1 BRGM THE FRENCH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

2 UNDERSTANDING geological phenomena THE FRENCH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IS FRANCE S LEADING PUBLIC INSTITUTION WORKING IN EARTH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE RESOURCES AND RISKS. ITS ACTIVITIES ARE GEARED TO - SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, - SUPPORT TO PUBLIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND - INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. DEVELOPING new methodologies and techniques. PRODUCING and disseminating data to support the management of soils, subsoils and their resources. DELIVERING the necessary tools for managing soils, subsoils and their resources, preventing risks and pollution and developing climate change policies. Over 1000 staff including more than 700 engineers and researchers

3 A PUBLIC INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL INSTITUTION THE BRGM WORKS UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF: - THE MINISTRY FOR EDUCATION, HIGHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH, - THE MINISTRY FOR ENVIRONNEMENT, ENERGY AND THE SEA, - THE MINISTRY FOR THE ECONOMY, INDUSTRY AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY. CERTIFICATION AND ACCREDITATION ISO 9001 QUALITY STANDARD SINCE 2004, ISO ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STANDARD SINCE 2012.

6 5 YEAR PERFORMANCE CONTRACT The State-BRGM performance contract sets 5 key goals to the institution. 1. Ensure excellence in scientific output and develop partnerships in response to the challenges of sustainability and global change. 2. Mobilise and disseminate scientific knowledge and build up expert knowledge to support public policy development. 3. Forge a proactive policy geared to innovation and the development and transfer of applications to support economic activities. 4. Strengthen the BRGM Group's international activities to increase its know-how. 5. Adapt BRGM competences and practices to support scientific output geared to sustainable development. 28 performance indicators

7 KEY ROLES SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Scientific research at the BRGM is focused on furthering geological knowledge and understanding surface and subsurface phenomena. The BRGM s scientific research is conducted through: projects with state funding (grants for public service expenses), projects with multiple co-financing (regional and European), partnerships with targeted funding agencies, responses to calls for proposals from the ministries, fast-track research development under contracts with industries. Scientific Research M

8 KEY ROLES SUPPORT TO PUBLIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT Support to public policy development includes expert assessments, monitoring and studies with the State, local authorities, agencies and public institutions. Surface and subsurface observation, building and disseminating knowledge. Methodological studies and syntheses to support transfers of research results to civil society. Independent public expert studies. Training and knowledge transfer. A national committee representing the BRGM s supervisory ministries sets out overall guidelines for its activities to support public policy development. A national programming body addresses needs expressed by national and regional partners. 95 contracts with local government bodies Support to public policy development M

9 KEY ROLES INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION The BRGM works across the globe towards protection for people and sustainable management of resources. Two key lines of action: protecting people and their environment against natural risks, ensuring that high quality natural resources - water, minerals and (geothermal) energy - are available. Internationally as in France, the BRGM supplies know-how and expertise, particularly in areas relating to "geological infrastructure", mineral resources, access to water, natural risks and geothermal energy. Active in 28 countries (67% of activity in Africa) Export services 7 M

11 KEY ROLES MINE SAFETY In 2006, the French State handed responsibility to the BRGM for the management of surveillance and safety work and for the prevention of mine-related risks and pollution in former mining sites. Main objectives : safety for people and property in former mining areas, maintaining technical mining competences for this purpose. The BRGM is responsible in particular for: mine safety engineering work, as delegate project manager, surveillance of mining site facilities, for compliance with the Mining Code or the Environment Code, managing the post-mining information system, particularly of intermediate technical mining archives, and contributions to mining intelligence. Post-mining M

12 KEY ROLES TRAINING The BRGM disseminates its scientific competences and techniques through a range of courses. It also offers continuing professional training. BRGM Campus Higher education diploma courses in the geosciences, through training support and partnerships with higher education establishments. BRGM Training Professional training, through some sixty introductory and advanced courses in all geoscience fields. Training 1.19 M

14 BUILDING ON GEOLOGY AS ITS CORE COMPETENCE, BRGM DEVELOPS EXPERT KNOWLEDGE IN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, RISK MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATIVE ECOTECHNOLOGIES. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE ORGANISED INTO 10 MAIN TOPIC AREAS THAT ADDRESS DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES. GEOLOGY MINERAL RESOURCES GEOTHERMAL ENERGY GEOLOGICAL STORAGE OF CO 2 RISKS WATER ENVIRONMENT AND ECOTECHNOLOGIES LABORATORIES AND EXPERIMENTATION POST-MINING INFORMATION SYSTEMS

15 Furthering knowledge on geology is the BRGM s core role. As the French Geological Survey, the BRGM produces and disseminates geological information to cater for the needs of society.
