The seminal interdisciplinary partnership programme (PSIP) “Preservation and promotion of biodiversity” will implement actions aiming to reinforce IRD’s position and visibility, particularly during the 14th Conference of Parties (COP) regarding the Convention on Biodiversity, which will be held from 11 to 22 November 2018 in Egypt.
Launched in 2018, the IJL BIO-INCA will develop collaborative research uniting the University of Los Andes in Bogota (Columbia), the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, four IRD joint research units (EGCE, DIADE, AMAP and IPME) and Cirad (French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development). This project is part of multidisciplinary research to address the issues of preserving and promoting biodiversity and sustainable agriculture in the tropical Andes.
