Flagship Actions for 2023-2024

An Enlightening Look at Current Issues

In the fall of 2023, ORES launched the thematic dossier Financial Access to Education: What are the Conditions for Student Success?  This topic, which was the backdrop of ORES’ activities and publications in 2023-2024, resonated with several current concerns.

In addition to financial access to education, many other components of student success were covered by ORES’ publications and activities. More than 70 information monitoring articles were published and the directory of inspiring practices was enhanced. In the spring of 2024, ORES also launched a new type of publication entitled Wide Angle. Offering a space for theoretical and critical perspectives, Wide Angle aims to deepen strategic thinking and to facilitate action in response to emerging challenges.

A Bridge Between Research and Practice  

The year 2023-2024 was also an opportunity to continue the development and distribution of Relais, The popular scientific journal on success in higher education. Six articles proposing several courses of action were published as part of this collection, which takes a multidisciplinary look at student success. Each author has received personalized support from ORES to make their text better suited to the needs of the readership.

Meeting with You

In the past year, in addition to completing an overhaul of its Steering Committee, which culminated with the welcoming of several new members, ORES has multiplied its meetings and collaborations. These meetings inspired the team in the development of activities and content that are ever more appropriately rooted in the realities of the community. 

In the winter of 2024, the Observatory also launched a survey among its target audiences to document their expectations and needs regarding information and support, as well as their appreciation of ORES’ activities and publications. The results of this consultation are now informing ORES’ reflections on the upcoming initiatives to be prioritized.
