A scientific and professional council was set up within Mission Val de Loire in early 2012. It has 17 members from the various scientific fields and occupations that Mission Val de Loire's broad spectrum of activities encompasses, as well as from the main universities and research entities in the two Regions concerned. Members sit on the committee in a personal capacity.

How it works

Beyond the plenary sessions which are held twice a year, the members of the CSP take part in a range of work groups and lend their support to the actions developed by Mission Val de Loire.

Work has already begun on several themes:

Links between the economy/landscape/heritage;
Participation of residents;
The contributions that contemporary artistic creation can make to the Loire Valley cultural landscape and its management;
Rivercraft, navigation;
Heritage up against the flooding risk.
