Research activities

The Institute has strategic directions which constitute the common thread of all applied research and development (aR&D) activities and services to the community.

Strategic focus

• Landscape and territorial planning
• Conservation and restoration of ecosystems (agro-, hydro-, sylvoecosystems)
• Designing sustainable horticultural and ornamental crops
• Deploying nature in the city, urban ecology and optimising its services
• Integrated management of animal and plant populations
• Diagnose, evaluate and monitor changes in the environment
• Designing the spatial occupation of an area

All of these areas of action are run by research groups.

Areas of expertise

The research groups are operational entities which enable the implementation of strategic directions.

Each group brings together researchers, technical personnel and well-equipped laboratories.

Furthermore, according to the requirements of the project/mandate, each group can rely on the numerous skills that exist in the other two institutes of HEPIA.

The groups' skills are focused on diagnosing and monitoring the environment, in particular:

• Computerised landscape modelling 
• Ecology and Aquatic Systems Engineering
• Entomology and Agroecology 
• Landscape Living Project 
• Plant Ecology Applied to Restoration and Conservation
• Plants and Pathogens 
• Soils and Substrates 
• Sustainable Use of Natural Resources 
• Technique & Landscape
