The communication work group

After receiving its label, AXELERA established a work group contributed to by the founding members, Grand Lyon and Grenoble-Alpes Métropole.  This group, which is responsible for the cluster’s promotion and communications, develops and implements numerous tools and actions aimed at increasing the cluster’s visibility and influence (website, newsletter, press releases, Axelera Thursdays, etc.). It is comprised of:

ARKEMA – Sophie Suc

CDST/Grand Lyon - Elisabeth Rivory

CNRS - Caroline Develay

CNRS - Jacques Fontès

IFP - Bénédicte Reverdy-Denis

Grenoble-Alpes Métropole - Carole Lefoulon

RHODIA - Marie-Pierre Gattacieca   

The annual self-assessment drive

The association utilizes internal regulation and a charter that enable both clarification of the participants’ commitment conditions and the functioning of the cluster; these also state the cluster’s objectives and associated values.

Firm commitments have been made to undertaking a self-assessment drive in order to continue growing as an association.  To this end, and with the support of Grand Lyon, a cluster self-assessment tool has been developed to enable the ability, year after year and through various measurement indicators, to measure the cluster’s effects according to the following 5 objectives:

- Increase the number of R&D partnership projects, with qualified and quantified environmental objectives

- Create added value for companies and the region

- Increase dialogue and collaboration between the various types of participants

- Strengthen the cluster’s international actions

- Implement cross-discipline projects
