Institute for Research and Development- IRD

IRD, like CNRS, is an EPST (Public institution for science and technology).

Its activities (research, expertise and education) aim to contribute to the economical, social and cultural development of the countries of the Southin 6 prior. areas :

Fight against povertyMigrations Emergent diseases EcosystemsAccess to water Climatic change and natural risks

Natural risks

Climate changes

Ecosystems and natural ressources

Health and cultural / social dynamics

Main research topics in Latinamerica
