Annual gathering of professionals in the fields of ecology and biodiversity
AdNatura brings together, connects, and showcases all stakeholders in France’s professional ecology and biodiversity sector through a Professional Forum featuring exhibits, conferences, roundtables, workshops, business meetings, and job-matching events.Engineers, technicians, researchers, and managers: professionals from all backgrounds will come together for this event, which will bring together all organizations and stakeholders committed to the ecological transition and biodiversity conservation, both private and public (companies, associations, public institutions, local governments, intermunicipal bodies, government agencies, etc.).Beyond a shared heritage to be preserved and a promising professional sector, biodiversity is the source of sustainable innovations to drive and succeed in the ecological transition that will lead us to sustainable human development. To illustrate this, each year, AdNatura will highlight a timely and forward-looking theme through its conferences, workshops, and roundtables.
For the 2022 edition, “living soils” will be the central theme of the event.
A central issue in European policy since the adoption of the European Parliament’s resolution of April 28, 2021, on its “Farm to Fork” strategy, the preservation, protection, and restoration of soils present a challenge for all stakeholders in France’s professional ecology and biodiversity sector. Net Zero Land Take, preserving greenhouse gas sequestration and sustainable food production functions, maintaining soil’s capacity to support ecosystems, restoring degraded soils, and studying their structure and functioning—all these pressing, timely issues that are critical to our shared future are explored in the rich program of conferences and roundtables at the AdNatura Fair.
Annual event showcasing careers and training programs in ecology and biodiversity
AdNatura enables high school students, college students, recent graduates, and anyone looking to change careers to learn about jobs and employers in the ecology and biodiversity sector in France through a career and training fair featuring booths, conferences, roundtables, workshops, and job-matching events.
Educational institutions offering programs leading to careers as technicians, engineers, and researchers will be represented in all their diversity and complementarity: BTS, Professional Bachelor’s Degrees, Engineering Schools, Master’s Programs, Doctoral Schools, etc.
