To answer global challenges, INRAE is deploying targeted research, combining fundamental and applied research, providing long-term solutions and short- and medium-term innovations. The institute is committed to an open, participatory and interdisciplinary science approach to build transitions with society.
The French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), an internationally recognised multi-disciplinary organisation, is a French public research establishment operating under the joint authority of the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. IRD is a crucial player in providing scientific advice on the major challenges of development. It takes an original approach to research, expertise, training and knowledge-sharing for the benefit of countries and regions, making science and innovation key drivers in their development.
The French Office for Biodiversity (OFB) is a French Government agency that conducts research and enforces government policies on wildlife and the environment.
It provides support for government environmental policies and assists managers of national areas. CFB also strives to educate the public on biodiversity issues and gain their support for conservation.
Environmental Science and Pollution Research (ESPR) serves the international community in all areas of Environmental Science and related subjects with emphasis on chemical compounds. This includes:
- Terrestrial Biology and Ecology
- Aquatic Biology and Ecology
- Atmospheric Chemistry
- Environmental Microbiology/Biobased Energy Sources
- Phytoremediation and Ecosystem Restoration
- Environmental Analyses and Monitoring
- Assessment of Risks and Interactions of Pollutants in the Environment
- Conservation Biology and Sustainable Agriculture
- Impact of Chemicals/Pollutants on Human and Animal Health
- Environmental Economics
It reports from a broad interdisciplinary outlook.
The Bureau de recherches géologiques et minières is France’s reference public institution for Earth Science applications in the management of surface and subsurface resources and risks.
The University of Montpellier (French: Université de Montpellier) is a French public research university in Montpellier in south-east of France. Established in 1220, the University of Montpellier is one of the oldest universities in the world.
University of Montpellier secured 55th and 16th places in the world and Europe, respectively, in Reuters - The World's Most Innovative Universities 2018. It is also ranked among the top 200 universities in the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2019.
University of Montpellier was ranked 1st in the world in Ecology in the subject rankings of Academic Ranking of World Universities 2018.
The University of Perpignan (French: Université de Perpignan; Catalan: Universitat de Perpinyà Via Domitia) is a French university, located in Perpignan.
The first university of Perpignan was established in 1349 by King Peter IV of Aragon. It is one of the oldest regional universities, following the steps of close centers, such as University of Toulouse and University of Montpellier.
The research at Toulouse INP relies on approximately 700 researchers grouped in 17 laboratories associated with the CNRS, INRA and other universities in Toulouse. The two main fields of research of Toulouse INP are Physical science and Engineering for Energy, Climate, Digitalisation and Materials; and Life Sciences and Engineering for Agronomy, Agribusiness and Environment. The engineering schools of Toulouse INP have a strong research activity focusing on issues with high societal and economic impact concerning various fields.
The CEFREM of the University of Perpignan is a research unit associated with the CNRS (UMR 5110). He has long been interested in the coastal environment, which brings him closer to the socio-economic problems linked to the uses of this environment.
His research activity is focused on the themes (1) of the transfers of biotic and abiotic materials at the interfaces of the coastal system, which includes the physical exchanges of water masses, particles and elements, in particular carbon in the continuum continent-ocean, (2) sedimentary records of multi-scale meteorological-climatic events (from events to quaternary climatic cycles) on the coast, the coastal domain and the deep domain. All this activity takes place within the framework of international, national and regional programs.
Research at EcoLab covers various aspects of the dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystem functions in a context of global change. Altogether, our projects transcend the boundaries of levels of biological organisation (from genes to meta-communities), ecosystems (freshwater, terrestrial, marine, and the interface between these systems), and biomes. We study the effects of both natural variability and anthropogenic disturbance on a local to global scale, and we analyse physiological, biological, ecological and biogeochemical responses as well as the feedbacks between biodiversity and environmental change over time periods ranging from organismal life cycles to millenia. Our long history of fruitful collaborations with socio-economic and industrial partners has placed EcoLab at the helm of research that explicitly include Human-environment interactions, from historical to contemporary perspectives.
HydroSciences Montpellier (HSM) is a joint research unit depending of CNRS, Université Montpellier and IRD. It gathers some 150 researchers and teaching staff. The main objective of HSM is to quantify and predict how climate change and human activities affect water resources in the Mediterranean and tropical regions.
The Mediterranean Centre for Environment and Biodiversity Laboratory of Excellence (CeMEB LabEx) is a federation of ten research units in the Montpellier area. Research focuses on the dynamics and functioning of biodiversity and ecosystems in a context of marked environmental change, notably due to human activities. An important objective is to use scenarios to anticipate both the biological consequences of global change, and anticipate the evolution of ecosystem services and human societies.
Set up in 2009, the ECOTOX network of ecotoxicologists, has broadened to include the French community active in this field and currently involves around 150 members from some twenty INRAE research units and from external partners (INERIS, IRSN, CNRS, CEA, MNHN, universities and specialised schools, etc.).
Occitania is the most attractive region in France, with nearly 47,000 new inhabitants each year. Thanks to this dynamism, the Region supports economic development that is a source of social progress, ensures equal opportunities and access to employment, guarantees the sustainable development of territories, strengthens solidarity.
With 31 municipalities and more than 470,000 inhabitants, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole participates in the vast movement of municipal, urban and peri-urban regrouping, committed throughout France.
The metropolis, with its 31 municipalities, is the heir to a long history. Marked by migrations, the richness of its economic and cultural activities, this territory is ideally located, at the crossroads of influences that stir up the entire Mediterranean.
