Le Centre national de la recherche scientifique est un organisme public de recherche (Établissement public à caractère scientifique et technologique, placé sous la tutelle du Ministère de l'Éducation nationale, de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche). Il produit du savoir et met ce savoir au service de la société.
Sa gouvernance est assurée par Alain Fuchs, président du CNRS, assisté de deux directeurs généraux délégués : Anne Peyroche à la science, Christophe Coudroy aux ressources, et d'un délégué général à la valorisation : Nicolas Castoldi.
Avec près de 32 000 personnes (dont 24 617 statutaires - 11 106 chercheurs et 13 511 ingénieurs, techniciens et administratifs), un budget pour 2015 de 3,3 milliards d'euros dont 769 millions d'euros de ressources propres, une implantation sur l'ensemble du territoire national, le CNRS exerce son activité dans tous les champs de la connaissance, en s'appuyant sur plus de 1100 unités de recherche et de service.
Avec 20 lauréats du prix Nobel et 12 de la Médaille Fields, le CNRS a une longue tradition d’excellence. Chaque année le CNRS décerne la médaille d’or, considérée comme la plus haute distinction scientifique française.

Bringing together social-ecological system and territoire concepts to explore nature-society dynamics
We examine two academic traditions that address the nature-society interface. These traditions are organized around two main concepts: social-ecological system and territoire. These traditions have grown independently and are rooted respectively in ecology and social geography. We show that they have much in common: Both come with a systemic view of the nature-society interface and have the intention of understanding better the relations between nature and society and improving their sustainability. However, they differ in how they deal with space and society.
Farmer seed networks make a limited contribution to agriculture? Four common misconceptions
The importance of seed provisioning in food security and nutrition, agricultural development and rural livelihoods, and agrobiodiversity and germplasm conservation is well accepted by policy makers, practitioners and researchers. The role of farmer seed networks is less well understood and yet is central to debates on current issues ranging from seed sovereignty and rights for farmers to GMOs and the conservation of crop germplasm. In this paper we identify four common misconceptions regarding the nature and importance of farmer seed networks today.
Evaluating Impacts of Urban Land Titling: Results and Implications: Preliminary Findings
This paper contains a preliminary summary of key issues and findings from a desk review of
the literature on land titling projects and programmes in urban and peri-urban areas of
developing countries. It draws on a large number of documents, not all of which have been
incorporated into the review at the time of writing. The present bibliography will be
expanded in the final text of the review which is to be completed by early December 2006.
Promoting Social Inclusion in Urban Areas: Policies and Practices
According to recent UN estimates, 924 million people - nearly one out of three urban dwellers – were living in slums in 2004. Of these, 874 million are from low and middle-income countries (Millennium Project, 2005). Urban poverty as a proportion of total poverty is clearly increasing: 43% of the population of developing cities are living in slums (28% in North Africa, 71% in sub-
