 Graduate School Director
UPR AGIRs : Animal and Integrated Risk Management
Tropical ecosystems are home to a wide range of wild animals. However, they are under increasing pressure that is transforming the landscape, resources and habitats.
 Cirad MEB SIBAGHE François Roger
UMR BGPI : Biology and Genetics of Plant/Pathogen Interactions
In-depth knowledge of interactions between plants and their pathogens constitutes the foundation for rational control of invasion by and acclimatization of pathogens introduced from elsewhere. Modelling on a regional scale should make it possible to propose control strategies based on cropping practices and land use planning
 Cirad, Inra, Montpellier SupAgro MEB SIBAGHE Philippe Rott
UMR AMAP : Botany and Computational Plant Architecture
Associating several disciplines—botany, ecology, applied mathematics and informatics—is a major technical and scientific challenge for modern agronomy and forestry. It enables the development of new applications and tools for identifying plants, managing crops, forests and the environment, and developing rural areas.
 Cirad, CNRS, Inra, IRD,UM2 MEB I2S, SIBAGHE Pierre Couteron
UMR CBGP : Center for Biology for Management of Populations
To improve control strategies against pests and identify means of conserving threatened natural populations, it is vital to modify the constraints to which they are subject, and thus to analyse the constraints on each set of organisms, and how those organisms adapt to changes in the constraints.
 Cirad, Inra, IRD, Montpellier SupAgro MEB SIBAGHE Flavie Vanlerberghe
UMR CEFE : Center for Evolutionary and Functional Ecology
Biodiversity, ecological change on a global level, and sustainable development, in particular of Mediterranean and tropical ecosystems, are the central research topics for UMR CEFE.
 Cirad, CNRS, IRD, Montpellier SupAgro, UM1, UM2, UM3
+EPHE 		MEB I2S, SIBAGHE, TTSD Phillippe Jarne
UMR CBAE : Centre for bio-archeology and Ecology (in French) CNRS, UM2
+EPHE 		MEB SIBAGHE Jean-Frédéric Terral
UMR DGIMI : Diversité, génomes et interactions micro-organismes- insectes (in French)
DGMI gathers EMIP (UMR1133) and BIBI (UMR 1231)
 Inra, UM2
+EPHE 		- CBS2, SIBAGHE Patrick Tailliez
UMR DIADE : Diversity and Adaptation of Plants (in French)
DIADE results from the reorganisation of DIA-PC (UMR 188) and LGDP (UMR 121) teams.
 Cirad, IRD, UM2 - SIBAGHE Serge Hamon
UMR MIVEGEC : Ecology, genetics, evolution and control of infectious diseases and vectors
MIVEGEC results from the merger of CCPV (UR 16) and GEMI (UMR 165) units. Its mission is to take an integrative approach to understanding the reproduction and transmission of infectious organisms, so as to improve the means of their control.
 CNRS, IRD, UM1 - CBS2, SIBAGHE Didier Fontenille
UMR GRED : Governance, Risk, Environment, Development, Society and Dynamics, Management of territories (in French)
GRED gathers Unit Socio-Environmental Dynamics and governance of resources (UR 199) and GESTER team from Montpellier 3 University
 IRD, UM3 - TTSD Francis Laloë
UMR ISE-M : Institute of Evolutionary Sciences of Montpellier
ISE-M new name is UMR 226, it includes CAVIAR unit (UR 175). It focuses on the patterns and mechanisms of evolution in the living world. It aims to better understand the processes involved in the origins and dynamics of biodiversity.
 CNRS, IRD, UM2 MEB CBS2, SIBAGHE Jean Christophe Auffray
UMR LAMETA : Laboratory of theoretical and applied economics (in French) CNRS, Inra, Montpellier SupAgro, UM1 MEB E&G Jean-Michel Salles
UPR AMRBET : Pests and Diseases: Risk Analysis and Control
Formerly: Controlling Pests and Diseases in Tree Crops Research Unit” UPR Pests and diseases hamper the productivity and sustainability of most crops, and some also affect product quality.
 Cirad - SIBAGHE Christian Cilas
UR AVI-PATHO : Plant Pathology Inra Avignon Cindy Morris
UPR PVBT : Production and Processing of Tropical Woods Cirad Jean Gérard
UPR GREEN : Renewable resources and environment management
The unit’s aim is to generate knowledge, methods and tools to support collective management of renewable resources and increase players’ ability to steer complex systems.
 Cirad MEB Martine Antona
UMR TETIS : Spatial Information and Analysis for Territories and Ecosystems
The unit conducts research on spatial information and analysis methods for agroenvironmental and territorial systems, along four lines: analyses of the structures and spatiotemporal dynamics of those systems and of how they are perceived by stakeholders; spatialized data acquisition and processing (remote sensing, DTM, GPS, etc); information system design; territorial development and agroenvironmental management methods and the role of information systems.
 AgroParisTech-Engref, Cemagref, Cirad ILEE I2S, SIBAGHE Jean-Philippe Tonneau
UMR LSTM : Tropical and Mediterranean Symbiosis Laboratory
The microorganisms, nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi that live in symbiosis with plant species play a vital role in increasing and sustaining agricultural and forest production, but also in regenerating tropical and Mediterranean environments.
 Cirad, Inra, IRD, Montpellier SupAgro, UM2 MEB SIBAGHE Michel Lebrun
UPR BSEF : Tropical Forest Goods and Ecosystem Services: Facing Global Change
The emergence of global natural resource management instruments will be a determining factor in the future of tropical forests: ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation and management, biomass use for energy production, and also increased demand for land, and so on. By generating new activities, such policies can improve the capacity of rural societies to adapt.
