Short name: MEEDDAT 
The French Ministry of Ecology, Energy, Sustainable Development, and Territorial Development (MEEDDAT) was established in 1971. The MEEDDAT’s mission is to monitor the quality of the environment, protect nature, prevent, reduce or totally eliminate pollution and other nuisances, and enhance the quality of life. It undertakes two different types of actions. The first are aimed at preserving and protecting spaces and species. The second are aimed at developing research, at improving knowledge of the state of the environment and taking account of our concerns at both the European and international levels. Both these types of activities also contribute to educating, training, raising awareness and informing all the actors, whether public or private those are able to contribute to the protection of the environment. MEEDDAT manages and funds a portfolio of 20-25 research programmes.
