Observatories

We have set up a number of Observatories to allow more in-depth analysis of certain contexts. They make it possible to adopt a mid- to long-term strategic approach, carry out studies rooted in operational realities and provide actors in the field with learning support. Observatories are open for a given period and have specific staff.
