CleRMa (Clermont Research Management)

What CleRMa (Clermont Research Management) does

CleRMa (Clermont Recherche Management) is a French academic research laboratory designated as Equipe d'Accueil EA3849 by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, jointly operated by Université Clermont Auvergne and Clermont School of Business (IAE Clermont Auvergne). The laboratory conducts research in sustainable management sciences, organized around three thematic axes: AMPHI (Alter-Management, Potentiel Humain et Innovation), FIRE (Finance, Information et Responsabilité des Entreprises), and STeRA (Stratégie Territoire et Réseaux d'Acteurs). Its portfolio of research programs includes the Chaire Santé et Territoires (established 2017, focused on health management and territorial care coordination), the Open Lab Exploration Innovation (a researcher-practitioner interaction device), and an annual doctoral scholarships program that admits Master's-level candidates to conduct theses on sustainable management topics.

CleRMa's primary stakeholders are the academic research community and doctoral students in management sciences; secondary stakeholders include healthcare organizations and territorial stakeholders engaged through the Chaire Santé et Territoires and the GIS Management & Dynamiques Territoriales. The laboratory co-founded the GIS Management & Dynamiques Territoriales in January 2024 with Université de Corse Pasquale Paoli and CNRS, and has since onboarded researchers from CRET-LOG (Aix-Marseille Université), expanding its collaborative footprint across French public research institutions.

The entity does not operate a commercial business model. It does not charge for its research activities, has no commercial products, no pricing model, and no disclosed revenue. Funding is derived from institutional university sources and public research grants. Outputs are disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, seminar series, a regular newsletter (issue #13 released July 2026), and an X social media presence (@Labo_CleRMa, 578 followers). Headquarters are at 11 Boulevard Charles de Gaulle, Clermont-Ferrand, France. The operating status is active.
