The knowledge Communities (CoSav) are forums for dialogue and exchange bringing together IRD staff and partners around major societal challenges.
The knowledge communities are both an internal cement for the IRD and a support point for federating and innovative activities. These communities provide a framework for collaboration conducive to the emergence and co-construction of multi-stakeholder projects.
By pursuing a transdisciplinary approach, and with the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) as a benchmark, the knowledge communities aim to facilitate the response to concrete opportunities such as setting up projects, preparing syntheses, investing in new collaborative tools, responding to institutional requests and international organisations, and making sustainability science and its methods more visible and accessible.
The IRD has nine the knowledge communities, each of which is coordinated by one of the nine scientific advisors appointed by the IRD's governance :

Each knowledge community is proposing a roadmap setting out its challenges, priority themes and activities for 2022-2023. The activities of the CoSavs can be broken down into nine main categories of action proposed and implemented by CoSav members on a participatory and voluntary basis.
