Question 11207 — research and innovation

Summary

Ms. Prisca Thevenot draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Space to the future of the CNRS site located in Meudon-Bellevue, which has long hosted important scientific research activities. Following the gradual departure of the research units, the CNRS obtained in 2015 a building permit equivalent to a division for a mixed project providing for the construction of 217 housing units and the construction new buildings. This project also included the demolition of premises that had become unsuitable and dilapidated. However, it should be remembered that this operation did not constitute an overall modernization of the site, the central building corresponding to the former hotel having already been the subject of a complete restructuring and an elevation carried out between 2010 and 2014. Following the reservations issued in 2016 by the State Real Estate Council, the CNRS, at the end of 2022, abandoned the part of the project relating to the extension of office space, meeting rooms and the creation of an examination center, which was not intended to accommodate research teams. This decision left the rehabilitation of several buildings now disused and affected by advanced deterioration on hold. In June 2023, the CNRS presented a new project aimed at creating a center for scientific mediation with a 400-seat amphitheater. The implementation of this project, likely to put an end to the fallow situation and contribute to the dissemination of scientific culture, however requires the definition of a stabilized scientific program, the identification of institutional partners and the mobilization of adequate funding. No public information has since been communicated regarding the state progress of this file nor the guarantees of its viability. The MP therefore wishes to know: the current position of the ministry on the rehabilitation and development of the Bellevue site in Meudon; the follow-up that the CNRS intends to give to its project for a scientific mediation center and amphitheater, particularly with regard to the real needs of use and attendance; and finally, in the event of a partial or total withdrawal of the CNRS, the alternatives envisaged to ensure the reconversion of disused buildings while respecting heritage, the environment and the general interest.
