Partners
A large number of public entities support or implement public policies in INRAE’s field. Facilitating and encouraging links and relationships with them is essential if we are to succeed in the collaborative projects that today’s major societal challenges require, whether they are imposed or chosen. We shall not list all INRAE teams’ partners here, but instead provide a general overview and illustrate it with a few examples.
INRAE scientists are increasingly called upon by public policy-makers to address issues that concern the Institute’s areas of research and expertise: preserving and managing common goods such as water, biodiversity and soils; anticipating and managing natural, food and environmental risks; and initiating food and agroecological transitions. These demands require close collaboration at different levels of action, at national, European and international level, as well as local level, which is an essential link in the chain of action.
The Public Policy Support Division helps build partnerships with public players to bring science and public policy closer together. This involves coordinating and leading the dialogue between the Institute’s scientific and technical provision and the needs of public players in designing and implementing food, agricultural and environmental policies.
