Missions

The European Research and International Cooperation Department coordinates all the CNRS's activities aimed at structuring and consolidating the research area in the European Union working in close collaboration with the CNRS office in Brussels. It also implements the tools required to support bilateral, European or international partnerships in the framework of the CNRS's international cooperation policy. The DERCI supports research units that develop structuring projects with partner organisations and universities in other countries.
