The Convention is made up of students in initial and continuing training, tenured and non-tenured teacher-researchers, administrative staff, former students and Inalco partners. Convention members are volunteers chosen by lottery on a voluntary basis. They sign a letter of commitment detailing their rights and responsibilities as Convention members, and committing them to participating in the Convention until the "Sustainable Development and Social Responsibility" (SD&RS) master plan is drawn up. Finally, they are divided into five working groups:

  1. Strategy and governance;
  2. Education and training;
  3. Research and innovation;
  4. Ecological impact of activities;
  5. Social policy and quality of life at work.

The Convention is run by a monitoring committee and a secretariat. The Monitoring Committee is made up of :

  • Julien Vercueil (Inalco's vice-president delegate for valorization and environmental responsibility),

  • Delphine Allès (Inalco's vice-president),

  • Valérie Liger-Belair (director general of services (DGS) at Inalco),

  • Vincent Chagniot (technical director of Inalco's Pôle des langues et civilisations).

The Convention's secretariat is provided by Dmitry Volkov (Inalco's Alternance unit).

The master plan is drawn up by the Convention members on the basis of readings, reflections, interviews, debates and collective writing. The conventioneers research and formulate action proposals in their respective working groups. They then meet once a month in plenary sessions to discuss their findings and vote on proposals. To ensure that the conventioneers are previously trained in DD&RS issues, they should have completed an online training course "B.A.-BA du climat et de la biodiversité" offered by the Cned.
