# Science Is Fun: From Collaborative Innovation to Euromov’s Flying Carpet
Welcome to the program co-produced by the University of Montpellier andDivergence-FM, which takes you on a tour of the laboratories of the Muse archipelago. This week, we’re discussing collaborative innovation with Anne-Sophie Fernandez and Frédéric Leroy from the Coo-innov Chair. In the second half of the show, we’ll take you toEuromov, where Stéphane Perrey will introduce us to his“flying carpet.” Finally,Amrin’s segmentwill discuss perfume. Enjoy the show!
Whether technical, medical, cultural, or digital, innovation is now the primary means of leveraging research. In 2018, more than 1,000 patent applications were filed in the Occitanie region alone. But are these innovations—proposed by research institutions such as the CNRS or the University of Montpellier, as well as by companies and startups—the result of collaboration or the subject of fierce competition? To examine these practices and gain a better understanding of the innovation ecosystem, theCoo-innov Chairwas established in Montpellier in 2020. It is led by Anne-Sophie Fernandez and Frédéric Leroy, both researchers atMontpellier Research in Management. They present their first report on collaborative innovation in Montpellier.
In the second half of the program, the segment “En salle des machines” takes you to Euromov. Located on theUFR Staps campus, this laboratory studies the identification of motor signatures of health—in other words, how physiological, neuromuscular, and sensorimotor markers, among others, form a true behavioral map. On the I-Mose simulation platform, Stéphane Perrey, Professor director of Euromov, introduces us to the“flying carpet.”
To wrap things up, there’s a whiff of perfume in the air with *La Chronique d’Amrin*, which tells us about the subtle collaboration between Montpellier-based perfumer ArthurDupuy and professor and researcher Isabelle Parrot…
