Teaching and research
A practitioner of so-called “complex” negotiation (multi-actor, issues, spatial and temporal scales), he completed his initial training with a certificate of Advanced Study in Environmental Strategy within AgroParisTech.
Since then, he has spoken every year to students of the Master of Specialization in Public Policy and Environmental Strategy at AgroParisTech, as well as to students at Science Po Rennes.
For 3 years he was involved in the research program “Human enterprises: Ecology and accounting philosophies” at the Collège des Bernardins, at the same time he closely followed the work of the AgroParisTech Chair of Environmental Accounting.
His “atypical” career path has been the occasion for numerous awareness-raising events which today lead him to work towards the implementation of a positive and constructive dialogue between businesses, communities, public and private finance stakeholders in order to accelerate the consideration of Biodiversity issues.
