Our organisation

CEREGE is organised around several decision-making, executive, advisory and policy-making bodies. Governance rests primarily with the Management Committee (CODIR) and the Strategic Steering Committee (COS), alongside the Laboratory Council (CL), the Training and Research Committee and the Staff Committee.

Set up on 1 January 2024, the Executive Committee is made up of six members with complementary roles:

• Lucilla Benedetti, Director, DR CNRS
• Najat Comte, Administrative Manager, IE CNRS
• Melanie Auffan, Deputy Director, DR CNRS
• Laurence Vidal, Deputy Director, Professor at AMU
• Daniel Borschneck, Technical Director of the CEREGE Arbois site, IR CNRS
• Philippe Leonide, Technical Director of the CEREGE Saint-Charles site, MCF AMU

 

The laboratory is structured into four Thematic Teams: Climate, Sustainable Environment, Earth and Planets, Resources, Hydrosystems and Carbonates ; as well as a Research Support Service (SAR).

Organised into 6 analytical and experimental centres, Along with a national instrument, CEREGE’s analytical resources and expertise form an essential foundation for the laboratory’s research activities. These centres support the scientific teams by providing them with infrastructure, instruments and high-level technical expertise.

Finally, a number of working groups, committees, project officers and coordinators contribute to the laboratory’s collective momentum by leading cross-cutting initiatives in line with the management’s strategic priorities: environmental transition, gender equality, collections management, scientific culture and support for PhD students, amongst others.
