Université Marie et Louis Pasteur - Direction de la Recherche, de la Valorisation et de l'Innovation

The Directorate for Research Development and Innovation (DRVI) is the university’s one-stop shop for the development of research projects.

Its missions are:

• Supporting research teams: information, communication, integration

• Raising awareness and providing information: monitoring, communication

• Advising and supporting: project development and project follow-up
