10. CARE
10
CARE is a multidisciplinary laboratory conducting researches on
water-related issues and challenges. Its scientific approach is
structured around 3 axes: Water and Environment; Water and
Risks; Water and Health. It has in particular developed a strong
expertise in water pollution by plastic, coastal erosion and
salinity intrusion in the Saigon River and Mekong Delta.

11. LMI LOTUS
11
The goal of LOTUS is to build a state-of-the art laboratory for
environmental studies, by developing an innovative integrated
approach, combining remote sensing, in situ measures and
large-scale modelling tools, to study the transport and fate of
water and matter in the river-estuary-ocean continuum, focusing
on North Viet Nam and the Red River Delta.

12. LMI SEDES
12
SEDES links socio-cultural, environmental and biological sciences
to investigate how the key socio-ecological services provided by
deltas’coastal waters can be sustained, restored and/or valorised
in different management and environmental contexts, and
under the pressure of global changes. SEDES is specifically
focused on the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.

13
WARM is designing modelling and simulation tools that can be
applied to the management of water resources and disasters. Its
main project uses hybrid modelling (combination of
mathematical and computer models) to address operation
optimisation of irrigation systems in the Bắc Hưng Hải region

14. LMI DRISA
14
In Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, DRISA aims to get an overview
of the mechanisms of drug resistance emergence and its
transmission at different scales, by developing observational
studies in hospitals and communities and in different
environments, experimental research to understand the
molecular mechanisms of resistance, and mathematical
modelling to assist in the development of public health policies.

15. JEAI EID
15
EID focuses on mathematical and computational modelling of
infectious diseases, with the aim of characterising their spatial
dynamics, the underpinnings of these dynamics using statistical
and mathematical approaches, exploring potential diseases
interactions in space and time and designing optimal disease
control policies based on models calibrated with real data.

16. M-TROPICS
LMI LUSES
16
LUSES and M-TROPICS, established in Laos, Thailand, and
Vietnam, conduct researches and monitoring on the impact of
agriculture, climate change and land-use changes on soil
ecosystem services (in terms of erosion, soil quality, runoff/
infiltration, groundwater recharge, flooding, water quality and
roots), with the goal of identifying management techniques that
improve these services and environmental quality, income and
well being of farmers in South-East Asia.

RICE2 combines functional genomics and association genetics to
identify and characterise new genes and microorganisms
involved in the adaptation of crop plants (rice, coffee) to abiotic
and biotic environmental constraints, with the goal of launching
breeding programs to develop new rice and coffee varieties, with
improved quality and better adaptation to a changing
environment.

RecycUrbs studies the functioning of the network of the 10.000
informal collectors in Hanoi, its structuring, its organisational
rationality, its territorial extension (from the city to craft villages)
and its sustainability in a context of privatisation of public
spaces, growth and diversification of the volume of waste linked
to economic growth.

20. UMI UMMISCO
20
UMMISCO is under the supervision of 7 partners in France,
Morocco, Senegal, Cameroon and Vietnam. It focuses on the
design of mathematical and computer modelling tools that allow
to represent the emerging dynamics of complex socio-
environmental systems, to draw their scenarios of evolution, and
to fuel decision-making for their sustainable development.
UMMISCO Vietnam is home to the development of the GAMA
modelling and simulation platform.

IRD researchers and partners participate
to a large number of courses, mostly
at the Master level: USTH, CTU,
TLU, VNU, HCMUT, HCMUS, HAU,
etc. for an approximate 1200h of
lectures / year (30 teaching units)
Approximately 200 students,
from France and Vietnam, are
supervised during their internships
(BSc, MSc) by IRD researchers and
their partners every year.
At least 3 summer schools,
gathering 250 participants, are
organised every year at a
regional scale (South-East Asia)
by IRD researchers:

SEDES Summer Schools
IRD researchers and partners
currently supervise 32 PhD
students in their structures.
90 have been supervised so
