Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology (CEFE)
The CEFE project aims to understand the dynamics, functioning and evolution of living organisms, from "bacteria to elephants", and "from the genome 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, diverse in its disciplinary approaches.
Research questions are posed in a context marked by global change, the development of new technologies for manipulating living organisms, and society's growing demand for research.
