Strengthening collaboration within the Orléans scientific community 

With the overall objective of extending the scope of scientific research and reinforcing collaborative work, the Orléans scientific community wished to develop the concept of Orléans Grand Campus, a collaborative space dedicated to scientific innovation in five thematic fields of major importance to society: Earth & Space, Energy & Materials, Living Organisms & Health, The Humanities & Society, and Computerization & Data. 

The aim of bringing together these research players is to create a privileged space for scientific cross-fertilization between the academic world and all economic stakeholders at the regional, national and international levels. 

Orléans Grand Campus bears witness to the dynamic activity of the scientific community in the Orléans area and the Communauté d'Université et d'Etablissements Centre-Val de Loire (ComUE CVL). 

Opening of a website 

On the occasion of the Science Festival, BRGM, CHRO, CNRS, INRA Centre Val de Loire and the University of Orléans, with the support of Orléans Métropole, launched a website to showcase the assets and projects of Orléans Grand Campus. 

The website has been officially open since 14 October 2017, the first of BRGM's open days for the 26th edition of the Science Festival.
