Station Biologique de Roscoff - Centre de recherche (CNRS - SU)

Founded in 1872, the Station Biologique de Roscoff is a centre for research and higher education in marine biology and ecology. It is under the joint supervision of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Sorbonne University (SU).
The research carried out at the Station Biologique de Roscoff aims to provide a better understanding of the origin and evolution of life, the functioning of ecosystems and the adaptation of marine organisms to global change.
The SBR also contributes to local development by:
- Developing sustainable production systems for marine bio-resources (microbial, plant or animal)
- Researching molecules for applications in animal and plant nutrition and health, thalassotherapy and cosmetics.
