Dr Christophe Le Page is a modelling scientist from CIRAD, working in Montpellier (France). He is a member of the Green Research Unit, which is promoting a companion modelling approach (http://www.commod.org) for natural resources management. With a background in fish population dynamics, he has progressively specialized in building agent-based models to simulate the interplay between ecological and social dynamics in ecosystems holding renewable resources used or managed by different categories of stakeholders. He is participating in the development of the CORMAS platform (http://cormas.cirad.fr), with a special interest on spatial aspects and computer-assisted role-playing games.
