Created in November 2020, the Anime network (Academic Network on Inclusiveness, multilingualism and Excellence) is led by the Vice President Europe and International Relations, Professor Irini Tsamadou-Jacoberger. Formalised in the framework of the IDEX programme "Internationalisation of the institution. From bilateral cooperation to network cooperation', the network is oriented towards higher education institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, with which the University of Strasbourg has so far made little use of its cooperation opportunities. Anime is thus intended to be a collective springboard for moving forward together in terms of reflection and experimentation: educational innovation, projects of excellence, exchanges of good practices, based on common values.
