The IRD is a key French player on the international development agenda. It is based on an original model: equitable scientific partnerships with developing countries, primarily those in the intertropical regions and the Mediterranean area.
The IRD's Brest office is home to around 40 people. In addition to its role as a metropolitan base for IRD teams, it is intended to contribute to the reception and training of scientific executives from partner countries and institutions in the South.
IRD's scientific activities in Brittany are exclusively focused on marine sciences. Tropical climate, offshore and coastal oceanography, modelling, underwater acoustics, sclerochronology and fisheries are the research themes developed there.
Research units from the IRD and its partners based in France, in the French overseas departments and territories and abroad also receive technical support, particularly for the preparation of oceanographic campaigns.
