In an international framework characterised by changing regulatory regimes
and increasing harsh competition, research and innovation are key factors
to ensure smart specialisation and sustainable economic development of
territories and stakeholders. In the very well-established perfume and
cosmetic industry of the Centre-Val de Loire region, the COSMETOSCIENCES
programme aims at giving a significant impetus to research projects with a
strong character of innovation to unlock industrial development blockages by
opening the door to new concepts and enabling the creation of new startups.
It fosters French leadership in the sector and the leadership of the Centre-Val
de Loire region, particularly with regard to sustainable cosmetics.
Anchored in the Centre-Val de Loire region, this project revolves around the
structuring of research at the national level on this cosmetic theme, including
the research group (GDR) Cosmactifs, set up by CNRS in January 2015. It brings
forty-eight laboratories together and is driven by the University of Orléans.
Focused on economic development, this project shares in the international
influence of the French cosmetics industry across the region Centre-Val de
Loire.
Together with the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster and in conjunction
with the cosmetic industry, the programme creates the centre of expertise
for the cosmetics Industry. Located at the very heart of the territory covered
by Cosmetic Valley, its mission is to support business growth in the perfume
and cosmetics sector with research, training and development activities
and services specifically targeting very small and medium sized enterprises
(VSEs and SMEs). The We Lab Cosmetic incubator and training laboratory was
successfully established.
The programme focused on three complementary developmental axes:
Cosmétopée and Sustainable Cosmetic
Glycochemistry and Glycobiology
Innovation in Formulation, Cellular Tools and Technologies
The programme is funded by the Region Centre-Val de Loire for the period
2015-2020.
An interdisciplinary research programme dedicated to innovation, training
and scientific development, Intelligence des Patrimoines offers a new
understanding of cultural and natural heritage.
INTELLIGENCE DES PATRIMOINES is an interdisciplinary scientific research
and innovation programme serving the tourism heritage economy in the Centre-
Val de Loire region and offering new education and employment perspectives.
It consists in an unprecedented approach to the promotion of the territory
combining the scientific research with the socio-economic world to design
new innovative services and products. It reunites the efforts of thirty-three
laboratories and three hundred and sixty researchers from Tours and Orléans,
led by the Centre for Higher Studies of the Renaissance (CESR) in Tours.
The Intelligence des Patrimoines Programme is articulated around five
major interdisciplinary topic projects of research for the development of
interdisciplinary scientific activities:
Chambord Chateaux
Vine and Wine
Gastronomy, Health and Wellbeing
Loire and Rivers
Monuments, Parks and Urban Gardens
and proposes a transversal heterogenous digital data platform that collects
and presents all developed activities and products (HeritageS platform). It
offers new multidisciplinary and professional training courses at Master and
Research Doctoral levels (École supérieure en Intelligence des Patrimoines)
and has created a thematic academic incubator – the Smart Tourism Lab
- for the development of startups on the regional territory and to support
entrepreneurial projects dedicated to promote and renew the tourist
experience around heritage. Through a unique transdisciplinary approach, it
has developed valorization and mediation tools offering new experiences for
visitors.
The programme is funded by the Centre-Val de Loire Regional Council for the
period 2015-2021. A continuation of this programme for the period 2021-24 is
under development.
