Montpellier Campus

Dedicated to research and education on tropical ecosystems, geoinformation, and water, the Montpellier campus is one of AgroParisTech’s eight sites. It is located within the larger Agropolis International site. 

Research topics covered by the campus include remote sensing and spatial information systems, management of water and aquatic environments (processes, services, uses, overall management, and governance), and the environmental management of ecosystems and tropical forests (policies in a globalized context, evaluating and overseeing management systems, ecological engineering, and planetary change). 

On November 18, 2019, the General Conference of UNESCO Member States granted approval for the creation, in Montpellier, of the International Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Water Systems Dynamics (ICIREWARD). This represented a strong acknowledgment of the excellence of Montpellier’s water science community, which had been coordinated since 2015 by the Montpellier Institute for Water and the Environment (IM2E – www.im2e.org) and received support from the Montpellier University of Excellence (MUSE) project.
