Sapienza University of Rome, founded in 1303 by
Pope Boniface VIII, is one of the oldest
universities in the world and a high performer among
the largest universities in international rankings.
Housed in the Department of Environmental Biology
(DEB), the Laboratory of Nature Conservation, Land
Planning and Landscape Ecology led by Prof. Carlo
Blasi includes several researchers with different
though highly integrated research interests ranging
from biological invasions, land ecological
classification, studies on vegetation dynamics,
in-depth analysis on the Habitats Directive,
studies on freshwater biology.

The IMBE is a Joint Research Unit of CNRS and
Aix Marseille University, created with the explicit
aim to develop new approaches for sciencebased integrated management of biodiversity
and ecosystems. With 260 staff members
organized in 14 research teams, IMBE combines
basic and applied biological field research with
new approaches of modelling ecosystem
processes at the continental scale. IMBE’s
current research potential covers the domains of
biodiversity, evolutionary biology and ecology,
and human-environment relationships

The Research Unit in Plant Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics in
Arid Environment (BIOECOS-MA) is part of the Sfax University
(Faculty of Science). Directed by Mohamed Chaieb, Professor of
Botany & Ecology, this research structure includes about 35
researchers and PhD students. The main thematic of this research
structure is the study of biodiversity within plant communities, and
in particular the ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems
under arid and Saharan bioclimate. Internationally, BIOECOS-MA is
part of a large research international network of international,
including the cooperation of local, regional and international
research projects.
Finally, BIOECOS -MA contributes to the national effort to train
teachers and researchers through every year, and a number of
teachers and researchers, who are employed in the Tunisian
University.

Objectifs
•
(A) Créer un réseau de collaboration
entre institutions , organismes et
administrations locales des pays
partenaires pour la surveillance des
zones côtières en Méditerranée, et pour
l'intégration des interventions locales
dans un plan d'action macro-échelle au
niveau du bassin méditerranéen
• ( B) d'élaborer une boîte à outils
spécifique pour évaluer la biodiversité
sur les espèces végétales et les
niveaux des communautés, et leur
vulnérabilité aux risques potentiels de
perturbation
