The project "ARCUS 2006 - Ecology and sustainable development, Languedoc-Roussillon/China"
(2007-2010)


Following contacts with the Shanghai Municipality, the French Ministry of Foreign and European affairs (MAEE) entrusted Agropolis International with a feasibility study of the conditions to build a scientific partnership about ecology and environment. This study resulted in a project submitted to the call for proposals ARCUS (Actions en Régions de Coopération Universitaire et Scientifique), which was approved late 2006.

 

The project is co-funded in equal shares by the MAEE and the Languedoc-Roussillon Regional Government (total French budget: 500 000 euros). The aim of this project is to promote scientific exchanges between French and Chinese teams.

Agropolis International is the master-builder and is in charge of both financial and scientific management and coordination.
