The 16 January 2023 - Orléans (BRGM)

For its launch, the ARD JUNON programme, which aims to develop a digital research centre on the environment in the Centre-Val de Loire region, will be holding a conference at BRGM in Orléans on Monday 16 January 2023.

The JUNON programme, digital twins working for natural resources in the Centre-Val de Loire region

At a time of digital and environmental transition, the Centre-Val de Loire Region and its partners have set their sights on creating a unique and innovative digital centre dedicated to the environment and the management of natural resources. The culmination of this project is the development of digital twins on water, ground and air using the latest developments in artificial intelligence.

The JUNON programme, led by BRGM, is part of the regional “Centre-Val de Loire Ambition Research Development” scheme. This ambitious programme to develop a digital centre for research on the continental environment (agricultural, urban, forests and rivers) in the Centre-Val de Loire region aims to design digital services to improve monitoring and understanding of the environment, for better management of natural resources.
