ABOUT LIA-ROPSE

On February 3, 2020, after years of collaboration in various fields of joint interest, the University Côte d'Azur and the Scientific Center of Monaco (CSM) took the decision to sign the Framework Agreement for the creation of an International Associated Laboratory (LIA) on the theme of “Response of organisms and populations to environmental stress” (ROPSE).

The Agreement was signed by the President of the University Côte d'Azur and the President of the Board of Directors of the CSM for a renewable period of 5 years. LIA-ROPSE has no legal personality, but aims to structure existing collaborations by creating and developing common synergies in the field of research and innovation.
