French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity : A science-society interface to address the scientific challenges in biodiversity
The French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB) is a foundation for scientific cooperation on biodiversity created in 2008 by eight major French research institutions (BRGM, CEMAGREF, CIRAD, CNRS, IFREMER, INRA, IRD, MNHN), with support from the Ministries of Research and Environment.
FRB's core mission is to promote and coordinate research on biodiversity and to support the dissemination of research outcomes to stakeholders and end-users. It works at the national, but also European and international levels.
FRB is a Science—Society interface to meet challenges of biodiversity research. FRB gives priority to approaches with values of co-construction and multidisciplinarity.
