BRGM
BRGM (Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières, the French Geological Survey) is a French Public Institution responsible for mobilising the Earth Sciences in the sustainable management of georesources and the subsurface domain. BRGM employs over 1,100 people, including more than 700 researchers and engineers. BRGM activity covers the whole spectrum of the management of mineral resources, from fundamental research (e.g. ore forming processes, metallogenic syntheses, predictive mapping, etc.), including exploration, expertise, development of geological and mining data infrastructures, management of after mine problems, to raw material economy. Building on geology as its core competence, BRGM develops expert knowledge in resource management, risk management and innovative ecotechnologies. As a Carnot Institute, BRGM works in particular to increase publicprivate partnerships under highlevel scientific projects, strengthen the momentum of a network of partners in France, Europe and the world. The Georesources Division activity covers the whole spectrum of the management of mineral resources, from fundamental research (e.g. ore forming processes, metallogenic syntheses, predictive mapping, etc.), including exploration, expertise, development of geological and mining infrastructures, management of after mine problems, to raw material economy. Among others, this Division has a a strong experience in European projects: FP6 - BIOMINE, FP6 - Bioshale, FP7 - PROMINE, FP7 - Minerals4EU, FP7 - Eu-Rare, H2020 - Biomore, H2020 - FAME, H2020 - ProSum, H2020 - GeoERA FRAME. In the PEGMAT project, the BRGM brings expertise in the field of metallogeny, 3D geological modeling and numerical modeling, mineral prospectivity.
