French term or phrase: chantier (in context)

This is about the uniting of university laboratories working in different science fields, here the study of global change...
Context:
Ce qui peut également fédérer ce pôle qui a intrinsèquement une approche “objet”, c’est un grand chantier “Méditerranée”, objet très fédérateur entre disciplines : la tectonique, des aspects biologiques traités à Banyuls, Villefranche et sur le campus parisien, les aspects océanographie et couplage océan-atmosphère (LMD / IPSL). Ce point est d’autant plus important qu’il permettra à l’université de prendre une place très significative dans le futur chantier Méditerranée en cours de réflexion à l’INSU qui devrait faire suite au chantier AMMA (mousson africaine).

workshop

Explanation:
Thought I would suggest this as I have heard it used to describe multi-disciplinary get-togethers on a few occasions!

And I think such get-togethers are usually quite practical, involving lots of "doing" as opposed to just talking!
