The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.

After a career in neuroscience, I moved into the field of environmental science and palaeoecology.
In 2019, I joined the IMBE to work in the PAHIS (Palaeoecology and Historical Ecology) team, where my work focuses mainly on palynology and dendrochronology.
My work involves preparing and analysing various types of samples in order to reconstruct past environments and climate changes, in particular using pollen and other bioindicators preserved in sediments. Alongside my research work at PAHIS, I take part in projects run by the IT and Data Centre (PID) as well as those of the shared service SPOT, including activities relating to equipment, scientific data and support for research teams.
