Although the University of Rouen has been around for only a short while compared to others, it is necessary to research to truly comprehend all that has happened in the past fifty years. When discussing the history of a university in general, various questions arise both implicitly and explicitly. For instance, how does a university transmit knowledge, professional skills, and expertise? Who are the transmitters of these competencies? Who is on the receiving end? There are questions more explicit like how does one manage and organize a university? What is the mission of the university, and how does it play a role in society? Establishing and maintaining a university requires team-work, collaboration, creativity, all the while encouraging individual liberty! It is also necessary to analyze the environment, regional partners, and influences both nationally and internationally.
Overall, when discussing the University of Rouen's history, many angles need to be considered, starting with regional development, then national, and ultimately international. The University of Rouen was founded in 1966, but the history dates years before.
From 1960-1970, the University of Rouen was planned and created. This period was notable for spreading the university's word and mission throughout the region despite geographic barriers like the plateau Mont Riboudet. During 1980-1990, the university reanalyzed the question of expansion. In the 2000s, it decided to establish other campuses around the Normandy region that permitted more students to study on the wider variety of formation options, training programs, and certifications.
After WWII, there was a surge of universities established all over the world. This wave of universities was more extensive than any other in years precedent. The University of Rouen was a part of the great wave of universities established after the war. These universities were considered new, modern, and fresh because they sought to attain and transmit a specific mission and vision. It was a vision of peace, harmony, democratization, and development.
Optimism, innovation, and charismatic leadership were also characteristic of this period. Such a vision was not shared in traditional French universities, but the University of Rouen was one of many that decided to move forward and promote this vision.
The universities established in France during the 1960s were considered new and fresh, referring to the physical age of the buildings and the mentality and spirit that came along with it. This spirit included innovative ideas, ambitions, and motivations. It offered students a new way to analyze and evaluate the world around them in such a way that had not been common years before. Not only that, the 1960s offered more opportunities to study for young adults from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds.
The University of Rouen is located in Normandy, offering a rich history to all that visit. Now, as a student in Normandy, you too can visit the beaches, take a step inside old German bunkers still preserved, and envision the battle that has impacted so many lives.
