AREVA - Patronage and Partnership Department

File follow-up

Your complete file—finalized project along with the requested legal and financial documents—is evaluated by the Patronage team.

If it meets AREVA's criteria, it will be submitted to the Patronage and Partnerships Committee, which meets once per quarter. You will be informed by mail of the Committee's decision.

The Patronage and Partnerships Committee is made up of employees, representatives of different entities and competence areas within the group (legal, scientific, operational, etc.). The Committee reviews and selects projects that correspond to AREVA's patronage themes.

An agreement is signed for each project that AREVA supports. The agreement governs and defines the partnership between the association and AREVA, and specifies the duties and obligations of each party.
