The MSH is linked to Clermont Auvergne University, and it supports and coordinates research in human and social sciences, in addition to initiating interdisciplinary projects. The building of the MSH is close to the Lecoq Garden, a five-hectare green space with many areas to relax in.

Inaugurated by the University Clermont-Auvergne in September 2024, KAP is a single location that houses three distinct services, designed to promote learning and training for students, teachers, and researchers: university library, university teaching support service, and student career guidance service.
