Our expertise
At the Tour du Valat, a research centre for the conservation of Mediterranean wetlands, our scientific team, comprising around thirty specialists is undertaking programmes of research into the functioning of wetlands and is testing management methods.
In each of its research programmes, the Tour du Valat includes a “transfer” section so that the various wetland stakeholders can benefit from the results of the research programmes. The results are transferred through training and by setting up innovative projects carried out in collaboration with many different partners.
Accordingly, the Tour du Valat offers:
