Areas of interest

CIRM's research focuses on mountain territories, particularly the Alps. To integrate findings from diverse studies, three regions are examined in greater detail: the Valais Alps, the Vaud Alps, and the Vaud Jura.

These three regions interface between high/mid-mountain and plain environments, as well as rural and urban areas across two different cantons, each facing specific and complex development challenges.

A significant portion of CIRM's activities takes place at the UNIL campus in Sion.
