Research at IUEM

IUEM is a key player in French and European marine sciences research. Benefiting from a privileged environment that brings together more than half of the national potential in this field, its teams are involved in all the major research issues and work on all the oceans. All disciplines studying the marine environment and the activities that take place there are represented: physics, chemistry, biology, genetics, ecology, biogeochemistry, geophysics, geology, geography, law, economics, etc.

4 research themes

The research axes are defined by each laboratory, but some topics of interest to several laboratories are grouped under the name of “priority axes”. In addition, IUEM has defined with its partners research axes within ISblue.


The ocean, a major actor in the biogeochemical cycles and climate of our planet


Marine ecosystems and biodiversity


Still unexplored oceanic depths


The coast, a complex and fragile interface

5 transversal themes

IUEM federates the research units by leading five cross-disciplinary thematic research areas.


Marine biotechnologies


New uses and renewable energy
