Timothée Fouqueray

Timothée Fouqueray serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Rennes Higher Normal School (ENS Rennes) since the 2025 academic year, driving interdisciplinary research at the nexus of ecology, social sciences, and policy to address climate and biodiversity crises.

His academic foundation includes:

• Biology studies at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS Lyon)
• PhD completion in Political Science, Ecology, and Strategy at AgroParisTech (2025)

Fouqueray's research integrates technical, social, legal, and economic dimensions to co-construct climate adaptation strategies. Core interests include forest management under climate stress, agroecological transitions via land policy innovations, and participatory governance models that merge spatial modeling with citizen engagement. His transdisciplinary approach prioritizes actionable outcomes for farmers and biodiversity conservation, notably through stakeholder-inclusive frameworks that transform environmental law into practical tools for territorial planning.

Recent publications reveal a trajectory toward transformative biodiversity governance and regenerative agricultural practices, emphasizing how participatory methodologies bridge scientific assessments like IPBES with localized implementation. This work consistently centers community-driven solutions over purely indicator-based approaches.

Key recognition includes:

• 2024 TISSAGE award for "Transcended Project: when art meets agriculture"

Fouqueray secured French National Research Agency (ANR) funding for agricultural plot exchange research, collaborating with the Chamber of Agriculture to develop legal-spatial tools that enhance farmer livelihoods while conserving meadows. His Senate presentations and IPBES contributions demonstrate policy impact, though formal student advising isn't documented. Current work extends through artist residencies (e.g., "Au bout du plongeoir") to materialize agricultural futures.

Previously at CNRS's LETG laboratory in Rennes, he built international expertise via Quebec forestry strategies, Guyanese ecological inventories, and Amazonian NGO fieldwork—now converging at ENS Rennes to strengthen research-society-territory linkages through committed interdisciplinarity.
