french institute of science and technology for transport ... - Ifsttar

4_APPENDICES
IFSTTAR covers a very large number of disciplines and
most of its research projects require a regular exchange of
scientific knowledge. In order to be able to combine a variety
of approaches (economic, psychological, technological,
sociological...), it is therefore very much in the interest of
researchers to group together formally to gain a broader
view of the issues they are dealing with.
This explains why, at the end of 2011, the Scientific
Directorate set up 19 IFSTTAR research and discussion
groups (GERI) in which scientists from most of
the institute’s research structures take part. Several of
them also have members from outside the Institute,
including industry, the public authorities and other research
organizations. The GERIs provide a framework
for multidisciplinary thought and discussion, as well as
cross-prospectives and forward-looking studies.
Each GERI is led by one or more IFSTTAR scientists and deals
with a specific research goal, a scientific tool, a particularly
cross-cutting theme, or any other subject which would benefit
from the involvement of players from several disciplines.
Each GERI follows an annual programme of activities around
its central theme which may involve seminars, national or
international symposiums and the publication of a collective
reference document, guides or papers, etc. The groups provide
an excellent basis for the preparation of collaborations and
projects, as well as the creation of reference groups which if
necessary could provide a more comprehensive response to an
issue concerning transport, planning or networks. In principle
therefore, a GERI is a short-lived incubation structure which
can nevertheless last for a number of years, depending on its
scientific goals and development.
Coordination and management of the GERIs is conducted
by Philippe Dupuy, Hélène Fontaine and Marie-Line
Gallenne, under the IFSTTAR Scientific Directorate.
