Public Research Center-Gabriel Lippmann (CRP-GL)

The Environment and Agro-biotechnologies (EVA) Department of CRP-GL (www.lippmann.lu) studies the complex mechanisms of natural and anthropogenic ecosystems, with a view to develop assessment tools for conserving these resources, to maintain or re-establish their quality.

EVA, with a staff of more than 80 researchers, engineers and technicians, has developed a multidisciplinary expertise in the environment and agro-biotechnologies, following four strategic lines of development and innovation:

• Earth sciences and land-use management;
• Sciences of the natural and antropogenic environment, and their eco-technology applications;
• Life sciences (animal and plant biology) and their bio-technology applications in agriculture, forestry, horticulture and viticulture;
• Nutrition and toxicology.

The research group, in close collaboration with organic farming associations in Luxembourg (IBLA), has gained experience in phytosociology, especially weed ecology.
