The Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA, pronounced [inʁa]; English: National Institute of Agricultural Research) was a French public research institute dedicated to agricultural science. It was founded in 1946 and is a Public Scientific and Technical Research Establishment under the joint authority of the Ministries of Research and Agriculture. From 1 January 2020 the INRA merged with the IRSTEA ( Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies pour l'environnement et l'agriculture) to create the INRAE ( Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement). [3]
INRA led projects of targeted research for a sustainable agriculture, a safeguarded environment and a healthy and high quality food. Based on the number of publications in agricultural sciences/crops and animal sciences, INRA was the first institute for agricultural research in Europe, and the second in the world. [2] It belonged to the top 1% most cited research institutes. [2]
INRA main tasks were:
INRA was a research institute with 1,840 researchers, 1,756 research engineers and 4,694 lab workers/field workers/administrative staff. In addition, 510 PhD students were trained, and 2,552 interns were employed every year. [2]
INRA was composed of 13 scientific departments:
Moreover, INRA provided tools and support to the scientific community: databases, environmental research observatories, genetic resources centers, experimental platforms, etc.
The past and current directors of INRA include: [4] [5]
In 2014, INRA had 17 regional centres in France, including in the French overseas territories. Most laboratories and facilities located in Paris region are to be moved to the Paris-Saclay research-intensive cluster. [9]
INRA develops partnerships with:
INRA maintained a collection of vines at Domaine de Vassal, in Marseillan near Sète, a site where phylloxera cannot survive. [12] Gouais blanc can be found there.
Researches on vine cultivation are conducted in Pech Rouge estate, in Gruissan. [13] INRA also owns the Château Couhins wine-producing estate near Bordeaux. Many wine grapes have been created at INRA stations including Ederena. [14]
INRA was a member of the consortium for the genome sequencing of Vitis vinifera in 2007.
