Observatory in Environmental Humanities dedicated to the governance of marine and coastal social-ecological systems

Who we are

© Adrien Lambrechts

Apolimer is an interdisciplinary research network based at the Littoral, Environment and Societies (LIENSs) research unit in La Rochelle University (Eu-Conexus), France. It was initially a cooperative research structure within the University of Western Brittany (UBO), based at the European Marine Institute (IUEM) in the Lab of Marine Sciences (LEMAR) in Brest, France, then supported by the Ecology and Environment Institute (INEE) of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and is now supported by the Environment and Sustainable Development Research Federation (FREDD/ BIOSENA / Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine).

Apolimer members bring together different expertise fields. They are based in metropolitan France and French overseas territories and work with collaborators from France and from others countries like Canada, Germany, Russia United-States or Australia
