The European summer school 2005 provided the opportunity to launch the International Institute for Rivers and Cultural Heritage to an audience of chosen delegates, academics, lay persons and students.
The concept of the Institute has been in existence since the
inclusion of the Val de Loire on the list of World Heritage sites.
The Institute’s mission is to create a federation of current
skills, especially within the various universities of the Loire
region, in the areas of study and development of the heritage of
river corridors. The aim is to optimise research and develop a
training service and international expertise in this area.
The year 2005 marks the turning point for the Institute as it
enters its operational phase, after two years of preparatory work.
Three lines of work have been retained: training, research and
expertise.
Training: Training programmes are aimed both at
students in their initial stages of training as well as
professionals interested in continuing their development.
Research: The aim of the Institute is to promote
and support scientific activity within its areas of competence. A
support policy has been introduced which allows the allocation of
financial support to cover visits by key figures or researchers, of
any nationality, who intend to carry out work in the Val de Loire.
The support policy also offers bursaries for research on subjects
within the remit of the Institute, but carried out within partner
institutions.
Expertise: The Institute has been formed to gather
together scientific and technical skills and knowledge. Two types
of projects can be clearly defined: those concerning scientific
cooperation and development aid those financed by international
sponsors.
The Institute is central to a network, and aims to be the
driving force behind the mobilisation of expertise within each of
its partners.
The Institute’s founding partners are:
- The Centre region
- The Pays de la Loire region
- The state - by means of the Plan Loire Grandeur Nature, an environmental management plan for the river
- The UNESCO World Heritage Centre
- University of Angers
- Catholic University of the West (UCO)
- University of Nantes
- University of Orléans
- University of Tours
- BRGM – Office for geological and mining research (Orléans)
- INH – National Horticultural Institute (Angers)
