Biopolis

The “Biopolis” project was launched in the early 2000s by Grenoble-Alpes Métropole and Université Grenoble Alpes. It supports research transfer in biotech and medtech and enables the creation of startups stemming from partner research laboratories.

Ecotox

Inaugurated in February 2017 by François Hollande, former President of France, the platform Ecotox - Rovaltain Research Company is one of its kind in Europe. With 5 buildings in Alixan (Valence), it develops research in ecotoxicology and environmental toxicology. This 67,000 square meter laboratory recreates ecosystems and biotopes, in order to study the evolution of pollutants in vegetal, animal and human health.

GreEn-ER

GreEn-ER regroups in a single location all actors of research and education for new technologies devoted to energy. This smart building is also a place of experimentation that brings together the Grenoble INP engineering school for Energy, Water and Environment, as well as graduate and undergraduate diplomas at Université Grenoble Alpes; a laboratory, the G2Elab and learning/research platforms (PREDIS et MEE).
