Or2s

What Or2s does

OR2S (Observatoire Régional de la Santé et du Social) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901), founded in June 1982 and headquartered in Amiens, that operates as a regional health-and-social observatory covering the Hauts-de-France and Normandie regions. Its core activity is the production, processing and dissemination of territorialised health and social indicators to inform public policy for French regional institutions (ARS, Conseils régionaux Hauts-de-France and Normandie, Conseils départementaux, Dreets, rectorats) and national bodies (Santé publique France, INCa, OFDT, Fnors). The structure serves four poles — health, social, R&D, and communication/documentation — and runs p\u00e9renne survey devices covering student health (Jesais, EnJEU Santé, Indiss), workplace health (Evrest, Quinzaines MCP, Beist Normandie), nutrition (Normanut) and population behaviour (Barom\u00e8tre Sant\u00e9 Normandie).

OR2S's technology stack combines in-house developed web applications (Agit, Moca/Moca-O, Jesais, MCP, PF2S, Stop Violences Conjugales, Beist Normandie) with statistical software (Stata, SPAD, R, NVivo) and a secure data hosting infrastructure at the Centre r\u00e9gional informatique et d'applications num\u00e9riques de Normandie (Criann), certified ISO 27001 and H\u00e9bergeur de Donn\u00e9es de Sant\u00e9 (HDS). OR2S co-holds with Fnors a CNIL unique authorisation (D\u00e9lib\u00e9rations n\u00b02021-046 and n\u00b02024-022) to process the Inserm-C\u00e9piDc national mortality database for years 2000-2028, providing a distinctive regulated access to sensitive national health data. Recurring products include the Plateforme sanitaire et sociale (PF2S), the Neo newsletter (now N\u00b014), annual activity reports (200+ pages), the new Atlas sant\u00e9 environnement Hauts-de-France (May 2026) and the cross-border Tableau de bord transfrontalier de la sant\u00e9 with Belgian provinces.

OR2S is funded entirely through public subsidies and grants (from \u00c9tat, ARS, Conseils r\u00e9gionaux, Conseils d\u00e9partementaux, Dreets) and commissioned co-funding from social-protection bodies (CPAM, MSA, Carsat, CAF, Cnam, Mutualit\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise), universities and European/Interreg programmes. Services, publications, tools and training (Agit, Moca, MCP, Jesais) are provided free of charge to public partners and the broader population under a public-good model, with no commercial pricing or paid subscription tiers. Distribution is via direct institutional channels — the or2s.fr website, open-access PDFs, training sessions, conferences, YouTube (UC6OSxJBt_AybvDnmVXBlZtA) and recurring thematic newsletters — supplemented by partnership-based delivery through PF2S and the Fnors network. The company operates approximately 20 FTE-equivalents (17 permanent staff in 2024 plus additional contributors and interns) across offices in Amiens (headquarters, two sites) and Rouen (Normandie branch at L'Atrium).

Core offering

Or2s is a French non-profit regional observatory that designs, produces and disseminates territorialised health and social observation services for Hauts-de-France and Normandie, including recurring indicator databases (Agit, Moca, Beist Normandie, SCORE-Santé), longitudinal surveys (Jesais, EnJEU Santé, Evrest, Normanut, Indiss, Baromètre Santé Normandie, Quinzaines MCP), regional diagnostics (Atlas santé environnement, PRST, PRSE), newsletters (NéO, Pf2s) and training sessions. These deliverables are funded by public subsidies and provided free of charge to institutional decision-makers, professionals and the broader population.

Product overview

OR2S (Observatoire régional de la santé et du social) is a regional health-and-social observatory operating across Hauts-de-France and Normandie, structured around four activity poles: health, social, R&D, and communication/documentation. Rather than a single SaaS product, OR2S delivers a portfolio of platforms, indicator bases, survey devices, and reports centered on the Plateforme sanitaire et sociale (PF2S) as its public-facing hub and supported by internal data tools (Agit, Moca/Moca-O, Dataction) and regional database applications such as Beist Normandie and the SCORE-Santé contribution. Recurring pérenne survey devices (Jesais, EnJEU Santé, Evrest, Indiss, Baromètre Santé Normandie, Normanut, Quinzaines MCP) feed these platforms, and topical observatory products (Atlas santé environnement, Observatoire santé environnement Hauts-de-France, Stop Violences Conjugales, Tableau de bord transfrontalier de la santé) extend the offering for specific audiences and cross-border partners.
