Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology (CEFE)
The CEFE project aims to understand the dynamics, functioning, and evolution of life, from "bacteria to elephants" and "from genomes to the planet."
It is based on three ambitions:
- understanding the living world to anticipate what tomorrow will bring;
- lead to innovations and meet society's expectations;
- practicing a "unifying" science that is diverse in its disciplinary approaches.
The research questions are posed in a context marked by the prevalence of global changes, the development of new technologies for manipulating living organisms, and society's growing demand for research.
