Biodiversity - Bioresources
The Graduate Initiative Biodiversity-Bioresources (GI BB) aims to develop, through transdisciplinary approaches, an international training, deeply rooted in research regarding the dynamics, evolution, preservation, and management of biodiversity and bioresources, including the quality/health of organisms and ecosystems, and the production of food resources. This initiative combines cutting-edge scientific issues with key societal challenges related to the Anthropocene, requiring transdisciplinary approaches (biology, ecology, biochemistry, geography, history, law, citizen science…).
Our ambition is to expand the environmental science education offerings to train the next generation of professionals through:
- Training-research interfaces and transdisciplinary courses rooted in the excellence of each discipline,
- International courses that combine different cultural perspectives and forms of knowledge.
BB GI brings together leading laboratories in the field of environmental science at the La Doua, Gerland, and Saint-Etienne sites, and can rely on structures and tools/programs from the Lyon/Saint-Etienne site: EUR H2O’ Lyon, EUR EID@lyon, FR BioEEnViS, Labex IMU, PIA4 Shape-Med@Lyon, Equipex + Infectiotron, PEPR Solubiod, PEPR OneWater, CPER SOBIOE.
