Four sectors and one single value
The "sectors of activity" at the LCPC are the four major fields linked with transport infrastructure in which its teams are engaged in research.
These are:
. Roads
. Geotechnical Engineeringand Natural Hazards
To those four sectors of activity, a transveral fifth has to be added dealing with Engineering Sciences.
Where are the "Environment" and "Road Safety"?
These words are so often mentioned in the LCPC’s Strategic
Orientations. The answer is logical and very simple,
because Environment and Rod Safety are LCPC’s omnipresent values. Each
of the four sectors of activity deals with environmental
aspects in his work. Roads, geotechnical engineering,
Natural hazard and Urban engineering are all and will
even feel more and more concerned by environment in the
future. By reaching this point, the LCPC has clearly expressed
its strategy : environment does not only represent a sector
of activities, but it is a key-value that has to be respected
everywhere, at anytime. With this line of conduct, research
fits in with the logic that the policies of our modern
society strongly claim : sustainable development. The same applies for Road Safety.
