TRIGGER is an international scientific coordination network meant to pursue and develop the collaborations between Iran and France in the field of Geology/Geodynamics, Earthquakes (and hazard assessment) and Mineral resources.
This network rests on collaboration already well established at the start of the Millenium but with a broader scope and more participants, both on the Iranian and French sides. Participation of scientists from other European countries is also foreseen. More specifically its aim is to build and develop the already ancient, fruitful and friendly collaboration between Iran and France, and to promote collaborative science and good practices in the domain of Earth sciences.

Some of the focus points of the network will be to organize conference, promote the exchange of students between the two countries, but also develop new collaboration and jointly achieve major scientific breakthroughs. Until now, 16 projects have been started in collaboration between French and Iranian universities in the framework of the TRIGGER. You can find all 16 projects pointed by pins in this map categorized by themes.
