Introduction

The International Research Network Paleobiodiverity in South-east Asia is managed on the French side, by Dr. Valery ZEITOUN, CNRS research director at the Centre de Recherche en Paléontologie, Paris (UMR7207) with the administrative support of Angelina BASTOS. It has been launched in January 2015 and renewed in 2019.

Missions and research themes

The IRN-PalBioDivASE aims to set-up a collaborative research network on paleobiodiversity in South-east Asia between seven CNRS French laboratories, accompanied by their supporting universities and Museum, and twenty European, American and Asian Institutes. The scientific topics of the network focus on the paleobiogeographical history of South-east Asia, the Asian Inter-basin correlations and the origin and recent dynamics of modern biodiversity in South-east Asia. It targets reinforcement of our knowledge on the evolution of biodiversity in South-east Asia at different scales.

    NETWORK ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS

    To reach these targets, the following activities are envisaged:

    • The organization of workshops, seminars and training schools within the network partners, but also open to additional regional collaborators.
    • To promote the exchange of permanent researchers and professors as well as master, doctoral and post-doctoral students. In particular, the training of students in the field and in collections will be pursued with the support from our different teams.
    • Co-participation to international congresses & conferences where the multidisciplinary expertise of the Network will be recognised and showcased.
    • To act as driver for attracting international attention to the erosion of Biodiversity.
    • To act for the enhancement and safeguard of the paleontological heritage.

    To draw-up joint publications and implementation of joint projects between French and Foreign partners within the IRN-PalBioDivASE research targets.
