Jean-Philippe Mignaton

My name is Jean-Philippe Mignaton, Social Media Manager at Université Paris-Est Créteil (UPEC), France.  In July 2024, I had the great opportunity to spend 3 days at Universität Innsbruck (UIBK) as part of an individual international exchange program for UPEC staff.

I chose UIBK for its similarity in size and organization to UPEC and its membership in the Aurora Alliance. The goal was to meet with my counterparts working on the university's social media to compare our strategies, methodologies, processes, and tools. It was an enriching experience, both professionally and personally, adding real value to my role and providing a concrete understanding of the European dimension while realizing that our challenges are often similar.

I would like to thank the entire team at Universität Innsbruck, especially the Aurora Office team, for organizing this wonderful stay, their warm welcome, and the great memories we shared.

In conclusion, this is a professional experience I highly recommend to all my UPEC colleagues, and I sincerely hope to repeat it soon at another Aurora university.
