EVA develops both fundamental and applied research projects whose purpose is to manage natural resources and assist decision-makers for environmental issues. The research in this area involves organisms that play a central role in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, both natural and artificial (wastewater treatment plants, reactors, etc.). The projects examine the ecological, eco-toxicological or taxonomic aspects of these organisms, depending on the issues raised.

 

Research subjects

 

• Diversity of living communities and bio-indication of the ecological status of natural or heavily modified ecosystems
• Nature conservation
• Eco-toxicology of fresh waters
• Microbial ecology
• Risk assessment and management of microbiological hazards
• Valorization of natural resources
