[company_age]53.0[/company_age][employees]51-200 employees[/employees][description]The Centre de Recherches Insulaires et Observatoire de l’Environnement (CRIOBE) is a leading French research laboratory dedicated to the study of coral reef ecosystems. Established in 1971, CRIOBE boasts a team of over 70 researchers, including academic professors, scientists, and support staff, representing three prominent French institutions: École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE), the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), and the University of Perpignan Via Domitia (UPVD). This collaboration forms the CRIOBE USR 3278 research unit, operating under the prestigious PSL (Paris Sciences & Letters) Research University. CRIOBE's research activities encompass a diverse range of disciplines, including ecology, conservation biology, genetics, chemistry, and anthropology. Its research facilities are strategically located across two main campuses: the University of Perpignan (UPVD) in southern France and the CRIOBE research station on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia. CRIOBE's research endeavors are primarily focused on three key areas: 1) Molecular Genetics, employing an integrative approach to study coral reefs; 2) Biology of populations, chemical ecology, and ecosystem interactions within coral reefs; and 3) Function and governance of socio-ecosystems. CRIOBE's unique strengths lie in its interdisciplinary approach, its collaborative research environment, and its strategic locations, enabling it to conduct comprehensive and impactful research on coral reef ecosystems.[/description][ps]Research on coral reef ecosystems[/ps]
