The Professions and Qualifications Campus “Plant-based Biorefinery and Industrial Biotechnologies in the Grand Est Region” (CMQ BVBI), headed by the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA) in partnership with the Academy of Reims, DRAAF and the Grand Est regional authority, received official recognition from the Ministry of National Education and Research on 9 February 2017 and was inaugurated on 1 February 2019 at the premises of URCA.
The objective of the project is to unite local authorities and institutions and industrial companies involved in industrial biotechnologies around the growing field of the bioeconomy.
The CMQ BVBI has set itself multiple main objectives:
- To cement the position of the sector in the region in order to turn the Grand Est region into a leader in the field;
- To promote economic development in the Grand Est region via this sector and to establish an international profile;
- To contribute to the permanent settlement within the region of active populations in areas of depopulation and attract innovative companies in the sector which can fill the need for graduates – at all qualification levels – proficient and well-suited to their professional expectations;
- To raise the qualification levels of trainees and facilitate their professional integration.
The Campus is based on an industry and research (academic and private sector) already organised in a federative structure and also on a network of establishments already partially federated, providing a total of 77 training courses relating to the themes of the Campus.
The main objective is to promote the sector throughout the Grand Est with shared ambition: to become a European benchmark in the bioeconomy.
