2014 IRD
© E.
Dautant
2014 was the last year under the responsibility of the previous governing body headed by Professor Michel Laurent, to whom we owe a huge thank you for his contribution. Over the year, IRD continued to affirm its position as a strategic element in French policy on development aid for countries of the South. Through research excellence, IRD endeavours to rise to the great challenges faced by these countries and the rest of the world: environmental changes, biodiversity loss, rarefaction of soil and water resources, vulnerability to natural risks, emergence of infectious diseases, the growth in so-called «civilisation» diseases, and deepening economic and social inequalities in terms of access to resources, education and the healthcare system.
Over the coming months, the Institute’s new governing body, set up after my appointment as Chairman and Executive Director and my nomination of Jean-Marc Châtaigner as Deputy Executive Director, will focus on the preparation of the new 2016-2020 perfomance contract as a priority. This will draw on a report on the current scientific situation and outlook, which should help make sure that research for development and scientific partnerships with the South are better integrated in the ten social challenges in the national research strategy currently being drafted, in accordance with the
European Union programme, Horizon 2020. This report will be of major importance when it comes to drafting the 2015-2030 strategic plan, to be completed by the end of the year and defining the medium and long-term framework for discussions on our new performance contract. Following the abolition of the former AIRD
(inter-institutional research agency for development), one of the main tasks for this strategic plan will be defining how IRD can position itself as a key player in the outreach to the South by the five alliances (AllEnvi, Allistene, Ancre, Athéna and Aviesan) that now form a framework for the pooling of French public research.
Another important aspect will be better rooting IRD’s activities within scientific diplomacy work serving our country and the
French-speaking world as a whole. This implies the promotion of cross-disciplinary work to address the main challenges of the developing world, efforts to build research and innovation capacities for our partners in the South, and greater responsiveness to the environmental, geopolitical or health-related crises that affect these parts of the world.
2015 will bring us numerous opportunities to demonstrate that science can help reconcile the various «agendas» that influence the complexity of North-South relations in a depolarised world: the agenda on wealth distribution worldwide, at the heart of the
Third International Conference on Financing for Development under the auspices of the United Nations; the agenda for the reconciliation of economic growth and respect for ecological, social and cultural balances at the United Nations summit that will launch the post-2015 sustainable development goals; and finally the climate change agenda, with the 21 st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention.
Preparation of the next performance contract also means we will need to speed up the modernisation of IRD’s management, with the aim of making better use of our budgets for research, consolidating our scientific partnership arrangements with countries of the South, making progress in terms of parity and the employment of people with disabilities, and increasing our attractiveness among young researchers.
2015 and the years to come are brimming with potential for IRD and we will need to apply ourselves and remain rigorous in our work.

IRD is active in nearly 50 countries in the South. Through its network of 29 representative bodies, it forms and leads close partnerships with the scientific, university and academic communities in the South. Tasked with establishing relations with local institutions, this network provides institutional representation, supporting the
Institute in its strategic orientations and promoting its actions. IRD’s activity in the South is also implemented via the International joint laboratories (IJLs) run jointly by organisations from the North and South.
This network is all part of French scientific diplomacy and forges durable links with the South, contributing to public aid for development.
Despite a context of instability in certain regions, IRD works in the least developed countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, and in other countries in the
South and East of the Mediterranean. It is also active in emerging and middle-income countries in Southeast
Asia and South America.

IRD heads regional interand cross-disciplinary research projects in the three main research fields of health, communities, and the environment. It thus works with its partners from the South to address the major sustainable development issues, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, food safety, the emergence of infectious diseases, the fight against poverty and inequalities, access to education and healthcare systems, to name but a few. Understanding the mechanisms behind these global changes, how society is adapting to their impacts and how to reduce their consequences are all significant scientific challenges and key questions for communities in the South.
With the goal of running research projects built jointly with countries of the South, IRD invites partner institutions to contribute to its scientific programming, most notably through IJLs (International Joint
Laboratories) and RMPs (Regional Multidisciplinary
Programmes). Based on shared North-South coordination, these vehicles for scientific cooperation aim to structure research capacities in the South and encourage North-
South and South-South partnerships.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH
T he latest reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC), published in 2014, clearly demonstrate the impacts of human activity on the climatic system and lists the effects of current climate change on ecosystems. These conclusions are based on a growing body of scientific work. The research carried out by IRD’s teams help understand the mechanisms behind these changes, measure the consequences and put forward solutions aimed at better anticipating these changes and attenuating the effects. Among the research carried out in 2014, several studies looked at climate change and the sustainable management of resources, for example in the mountainous regions of Tanzania or in Vietnam, where researchers are studying soil erosion and more sustainable farming methods. The global change also affects biodiversity. This can be seen in coral reefs where, for the first time, a study has revealed the effects of human activity on the diversity of fish communities. The fundamental workings of the climate system in tropical areas are also subject to research at varying levels of observation, including satellite oceanography.
A large share of this research is carried out as part of partnerships such as the RMPs, the IJLs, environment observatories or shared platforms. The RMP known as Cute looks at coastal and upwelling ecosystems while the IJL Cosys-Med studies contaminants and ecosystems in the southern Mediterranean. Both were launched in 2014.

Coral reefs and related ecosystems are reservoirs of biodiversity but are under major threat from natural and anthropogenic interference.
In addition to biodiversity loss, the consequences of global change also affect the phylogenetic and functional diversity of species within communities. In New Caledonia, a study has revealed for the first time the effects of human activity on the multifaceted diversity of fish communities. Scientists have demonstrated that the density of the human population has a stronger impact on phylogenetic and functional diversity than on the number of species. Not only are humans causing the loss of species, but they are also considerably reducing the diversity of functions provided by fish communities and the richness of their evolutionary history.

EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH
I n compliance with four of the Millennium Development Goals
(1, 4, 5 and 6), researchers contribute to the fight against extreme poverty and malnutrition, child mortality, maternal health issues, HIV, malaria and several other infectious diseases. They have applied their expertise in response to the threat of emerging pandemics, such as the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Teams are also studying epidemiological transition diseases, especially cancers. Liver cancer caused by the hepatitis B and C viruses and cervical cancer linked to the human papillomavirus are genuine public health issues in the countries of the South, and have been examined during three clinical studies in Asia. These studies concerned the prevention of transmission of the hepatitis B virus from mother to child, the treatment of hepatitis C among HIV-positive adults and papillomavirus infection among women with HIV and under antiretroviral therapy.
In the field of maternal and child health, researchers have, for the first time, demonstrated the effectiveness of molecular biology in screening for asymptomatic malaria, non-detectable by microscope. They also highlighted the adverse effects of these forms of malaria among pregnant women and babies.
The RMP ‘Child health in west and central Africa’ was launched in 2014. Its research focuses on child mortality, maternal health and infectious diseases.
Ebola epidemic / Guinea

On 31 December 2014, the WHO had recorded 7,905 deaths for 20,206 cases of Ebola virus fever in six countries in West Africa.
This virus has long been a preoccupation for IRD researchers, most notably within the Centre international de recherche médicale de Franceville (CIRMF or the Franceville international medical research centre) in Gabon, with the identification of fruit bats as a natural reservoir for the virus, the discovery of a new virus genetic lineage and recombinant viruses, and the existence of natural immunity to Ebola. Several new research projects were launched as part of the French response to the epidemic, coordinated by the national alliance for life sciences and health (Aviesan) and Inserm’s microbiology and infectious diseases institute. Researchers take part in a number of programmes in the fields of diagnosis, care for convalescents and human and social sciences.

It focuses on three major areas of study: development and governance; vulnerabilities, inequalities and growth; social and spatial dynamics and boundaries. In 2014, a number of teams worked on new interpretations of religious aspects in the Arab world, linked to political reshuffling - in Egypt in particular. Others were involved in decoding the religious, Muslim and Christian dynamics among African migrants.
Other areas of research included the vulnerability of the large conurbations in Latin America, the governance of risks and the role of social organisations in preparing for catastrophes.
There was also work on slavery and multiculturalism in Africa. The results were presented at the colloquium «Slavery in Africa: past, legacies and present»».
The year was also marked by the launch of the IJL Meso in Central
America. It endeavours to understand the impact of the intensive circulation of products and goods, individuals, ideas, knowledge, symbolic practices, rules and standards on power relations and the forms of governance of spaces and resources in the region.
For more information: watch the video about southern cities and natural disasters
In spite of its importance in the history and on contemporary issues in African societies, the silence on the slave trade remains almost total on the continent. The duty of memory and the transmission of knowledge related to slavery was the focus of the colloquium «Slavery in Africa: history, legacies and current situations», held in Nairobi in October 2014. This was the first international gathering on slavery and its consequences organised by IRD and its African partners from across the continent. It brought together researchers from West and Central Africa, East Africa, the western part of the Indian Ocean, Europe and North America. One of the main objectives was to ensure a lasting place for the question of slavery in Africa and communities from the west of the Indian Ocean on the research agenda and in social science teaching in African universities and institutions.

PROMOTION, TRAINING AND INFORMATION
The Institute invested €1.1 million in more than fifteen programmes in
2014. Several of them were put together with partners from the South, such as Guyamazon with the states from Northern Brazil, the Guyane region and mainland France, on the theme of the Amazonian biome. In the field of health, IRD provided support to the Aviesan Alliance in establishing a regional centre for the study of emerging pathogens in Southeast Asia. It also managed a number of programmes with the French national research agency (ANR), such as Agriobiosphere looking at the transition towards sustainable production systems, and with other partners like Cirad, AFD, CNRS or the French Global Environment Facility.
The Côte d’Ivoire research ministry also entrusted IRD with management of the teaching and research aspect of the AMRUGE-CI project to support the implementation of the university/higher education reform in Côte d’Ivoire.
Several capacity-building programmes for individuals, research teams and partner institutions are equally being implemented.

Work to promote research findings for the South generated an annual income of €4.6 million. 2014 saw the presentation of the expertise group review on the situation and future of Lake Chad and the launch of a new review on deep mineral resources in French Polynesia.
IRD has appointed «Valorisation Sud» to oversee the transfer of its technologies to the social and economic world. Thanks to various mechanisms, in particular the Innodev and Bond’innov business incubators, the New Caledonia incubator and the Paceim programme, the Institute now supports around a hundred entrepreneurs.
An increasing number of researchers are turning to public-private partnerships to bring their research work to fruition. In 2014, 87 agreements were signed with the private sector.
The dissemination of knowledge and the release of research results to research communities and civil society, in both the North and South, are an important part of the Institute’s activity.
Several tools offering free access to resources have been developed, such as the Horizon database which lists and provides open access to publications by IRD researchers (10,000 pdf documents downloaded everyday) and the Indigo image bank (58,000 photos). IRD also produces documentaries and publishes works.
Press releases, scientific news sheet, the periodical Sciences au Sud and the websites all help spread the Institute’s work, especially in developing countries.
Travelling exhibitions, conference debates and actions involving young people all help raise awareness about research for development among society as a whole and the younger generations especially.
To mark the International Year of Family Farming, IRD also launched a new web platform named «Suds en ligne» containing photo galleries and a web documentary.

IRD benefits from a very wide variety of working cultures to help it in its work. It endeavours to improve knowledge of its agents’ work and their working conditions in the North and the South, in order to provide better support for their careers. Effective management control was applied during the year. The resources allocated to partnership structuring mechanisms in the South (RMPs and IJLs) rose under the combined effect of ring-fencing of resources attributed through State subsidies and a rise in the portion of expenses funded by contractual resources. Research activities and the working environment also benefited from active investment, with the funding of new equipment for the insectarium in
Montpellier, the Bondy digital campus programme and the
Océanomed project at the Luminy campus in Marseille.
