Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Ecology, Marine and Continental (IMBE) - Institute Mediterranean Biodiversité Et D'ecologie
The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Ecology, Marine and Continental (IMBE) develops an integrative approach for the study of biodiversity and socio-ecological systems. IMBE thus provides fundamental and applied knowledge on the functions, the historical and evolutionary dynamics of all types of Mediterranean ecosystems biodiversity, from the construction of paleo-ecosystems to their future in the context of global change. These contributions also include links with civil societies on the one hand and human health issues on the other. Through its involvement in research, training and scientific promotion, IMBE actively participates in the environmental transition and sustainable development for the definition of local, national and international environmental policies.
