What is the CEDETE?

 

The CEDETE (Study Center for the Development of Territories and the Environment) is a research unit of the University of Orléans, located on the Orléans - la Source campus.

Research Areas

Two themes are highlighted.

The first relates to water territories, limnosystems, hydrosystems and wetlands, in the context of adaptation to socio-environmental change. Water bodies, lakes and ponds, hydrosystems and wetlands are considered from a physical, environmental, human and social (development, governance) perspective.

The second deals with the dynamics of sustainable local/territorial development of societies and territories in the context of socio-environmental transitions. It interweaves different scales of analysis, on issues relating to the ecological and energy transition, the enhancement of heritage, natural and cultural resources, sustainable rural and urban development, including those linked to sports and leisure practices, right through to social and solidarity-based approaches to local development.
