The Medias initiative

The MEDIAS-France non-profit organisation aims at encouraging and supporting global and regional change research initiatives connected with sustainable development, in cooperation with national (Eclipse, GICC, IFB, ORE, RTE, Zones-Ateliers,...) and international (IGBP, WCRP, IHDP, Diversitas, FP6,...) programmes. Its original geographic scope covers the Mediterranean basin (MEDI) and subtropical Africa (AS).

MEDIAS-France develops four activity lines, i.e.:

Creation and management of data and metadatabases;

Provision of products derived from satellite-based Earth observation (e.g. the POSTEL project);

General information and specialised training (summer schools, workshops, training sessions, the bilingual English/French MEDIAS Newsletter);

Coordination and consulting (website design and management, administrative support, project management and coordination).

This French governmental non-profit organisation, headquartered in Toulouse (FRANCE), is backed by five governemental bodies (CNES, CNRS, IRD, METEO-FRANCE, Toulouse University) and two private companies ( CLS and SPOT-IMAGE).MEDIAS-France is in charge of coordinating the French contributions to the MEDIAS network, in close collaboration with national laboratories and many other partners in France an abroad.

MEDIAS-France acts as the permanent secretariat to the MEDIAS network and the START Planning Committee for the Mediterranean (MEDCOM). It is as well a partner of ENRICH (European Network for Research In Global CHange), ACMAD (African Centre of Meteorological Applications for Development), and the Sahara and Sahel Observatory.
