If your project is based around research or innovation, in Normandy you will find a number of partners and experts in horse health and literature.
Normandie Equine Vallée was founded in order to welcome and assist world renowned scientific teams working in the field of equine health in Normandy.
This joint association has developed an international campus across two sites, Goustranville and Saint-Contest, both of which host researchers who specialise in preventing, diagnosing and treating equine health conditions. There are also businesses based on the two campuses.

The Scientific Interest Group (SIG) CENTAURE Equine Research is a research cluster that gathers
four organisations with complementary skills:

therapeutic diagnosis.

Le Pin National Stud Farm provides internationally recognised training to students from across the globe. It is specialised in genetics, reproduction techniques and breeding techniques.
The heritage of notable books and libraries is quite extensive, and at the same time it is not very accessible. The World Horse Library is a research center represented by the MRSH CNRS University of Caen who created a virtual library. Its aim is to make accessible and give value to the contents
of multiple libraries in a large virtual library. With just a few clicks, specialists, expert amateurs, and the public will find texts, printed matter, manuscripts, images, drawings and photos.
They support the Normandy Horse Council
