Visages de l'équipe et compétences 

A multidisciplinary team 

The CPIE has its offices at Saint-Etienne Castle in Aurillac in an area known as the Biopôle, a site for businesses, schools and centres involved in scientific study and research. The team is made up of multidisciplinary staffwho can conduct both scientific and educational work for the benefit of professionals as well as the wider community.

A team with scientific and technical skills

Our team is made up of staff from a wide range of different backgrounds and who havevarious qualifications (e.g. Master’s degree in Science and Geography, Master’s degree in Ecology, Biodiversity and Conservation, HND in Conservation and Resource Management) and specialist knowledge (engineer in agronomy, environmental adviser, mountain guides). Thanks to the team’srange of skills and knowledge,  the CPIE is qualified to address different environmental issues across Cantal by conducting environmental inventories,implementing on-site quality monitoring schemes, carrying out studies prior to site management andtaking part in local steering groups for environmental work.

The association also has a team of administrators, all volunteers, whose skills and knowledge in fields such as geology, tourism and meteorology can add to the technical skills of the permanent staff. 

Workshops, visits and educational programmes

The CPIE organizesworkshops, visits and educational programmes forprimary schools, secondary schools and universities as well as the general public. Our team can also run training courses and organize conferences on subjects such as volcanology, water, natural ecosystems,plants, wildlife, landscapes and environmental citizenship. Our educational programmes are developed thanks to the team’s in-depth knowledge of the local natural environment and they draw on “real life”examples of different forms of site and resource management.
