With a solid scientific-cultural tradition, the University of Camerino now has five University Read more >
Schools: Architecture and Design, Biosciences and Veterinary Medicine, Pharmaceutical and Health Products, Law, Science and Technology.
As a university of European ambitions, Camerino has always been committed to developing a differentiated and cutting-edge educational offer; the highly innovative Master’s programmes, the delocalisation of institutional teaching activities through the adoption of the most modern remote and online technologies, and the average first employment waiting time, which for the majority of UNICAM graduates is less than a year, testify to this fact.
It is probably from its ancient heart that innovative ideas and solutions continually arise, which make UNICAM an ancient yet constant novelty.

An identity focused on a regional, national and European priority: the bioeconomy. Read more >
The University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne is a multidisciplinary training and research university positioned and recognised nationally and internationally in the bioeconomy field. This academic identity at the heart of an interdisciplinary approach is based on 4 strategic excellence clusters and the specifics of its ecosystem:
a multidisciplinary cluster with an international dimension focused on agriscience, the environment, biotechnology and the bioeconomy (AEBB) taking into account, in a region with a strong agricultural and wine-growing economy, the sustainable production of the biomass, its transformation by green chemistry and biotechnologies, the ecological transition and climate change;
a healthcare cluster, championing scientific niches of excellence and rich and varied medical and paramedical training;
a digital and engineering sciences cluster (DES) focused on high-performance computing, industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, materials and technological change;
a humanities and social sciences cluster (HSS) united around transformation, transition and mutation.

Unit Director: Pr Cédric Jacquard - RIBP USC INRAE 1488
Chairholder: Florence Fontaine (PR post)
Read more > The "grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs)" theme has been developed in the Induced Resistance and Bioprotection of Plants laboratory (RIBP USC INRAE 1488) for more than 10 years. For winegrowers around the world, GTDs are of growing concern as there is currently no effective method of control available.
In this context, the research carried out is organised into 3 areas of action:
To characterise the physiological impact of these diseases to identify less sensitive molecular markers in certain grape varieties and identify determinants of fungal pathogenicity contributing to GTDs;
To study the influence of environmental factors (climate) on the development of GTDs;
To suggest more sustainable (biological) ways of combating GTDs to restrict them. The RIBP research unit led the COST FA1303 European action "Sustainable Control of Grapevine Trunk Disease" (2013-2017) and is currently identified as the leader of the main European academic institutes working in this area. This work is carried out in collaboration with academic (universities, large organisations), professional and private partners nationally and internationally. The chair is incorporated into Institut Georges Chappaz.
The knowledge acquired is used in the training provided at URCA, and more specifically the training on the wine industry (degree and vocational degree, national oenologist diploma, master's degree), particularly in conjunction with the Avize oenology college (Avize VitiCampus).
Keywords:
Grapevine trunk diseases, pathogenic fungi, host-pathogen interactions, differential sensitivity of grape varieties, effective control
Industrial partnerships:
Agrauxine, Comité Champagne, BIVB, IFV, Pépinières Mercier, Hennessy, Natural Group Development, Nufarm
Scientific collaborations:
University of Pau, University of Valencia (Spain), ICVV (Logrono), IBWF (Germany), UMR INRA Agroécologie Dijon, UMR INRA Bioger Versailles, Avize Viticampus, Florence University (Italy), Fribourg University (Switzerland), Instituto Superior de Agronomia in Lisbon and Aveiro University (Portugal), Debrecen and Eger University (Hungry), VITEC (Spain), Technische Universität Muenchen (Germany).

INRAE is France's new National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, Read more >
created on January 1, 2020, It was formed by the merger of INRA, the National Institute for Agricultural Research, and IRSTEA, the National Research Institute of Science and Technology for the Environment and Agriculture.
SCIENCE DEDICATED TO LIFE, HUMANS, AND THE EARTH
Humankind and the planet are facing global changes that will create new challenges for research to address: limiting the effects of and adapting to climate change; increasing food security and nutrition security; transitioning to new agricultural systems; preserving natural resources; restoring biodiversity; and anticipating and managing risks. It will also be important to consider more regional issues like living conditions, farmers' salaries, the economic competitiveness of companies, land use, and universal access to healthy and varied diets.
As the world's top institute for research on agriculture, food, and the environment*, INRAE will help address these concerns. It will use research, innovation, and support for public policies as tools to guide the emergence of sustainable agricultural and food production systems. The institute aims to carry out science dedicated to life, humans, and the Earth that uncovers solutions to our most pressing concerns.
INRAE was formed by the merger of INRA, the French National Institute for Agricultural Research, and IRSTEA, the French National Research Institute of Science and Technology for the Environment and Agriculture. Both institutes were known for the quality of their research and their great expertise. Their union has generated a critical research mass and has pooled their major infrastructures (e.g., observatories, technical platforms, data repositories), including some that are one of a kind in Europe. As a result, INRAE is uniquely suited to perform valuable research on numerous topics, including water resources, regional agricultural strategies, the preservation and restoration of biodiversity, risk anticipation and management, and digital agriculture.

RIBP's research activities are focused on the plant immunity of arable crops (mainly grapes and cereals). For nearly 30 years, Read more > we have been interested in the development of alternative strategies to chemical control by studying in particular: axis 1 - the perception of elicitors and the establishment of innate immunity; axis 2 - the induction of resistance induced by the use of beneficial micro-organisms (MOBs), essentially bacteria or molecules derived from these bacteria or, axis 3 - the impact of environmental stresses on the plant- pathogen and plant immunity induced by elicitors or MOBs.
