The Research Observatory Network<\/h1>\n

The \"Zones Ateliers\" (ZA) are centred around a functional unit (a river and its catchment area, landscapes \u2013 agricultural or urban \u2013 and biodiversity, from the Antarctic to sub-Saharan Africa, or the coast, or even life in environments characterised by chronic natural or naturally enhanced radiation) and develop a specific scientific approach there, based on observations and experiments at workshop sites, to conduct long-term multidisciplinary research. A ZA is therefore, most often, a network of workshop sites.<\/p>\n

The ZAs are organised nationally in network<\/strong>, the Network of French Research Observatories (RZA)<\/a>It allows us to study, on often nested timescales and spatial scales and in different territories, the complex relationships between human activities and ecosystem functioning. The RZA is recognised as a Research Infrastructure by the CNRS (INEE) and is labelled by the National Research Alliance for the Environment (ALLENBY<\/a>), Long-Term Environmental Research Observation and Experimentation System: SOERE RZA.<\/p>\n

Olivier Ragueneau<\/strong>\u00a0He has been in charge of the IR Directorate since 1 January 2021, he is the contact person for INEE (the IR's supervisory body) and ALLENVI, and is responsible for the conduct of ZA evaluations.<\/p>\n

The workshop area network is a member of LTER Europe<\/strong><\/a> and of Filter<\/strong><\/a> for international.<\/p>\n

For multidisciplinary research on socio-ecosystems<\/h1>\n

The Atelier Sites (ZA) focus on a functional unit<\/strong> (a river and its watershed, landscapes \u2013 agricultural or urban \u2013 and biodiversity, from the Antarctic to sub-Saharan Africa, or the coast, or environments characterised by chronic natural or amplified natural radiation) and develop a specific scientific approach based on observations and experiments at workshop sites, in order to conduct multidisciplinary research<\/strong> in the long term. A ZA is therefore, most often, a network of workshop sites<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ZAs place ecosystems (marine, mountain, agricultural, riverine etc.) at the centre of the system, considering as much theobservation<\/strong> thatanalyse<\/strong>and theexperimentation<\/strong>or else the human practices on these environments<\/strong>, but also the eco-friendly features<\/strong> such as, for example, ecosystem services. They are in direct contact with the stakeholders of this territory<\/strong> and particularly the questions emerging from the world of managers, politicians, and associations.<\/p>\n

Understanding these interactions involves a multidisciplinary approach, including in particular natural sciences, life sciences, human sciences and engineering sciences, with the aim of responding to a specific territorial question that can be developed in interaction with managers.<\/p>\n

All the business parks<\/strong>currently numbering 14, offers a diversity of contrasting and complementary situations<\/strong> from the point of view of social environments and systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
