  abstract = {{T}he {B}iological {R}esource {C}entre for the {E}nvironment {BRC}4{E}nv is a network of {B}iological {R}esource {C}entres ({BRC}s) and collections whose leading objectives are to improve the visibility of genetic and biological resources maintained by its {BRC}s and collections and to facilitate their use by a large research community, from agriculture research to life sciences and environmental sciences. {I}ts added value relies on sharing skills, harmonizing practices, triggering projects in comparative biology, and ultimately proposing a single-entry portal to facilitate access to documented samples, taking into account the partnership policies of research institutions as well as the legal frame which varies with the biological nature of resources. {BRC}4{E}nv currently includes three {BRC}s: the {C}entre for {S}oil {G}enetic {R}esources of the platform {G}eno{S}ol, in partnership with the {E}uropean {C}onservatory of {S}oil {S}amples; the {E}gg {P}arasitoids {C}ollection ({EP}-{C}oll); and the collection of ichthyological samples, {C}olisa. {BRC}4{E}nv is also associated to several biological collections: microbial consortia (entomopathogenic bacteria, freshwater microalgae...), terrestrial arthropods, nematodes (plant parasitic, entomopathogenic, animal parasitic...), and small mammals. {T}he {BRC}s and collections of {BRC}4{E}nv are involved in partnership with academic scientists, as well as private companies, in the fields of medicinal mining, biocontrol, sustainable agriculture, and additional sectors. {M}oreover, the staff of the {BRC}s is involved in many training courses for students from {F}rench licence degree to {P}h.{D}, engineers, as well as ongoing training.},
