OBSERVING FOR UNDERSTANDING AND FORECASTING THE KEYS OF THE ENVIRONMENT THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE THE SECRETS OF THE EARTH Réalisé par le service communication de l’OSUG | Avril 2017 -- Iconographie © Rebus, OSUG et unités, photothèques CNRS, ESO, ESA. OSUG@2020 : Innovative strategies for observing and modelling natural systems is a selected project as part of “laboratories of excellence” and funded by “investments for the future”, a program launched by the Government and implemented by the National Research Agency. 2020 Lab Ex OSUG @ To carry out its multidisciplinary mission over the period 2011-2019, LabEx OSUG@2020 will implement the following actions, for a total of 11 million euros: • Research and Observation, 6 million euros, of which 4 millions will be invested in equipment; • Training, 3 million euros, of which 2 millions will be dedicated to young researchers and international exchange; • Technology transfer, support to decision makers, outreach: approximately 1 million euros devoted in particular to issues of “risk and society” and entrepreneurship. Main axes of the project : • expand observing systems and better connect and process data collected for modeling purposes, in order to improve our understanding of natural systems and our ability to predict them; • extend our shared expertise on environmental issues, including their impact on humans, and provide our expertise as a service in advising public policy; • attract and train more students through innovative tools and programs, in order to further address strategic research priorities in urgent environmental issues, ecotechnologies, social sciences and health, etc. The LabEx OSUG@2020 federates the following research units: Institut des Sciences de la Terre Institut de Planétologie et d’Astrophysique de Grenoble Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement Laboratoire des Ecoulements Géophysiques et Industriels Laboratoire d’Ecologie Alpine Centre d’Etude de la Neige du CNRM-GAME Groupe Risques, Crises et Catastrophes du laboratoire PACTE équipe Signal Images Physique du Gipsa-Lab ligne FAME au synchrotron ESRF équipe LAsers Milieux dilués et Environnement du LIPhy Centre Irstea de Grenoble Station alpine Joseph Fourier approximately 390 researchers and teachers, 260 engineers, technicians and administrative staff, 310 students and postdocs.
