marc Jeltsch April 23rd2015

“I am very proud of the ESBS also because its a sort of material achievement - research is often non material. It provides its students with the chance to use the brain to improve life for mankind.”

Prof. Pierre Chambon, co-founder of the ESBS

“ESBS students are educated to deal with multicultural experiences. As a HR responsible, I can say: ESBS students are trained to be problem solvers and solutions finders.”

Christian Döhring, ESBS Alumni, Promo 1992

rgFive principles for a successful partnership

(adapted from Guy Pelletier** - Université de Montréal – Québec)

Jean-Marc Jeltsch April 23rd2015

www.unistra.fr8

1. Partners share a mutual interest It’s essential to envisage a viable common life

2. Partners are equal A partnership doesn’t rely on hierarchy

3. Each of the Partners remains autonomousAny of the partners engages itself on its own and acts freely.

4. Partners cooperate effectively A given program can only meet success when driven by a true and sincere

cooperation of all the partners

5. Partners and partnership are expected to evolve A partnership is always evolving during a joint work program and in some cases can

run to an end, in other situations can led to a new challenge, but in all situations, Partners should have progressed.
