IRD resources used

Indigo photo library

164A unique collection of more than 58,000 photographs taken in countries in the South – Africa, Asia, Latin America, Oceania and French overseas regions and communities. The library conserves and distributes images taken and described in captions by IRD scientists. The field and laboratory images cover various disciplines: life and earth sciences, health, human and social sciences. The images are provided free of charge for educational and scientific use.

165www.indigo.ird.fr/

Scientific news-sheets

166Scientific news-sheets published two or three times a month report the latest research results at IRD. Carefully explained, reliable information enables better understanding of today’s major research issues for the development of countries in the South. The news-sheets are also published in English and Spanish.

167www.ird.fr/la-mediatheque/fiches-d-actualite-scientifique

The journal Sciences au Sud

168The various sections of the journal Sciences au Sud give a panoramic view of research work in all disciplines concerning developing countries, the ways in which research is organised, expertise and the transfer and use of research results and training and support for teams in the South. It is intended for a broad readership: IRD staff, scientific and institutional partners in France and abroad, journalists, students, teachers etc.

169www.ird.fr/la-mediatheque/journal-sciences-au-sud

Exhibitions

170IRD is present at major scientific events, those for meeting young people and, more broadly, for the general public. Exhibitions are set up by IRD or handled jointly with—among others— Universcience, scientific and technical centres, associations such as ASTS (Association science technologie société) and French institutes abroad. Production and distribution are supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development.

171www.ird.fr/la-mediatheque/expositions

Interactive web platform ‘Le climat sous surveillance’

172Within the framework of COP 21 (Paris, December 2015), this interactive web platform presents the scientific instruments used to study climate changes in various environments (seas, mountains, forests, rivers, arid zones, urban zones and island and coastal environments: humorous animated films, teaching resource file, explanatory videos, links to complementary documentary resources (exhibitions, films, books, etc.), personal pages and video interviews of scientists and a dialogue facility.

173www.climat-sous-surveillance.ird.fr/

The website section ’Climat et changements climatiques au Sud’

174Climate changes form a major line of IRD’s research in the South. A section of the website describes the multidisciplinary research programmes conducted by the Institute and its partners in more than 25 countries. The work is closely associated with training operations in and through research in order to enhance expertise in countries in the South so that they can play an active, visible role in international scientific mobilisation on climate change.
