BRGM is the French public institution of reference for Earth Sciences, recognized nationally as a leading authority on surface and sub-surface resources and risks. Its work spans three main activities: scientific research, support for government policy, and international cooperation and development assistance. BRGM has solid experience managing and coordinating research projects under ANR and European programmes (FP6, FP7, H2020), and makes scientific data and methodologies publicly available to help manage natural-hazard problems and territorial-development policy.
