Hervé Biausser succeeds Javier Uceda, Rector of the Universidad Politecnica of Madrid, for a 2‐year mandate. The T.I.M.E. Association was founded in 1989 by the École Centrale Paris and 15 other European Universities of excellence. The principal activity of T.I.M.E. is double‐degree student exchanges. Its objective is to train multicultural engineers, perfectly adapted to the international careers offered by companies. “I am delighted and honoured to assume the presidency of this network of very prestigious institutions in which the École Centrale has always considerably invested and which is one of the pillars of our international development” said Hervé Biausser, adding “we have defined a road map to accompany the Association in a new phase of development; notably for the launch of doctorates under the T.I.M.E. label and the pursuit of our opening up to partners outside Europe. T.I.M.E. must also position itself as a space for projects in the field of international pedagogy”. Today, T.I.M.E. has 53 members in Europe, Asia and South America. 3500 students have benefited from T.I.M.E. double‐degree agreements since 1989.
