🚀 A look back at the Hackathon 2025 project presentations! 🌍🎓

This afternoon, our student teams had the opportunity to defend their proposals in front of an exceptional jury, made up of Christophe ALAUX, director of theInstitute of Public Management and Territorial Governance and the A&NMT Chair, @Nathalie Boisset, Julie Hampartzoumian and ROLAND CATHEBRAS, representatives of the City of Aix-en-Provence, as well as Fabrice Dalongeville, Mayor of Auger St Vincent (Oise), Territorial Marketing consultant and campaigner for the attractiveness of rural areas!

As a reminder, the theme of this year's hackathon was: attracting, welcoming and anchoring students in Aix-en-Provence!

Divided into four teams, they explored specific expectations and needs concerning:
📌 Students native to Aix-en-Provence,
📌 Students from other departments in France,
📌 International students,
📌 Students from other major university cities (benchmark).

Their proposals were particularly relevant and comprehensive. Each group took an innovative approach to the challenges of attracting, welcoming and retaining students in the Aix area, with concrete, well-structured solutions.

Thanks to our speakers for their constructive feedback, and thanks to the M2 ANMT and MCP students for their involvement in this exercise! 👏
