Abstract

In this final chapter of this book, we present current trends in French higher education, including ComUE (“Communauté d’Universités et d’Établissements), ANR (“Agence Nationale de la Recherche”), HALSHS (“Hyper Archives en Ligne en Sciences Humaines et Sociales”) and national infrastructures serving a knowledge-based society. France’s three Grandes écoles are replaced in this new landscape, with its international—not national—boundaries, and we show the pertinence of the Condorcet philosophy of education within this new world colonized by virtual actors. Therefore, we stress in this closing chapter the importance of knowledge in any political revolution, as well as the relationship between education and power throughout history.
