Presentation

The SUAC is in charge of implementing URCA’s cultural project which is validated by the University bodies (CEVU- CA) within the framework of the 4-year Contract.

Its missions:

• guarantee the integration of artistic and cultural practices in the programmes,
• organise campus events ( Campus en fête, Printemps des poètes…),
• create cultural events in University cities in partnership with cultural organisations,
• promote research in terms of patrimony,
• foster artistic practices and events,
• develop scientific culture.

SUAC Steering Committee:
Exchanges within the Piloting Committee define and adjust the main lines of cultural actions led by the Department. The Committee members are associated with the SUAC activities et and represent it on their Campus.

The SUAC is closely linked to CROUS Cultural Department, within the framework of a partnership connecting both departments for the cultural programmation on campuses and in University cities in the Champagne Ardenne region.

The SUAC is a member of A+U+C (Art + University + Culture), it has an Administrator seat in the Bureau and its Director is the Vice-President of A+U+C.
It therefore takes part in the actions of this Federation gathering the Cultural Departments of French Universities, the CROUS, Anima’fac… which enables exchanges with the practices of other departments, to obtain information on cultural policies and to suggest lines of action to the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Culture.

The SUAC is helped by the City of Reims, by the Champagne Ardenne Region, through ORCCA and DRAC.
