Mission Val de Loire is an inter-regional joint association founded in 2002 by the Centre-Val de Loire and Pays de la Loire Regions.
Mission Val de Loire helps to promote appreciation and uptake of the founding principles and values of the Loire Valley’s inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List through education, cultural outreach and communication. It helps local authorities to take these values into consideration and develops projects raising awareness about and showcasing the Loire Valley’s landscapes and heritage.
The trade-union committee is the decision-making body for what Mission Val de Loire does. Its members are regional elected representatives. It is tasked with defining the strategic guidelines and approving the action plan of Mission Val de Loire.
A scientific and professional council was set up within Mission Val de Loire in early 2012. It has several members from the various scientific fields and occupations that Mission Val de Loire's broad spectrum of activities encompasses, as well as from the main universities and research entities in the two Regions concerned. The members sit on the committee in a personal capacity.
The Mission Val de Loire team currently has 8 members.
