Find us at the Parc des expositions de la porte de Versailles in Paris
Hall 4 ~ aisle B ~ n°91
On the stand
What do we know about plants, trees? How do they communicate among themselves? What influence does this have on their growth and development?
What do we know about animals? How do they communicate among themselves? How do they adapt to their environment? How do they behave in the midst of a flock or herd?
A better understanding of the behaviour and interactions of plants, animals and microbes enables us to better protect them and better protect ourselves.
The theme “The secret life of plants and animals” will address the major subjects on which the Institute is working: agroecology – preservation of biodiversity – biocontrol – control of and adaptation to climate change – livestock farming in the future – animal welfare – plant and animal health – human health.
- Research scientists will be on the stand, presenting their work involving these major issues
- There will be a recruitment hub on the stand presenting INRA’s employment opportunities
- Éditions Quae will also be present with a selection of their publications.
