Industrial sector (biotech companies, pharmaceutical industry, agro-food industry, ‘green’ technologies): leading research programmes; consulting offices and publishing companies: scientific counseling and communication management; impact studies;
Nature conservation and environmental sector: conservation and management of biodiversity resources; management of nature conservation areas;
Education sector, from secondary schools to higher education institutions;
Academic sector (research and higher education: universities and other higher education institutions, research centres, museums, botanical gardens);
Public sector (local, regional, national, and European level): environmental management, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development: preparation of legal texts, policy implementation; quality control, biosafety, forensic laboratories, development cooperation.
Non-governmental organisations (nature conservation, development cooperation, sustainable development).
As researchers in the academic sector (universities, higher education institutions, museums, botanical gardens, etc.) or the private sector (biotech companies, pharmaceutical firms, agri-food industry), organism biologists are involved in developing fundamental and applied knowledge on living organisms and their functioning and evolution.
As experts in the public sector (public institutions and administrations in charge of environment and nature management, from the local to the European level), in non-governmental organisations (development cooperation, sustainable development), or in private consulting agencies, organism biologists are involved in impact studies, remediating environmental damage, preparing, implementing, and monitoring management plans for nature areas, and conservation, management, and exploitation of biodiversity resources.
Lastly, as teachers and leaders of educational projects in educational institutions, museums, and not-profit organisations in environmental education, biologists take part in science outreach and raising awareness of the role of living organisms for humans.
