ISIFoR supports you in your RI&D projects
dedicated to subsurface energy and environmental
challenges
An ecosystem of competences
dedicated to geosciences
With more than 865 research FTEs in 11
laboratories, ISIFoR became a reference institute in
its field of study thanks to the numerous advantages
of a territory involved and recognized for a long
time in the field of sustainable engineering of
georesources.
ISIFoR also relies on its parent institutions, which
are the University of Pau and the Adour Region,
the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, the
Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier University, the University
of Bordeaux, the National Polytechnic Institute
of Bordeaux, CNRS, IRD and CNES. ISIFoR is a
founding member of a Carnot for Low Carbon
Impact Energies (Carnot EFIC network) with these
Carnot institutes: Énergies du futur, Icéel, IFPEN RE
and M.I.N.E.S.»
Its knowledge in scientific fields (geochemistry,
analytical sciences and physical-chemistry,
microbiology, materials science, fluid mechanics,
geosciences, mathematics, engineering sciences
and social and legal sciences) applied to the
specificities of the subsurface and of complex
fluids, in association with a world-class network
of instrumental platforms enabling it to cover an
extensive range of competencies, all contribute
to making ISIFoR a key player in national and
international research.
