This research project proposes an analysis of policies and provision relevant to “active orientation” in the form of three broad subjects:

1. The degree of autonomy of French policies with respect to proactive decisions of the European Commissionconcerning  its orientation;
2. The modifications that these policies and provisions are susceptible to introducing in the network of actors participating in their elaboration and implementation;
3. The way in which these policies and actions influence the representation of studies and institutions of higher education, as well as the choice of the orientation of youth.
