How to join

Join the Récolnat GIS!

The national network of naturalist collections (Récolnat) proposes to bring together the actors in charge of the conservation and study of these collections in France. Through its actions, its ambition is to connect the ensembles and the skills distributed over the territory, and to promote with a strong voice the naturalist collections as tools for science and culture. Récolnat is a research infrastructure that has been on the

national roadmap

of the Ministry of Research and Higher Education since 2016. It is also the French hub of the European

DiSSCo

(Distributed System of Scientific Collections) infrastructure.

The Network

This network is made up of any person, public or private, who subscribes and signs the membership agreement founded in the form of a scientific interest group (GIS). Two types of membership are offered: Member and Partner. Members participate in the definition of the collective strategy and the work plan; they each have one vote during the votes in the various instances of the governance of the GIS. The Partners provide and exchange data and can participate in the projects through their contributions. Membership is subject to the payment of a symbolic fee of €1,000/year, while Partner membership is free.
