INRAE's infrastructures bring together a wide range of equipment, facilities and resources for the scientific communities, both public and private, covering all its research themes. They offer services ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem scale in 6 main areas:
In addition to data production and management services developed as part of an Open Science approach, INRAE infrastructures play a major role in technological and methodological development, innovation and training.
More than a quarter of the INRAE budget and over 1,800 FTEs are dedicated to Research Infrastructures.
INRAE infrastructures take part in numerous programs in collaboration with other RIs or within national and European RIs.
To date, INRAE contributes to 19 infrastructures positioned on the national Infrastructures Roadmap (8 of which it coordinates) https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2023-02/french-national-strategy-on-research-infrastructures---2021-26489.pdf and is a partner in 10 ESFRI projects or landmarks https://roadmap2021.esfri.eu/.
