LIFE OF INTERNATIONAL
RESEARCHERS IN THE REGION
CENTRE-VAL DE LOIRE
Life of international researchers in RCVL 2020
In all regional cities (Blois, Bourges, Chartres, Orléans
and Tours) LE STUDIUM Research Fellows benefit
from exceptional living and working conditions. Well
established research institutions and laboratories
offer their office and equipment facilities and LE
STUDIUM offers fully furnished residences and highquality
integration support and assistance. During
their residency time in the region, each of them has the
opportunity to attend many international events and to
organise at least a major one.
In Orléans where LE STUDIUM headquarters are
located, Research Fellows are regularly welcomed in the
heart of the city in the prestigious Hôtel Dupanloup, the
International University Centre for Research. This 16th
century former bishop’s residence has been brightly
renovated using patrimony’s architects and designers’
talents and offers a prestigious modern and ancient
decor to all scientific events. Walking distance from
the Hôtel Dupanloup in Orléans, LE STUDIUM houses
Research Fellows in a newly renovated castle of the 18th
century, Le Chateau de la Motte Sanguin. This impressive
building offers seven apartments with a view over the
Loire river, a terrace and a garden in which to relax. In
the dynamic city of Tours, LE STUDIUM maintains a few
private residencies in the city centre. Tours is a university
town with a highly developed touristic and cultural offer.
Every year social and networking events are organised
giving international LE STUDIUM Fellows and visitors a
chance to discover more of the regional scientific and
cultural environment, deepen their scientific knowledge
in a wide spectrum of disciplines and enter into instructive
interdisciplinary exchanges.
