Les recherches du professeur Tréguer sur la réponse de l’océan Austral aux changements climatiques ont eu beaucoup de résonnance dans la communauté scientifique. Il a propulsé au premier plan le silicium, un élément trop longtemps ignoré bien qu’il soit indispensable à la production des diatomées, ces microalgues siliceuses qui contribuent à plus de 50 % de l’exportation de matière carbonée vers l’océan profond et du quart de l’oxygène que nous respirons. L’approche de recherche interdisciplinaire de M. Tréguer a contribué au développement de la biogéochimie marine. Au cours de sa carrière, il a publié une centaine d’articles dans les plus prestigieuses revues scientifiques, dont Nature et Science. Selon le recteur de l’UQAR, Jean-Pierre Ouellet, le professeur Tréguer représente un modèle de scientifique dont l’approche de recherche multidisciplinaire a permis une progression plus rapide du savoir. « Le parcours de M. Tréguer est remarquable sur le plan de la recherche, mais aussi quant à l’influence qu’il a exercée dans la mise en commun des expertises et dans la promotion de la science comme moteur de développement social et économique. » Le professeur Paul Tréguer s’est engagé, au fil de sa carrière scientifique, dans la mise en place de réseaux multidisciplinaires nationaux, européens et internationaux. Il a fondé, dans les années 1990, l’Institut universitaire européen de la mer (IUEM) sous l’égide de l’Université de Bretagne occidentale et du Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS). En 2004, il a été le président fondateur de l’Europôle Mer, un regroupement qui a donné naissance en 2011 au LabexMER. C’est avec honneur et modestie que M. Tréguer a reçu ce doctorat honorifique de l’Université du Québec. « Je suis touché de recevoir le titre de docteur honoris causa, et particulièrement de la prestigieuse Université du Québec dont le réseau est un modèle qui inspire les universités françaises. » Né à Brest en 1942, Paul Tréguer a reçu de nombreuses distinctions pour son apport au développement des connaissances. En 2007, il a été fait Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur puis, en 2013, la Médaille Georges Millot de l’Académie des sciences lui a été remise. Cette année, M. Tréguer a été élu à l’Académie européenne des sciences (EURASC).

Professor Paul Tréguer, Emeritus Professor of the University of Brest and Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences, receives the Officer Insignia of the National Order of Quebec, from Mr. Philippe Couillard, 1st Minister of Quebec, in Paris, on March 2nd, 2015. COMMUNIQUÉ (text read by Mr. Couillard) "Titulaire d’un diplôme d’ingénieur chimiste et d’un doctorat en océanographie, Paul Tréguer a grandement favorisé l′essor des sciences de la mer. Son influence de chercheur universitaire a permis de fédérer les expertises de ce secteur du savoir. Il a, en effet, contribué à mettre en place des réseaux pluridisciplinaires nationaux, européens, et internationaux voués à accroître la connaissance des océans. Ses responsabilités quant à l’animation de la recherche sur le plan national français et le plan international ont été majeures et très vastes. Il est notamment à l’origine de la création, à Brest, de l’IUEM (Institut universitaire européen de la mer) en 1990 et de l’Europôle Mer en 2004. Âgé de 73 ans, ce Breton a consacré sa carrière à l’étude des océans, notamment l′impact des activités humaines sur les systèmes océaniques et côtiers. Son approche de recherche résolument interdisciplinaire a permis de faire éclore une nouvelle discipline : la « biogéochimie marine ». M. Tréguer a été fait professeur émérite de l’Université de Bretagne occidentale en 2007 et élu membre de l’Académie européenne des sciences (EURASC) en 2014. Depuis 1986 il collabore avec des chercheurs des universités du Québec. Approuvé A Brest le 8 février 2015 " Further information on this link.

Prof. Claude Debru has published, in the European Scientist, an artile entitled "Progress in Science, Progress in Society"regarding the Symposium of EurASc held in Brussels, on November 2016. Abstract: "On November 18-19, 2016, the European Academy of Sciences organized a conference devoted to the theme Progress in Science, Progress in Society, in cooperation with the Académie Royale de Belgique in Brussels. The European Academy of Sciences is an international non-profit organization aiming at promoting excellence in science and technology. It is a community of highly selected, top-level scientists from all-over Europe, and open to a restricted number of non-European scientists with strong research links to Europe. In recent years, the Academy, acting in cooperation with universities in Europe, organized conferences on such topics as Science and Ethics (Porto, 2014) and Impacts on Climate Change (Brest, 2015). Following these multidisciplinary meetings on timely subjects, the conference on Progress in Science Progress in Society was a significant event. It is now published."

The Global Young Academy (GYA) was founded in 2010 with the vision to give young researchers and scholars around the world a voice. Members are chosen for their demonstrated excellence in research and commitment to service. The GYA consists of 200 members, and currently there are 216 alumni from 83 countries. The GYA is hosted at the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, and received its seed funding from the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and the Volkswagen Foundation. Since 2014, GYA is supported by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and other international donors. Global Young Academy activities focus on science and policy, the research environment, and science education and outreachas well as the cross-cutting theme GYA and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Current large, externally-funded projects include the GYA’s Global State of Young Scientists (GloSYS) Africa research project, co-operation on capacity building Science Leadership Programs in Africa and ASEAN, and the emerging project At Risk and Refugee Scholar Membership Initiative. As the voice of young scientists around the world, the GYA publishes statements on international science policy and the research environment for early to mid-career researchers, and maintains active links with international science organizations, including the UN Secretary General’s Scientific Advisory Board (until end of 2016), the Inter-Academy Partnership (IAP), the EU Joint Research Centre (JRC), the International Science Council (ISC), the International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA) and the Global Research Council. As part of its global commitment, the GYA works to reduce the science gap between low, middle, and high-income countries by connecting young scientists with diverse backgrounds. GYA members believe that scientists and researchers need to contribute more than their own research findings to society.
