Becoming a resident at IMéRA

IMéRA is located in the heart of Marseille, on the Longchamp plateau, a vast landscaped park leading off the Canebière, where it has its premises in the former Observatoire d’Astronomie Marseille-Provence.

This remarkable site, ideally located in terms of transport and accessibility, has long been devoted to science and culture. The Palais Longchamp, a prestigious Second Empire monument crowning the plateau, is home both to Marseille’s oldest museum, dedicated to fine arts, and to the Natural History Museum.

The Institute is fortunate in its exceptional scientific environment. Located in Marseille, the home to major scientific universities and research institutes, it also benefits from proximity to Aix-en-Provence, with its humanities and social sciences universities and research laboratories. The Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region is France’s third largest scientific pole.
