The Head Opener
Content Type: Page
Activities and Objectives of the Association
Founded in 2006 by a group of students convinced of the fundamental role that each and every person plays in society, Ouvre-Tête is committed to helping everyone take an active role in shaping the future they desire. Today, the association brings together people from diverse backgrounds: students from all universities, employees, recipients of RSA benefits, volunteers… Far from any particular ideology, we aim to get minds thinking. We want information to flow and reflection to take place.
Opening minds means, above all, enabling people to meet and exchange ideas so that everyone can form their own opinions. It means fighting against indifference and resignation. To this end, our main areas of focus are raising awareness about social and environmental issues. We strive to address these issues from various perspectives: scientific, sociological, political, educational… Through practical actions, we also advocate for certain values such as empowerment, non-commercial or solidarity-based exchange, and the promotion of agriculture that respects nature…

Donnez du sens à votre vie étudiante : rejoignez une asso !
Avec de nombreuses associations étudiantes, la vie sur les campus de l’UM ne manque ni de dynamisme ni de diversité ! Que vous souhaitiez vous investir dans la culture, le sport, l’humanitaire, l’écologie ou plutôt dans votre filière, il y a forcément une association pour vous.
S’engager dans une asso universitaire, c’est bien plus qu’une simple activité : c’est une opportunité de s’intégrer, de rencontrer des étudiants de différentes filières, mais aussi de développer de nouvelles compétences au-delà de la formation académique. S’engager dans une asso, c’est s’ouvrir au monde, s’épanouir dans sa vie étudiante et favoriser sa réussite universitaire.
Les associations jouent un rôle clé dans le rayonnement de l’Université de Montpellier. Elles contribuent à l’animation des campus, améliorent le quotidien étudiant et offrent un véritable terrain d’apprentissage et d’expériences pour celles et ceux qui s’y investissent.

Créer, Domicilier, Gérer : les clés pour bien démarrer
1. Avant de se lancer
Pourquoi créer une asso ?
Créer une association étudiante répond à plusieurs objectifs :
Faciliter l’intégration : rejoindre une association permet de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes et de s’intégrer plus facilement à la vie du campus.
Exprimer ses passions et défendre des causes : que ce soit à travers des activités culturelles, sportives ou engagées, l’association est un espace propice à l’expression et à l’action.
Valoriser son engagement : l’expérience associative est un atout à mettre en avant tout au long du parcours universitaire, en particulier lors de la recherche d’un stage ou d’un emploi.
Développer des compétences : l’engagement associatif permet de développer des compétences clés comme la gestion de projet, le travail en équipe ou la prise de parole en public. Gérer une association, c’est apprendre à organiser des événements, gérer un budget, communiquer efficacement… Des aptitudes précieuses pour le monde professionnel.

Choisir un objectif et définir un statut
Avant de se lancer dans la création d’une association, certaines démarches sont indispensables pour s’assurer de son officialisation et garantir son bon fonctionnement.
Avant tout, il faut définir un nom, un objectif ainsi que des membres fondateurs. La loi du 1er juillet 1901, sur la liberté d’association, fixe un cadre juridique et encadre le fonctionnement des associations. Pour créer votre association, il sera nécessaire de procéder à certaines étapes, dont la rédaction des statuts. Ces derniers, rédigés par les membres de l’association, permettent de définir son objectif et son bon fonctionnement.

2. Les démarches
Contacter le SVE et le BVE : première étape essentielle
Avant toute démarche, il est impératif de prendre contact avec le service vie étudiante (SVE) et le bureau de la vie étudiante (BVE) en joignant votre projet de statuts. Ils sont vos interlocuteurs principaux pour vous accompagner tout au long du processus de création d’une association étudiante.
Après relecture et vérification de vos statuts, un rendez-vous vous sera proposé avec le SVE et le BVE.
Déclaration en préfecture
La déclaration en préfecture ne peut se faire qu’après la validation des statuts par l’Université.Uniquement après celle-ci, vous pourrez réaliser votre déclaration en ligne.
Cette démarche consiste à remplir un formulaire et à transmettre les documents nécessaires. Une fois votre association enregistrée, elle recevra un numéro RNA et sera automatiquement inscrite au Journal Officiel (une formalité obligatoire et payante).
Domicilier son association à l’UM
La domiciliation détermine l’adresse administrative de l’association. C’est une condition obligatoire pour être reconnue comme une association étudiante de l’Université de Montpellier. Elle est gérée par le SVE de l’université.
Il existe deux cas de figure :
Pour les associations de filière (rattachées à une UFR, école ou institut) :
Le SVE soumet la demande de domiciliation à la composante concernée pour passage en Conseil d’UEI (UFR, école ou institut).
Une fois l’avis favorable du conseil obtenu, le SVE transmet la demande de domiciliation au Conseil Académique de l’Université de Montpellier (CAC).
Les fondateurs et fondatrices de l’association doivent signer la charte des associations lorsque la demande de domiciliation a été approuvée par le CAC.
Pour les associations généralistes (non rattachée à une composante pédagogique de l’UM) :
La démarche se limite à une seule étape : le SVE soumet directement la demande de domiciliation au Conseil Académique de l’Université de Montpellier.
Dans les deux cas, la demande de domiciliation, accompagnée des statuts, doit être transmise par mail aux adresses suivantes :
For associations that have already been established but wish to register their address at the university, the process remains the same. All that is needed is to update the administrative address on file with the Prefecture and, if necessary, amend the bylaws.
Registering the association in the “Dossier Unique” application of theUM
Final step: Complete the “Dossier Unique,” which formalizes the creation of your association with the University via this link: “Dossier Unique / FSDIE.”
Note: An association with a registered address at the university may submit a request for the allocation of a space, subject to availability. On the Triolet campus, requests must be submitted to the SVE via email. For otherUM campuses, please contact your UEI (faculty, school, or institute).
Please note: Being registered at the University of Montpellier does not automatically entitle you to a meeting space; such allocation is subject to availability.
If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Campus Life.
3. Funding Your Project
Apply to the FSDIE:
The FSDIE (Fund to Support the Development of Student Initiatives) provides financial assistance for student projects related to campus life, such as culture, sports, and community service.
Would you like to obtain funding for a student organization project? Review the application process.
Ready to submit an application? Visit the “Home – Student Organizations” platform.
Get support from the Student Life Office: For each project, a meeting with the Student Life Office is required. Contact .
4. Organiser et gérer une asso
Outils pour gérer son asso :
Faire une demande de réservation de salle (pour les organisations étudiantes élues aux conseils centraux) : consulter la procédure.
Compléter les chartes et documents obligatoires, indispensables pour organiser des événements festifs conformes : Guide sur les événements festifs et d'intégration étudiants (enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr).
Des formations sont organisées par le BVE afin de présenter aux associations les services et dispositifs dédiés de l'université et de mettre à leur disposition toutes les clés pour une gestion efficace, une organisation responsable des événements et une sensibilisation à la prévention des discriminations.
