Renault, partner of World Higher Education Challenge, Saturday 6 june at Charléty Stadium

• On 6 June 2015, Renault will be taking part, alongside some 7,000 students and young graduates from more than 300 business schools, engineering schools and universities across France, in the World Higher Education Challenge at the the Charléty Stadium in Paris.
• This operation brings a further illustration of Renault's youth commitment, in a year that sees the company recruiting 1,000 employees on permanent contracts and 1,000 apprentices in France.

Through this partnership, more than a hundred Renault employees of every age, background and job function will be working together during a day-long sports and information event with the aim of inspiring a young audience with their enthusiasm and know-how, and guiding them in their early career choices.
The World Higher Education Challenge is a major schedule fixture, not only for students and young graduates but for companies, business schools, engineering schools and universities too.
It takes the form of an all-day meeting combining sports competitions, a careers forum manned by leading companies, and workshops on disability. The festive atmosphere is highly conducive to informal dialogue.

Jean Agulhon, Renault HR director, France : “This partnership seemed a very natural step for us to take. First because the event addresses students from universities as well as business and engineering schools; this extended spectrum of academic backgrounds chimes with our corporate culture and its emphasis on broad horizons and a strong attachment to unfettered ideas. Second, because it combines a festive atmosphere with the challenge inherent to sport. The values expressed through sport —passion, commitment, endeavour, team spirit, solidarity— are values that Renault nurtures. Third, because the focus on disability also ties in directly with our human resources policy.”

Renault at the 2015 World Higher Education Challenge: a collective commitment!

- Expert information on Renault's huge career scope
- Interviews with HR managers for students interested in a career with Renault
- Mailbox for applicants' CVs
- Special feature on innovation in our vehicle design processes

Unique exhibition, 6 June at Charléty: EOLAB, the 1-litre-per-100-km prototype
Visitors to Charléty will be able to admire the EOLAB 1-litre-per100-km prototype, fresh out of our engineering workshops.
EOLAB is an astounding engineering feat, harnessing around a hundred specific technological innovations to achieve fuel consumption of just one litre per hundred kilometres (for CO2 emissions of 22 g per km on the NEDC combined cycle).
It combines advanced technologies in aerodynamics, proportions and interior layout to offer a foretaste of the Renaults we'll be seeing tomorrow.
Throughout the event on 6 June, the experts who designed and developed EOLAB will be there alongside the vehicle to answer visitors' questions.
