The exploratory Priority Research Programmes and Infrastructures (PEPR) programme entitled "Sous-sol, bien commun" (The Subsurface, a Common Good), to be run jointly by BRGM and the CNRS, took place in Paris on 13 February 2023. It was available on video.

A research programme for the responsible use and sustainable exploitation of the subsurface

With the growing need to better understand the resources and uses of the subsurface, the PEPR programme entitled "The subsurface, a common good" aims to develop subsurface knowledge and its uses in France.

The launch day provided an opportunity to present and discuss the challenges, aims and objectives of the programme.
