About Robert Chapuis

Born 1933. Robert Chapuis is a French politician and professor.

Robert Chapuis (born 7 May 1933 in Paris) is a French politician.

Chapuis served as vice-president of the National Union of Students of France (UNEF) from 1955 to April 1956, during which time he was responsible for union branches in the French overseas territories. As former head of Jeunesse Étudiante Chrétienne (JEC), a Christian student youth organization, he played a major role in the shifting post-colonial focus of the UNEF. He was the National Secretary of the Unified Socialist Party (PSU) from 26 November 1973 to 14 December 1974. His time as secretary came to an end when, alongside Michel Rocard, he defected to the Socialist Party (PS).

In 1983, he proposed a law on the creation of a parliamentary office to evaluate scientific and technological options, OPECST. During this period his parliamentary attaché was Manuel Valls.

In 1988 and 1991 during the government of Prime Minister Michel Rocard, he served as Secretary of State in the Ministry of Education, where he was responsible for technological education.

He was vice-president of the General Council of the Ardèche, mayor of the city of Teil, and the deputy parliamentary member representing the Ardèche. He is now retired from political office but still active with the PS and often comments on political issues.
