The ART-Dev joint research unit explores the links between territories and contrasting development dynamics. The analysis of these links takes into account the mobilization of resources, strategies, and configurations of actors affecting public policy, the economy, and the environment. ART-Dev's scientific positioning covers several themes (rural, urban, environment, energy, migration, transport, etc.) and diverse geographical areas (North and South). One of the unit's unique features is its ability to compare fields in the South and North and contrasting situations within the same country. Its current scientific project is structured around three areas of research and a cross-disciplinary program: Area 1: Rural restructuring and public policy; Area 2: Natural resources and environmental regulation; Area 3: Interfaces, anchors, and circulation in globalization. Cross-disciplinary program: Asymmetries, public action, and scale effects.

The Bacterial Virulence and Chronic Infections Laboratory (VBIC) (University of Montpellier, INSERM) was created on January 1, 2011, and is located at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in Nîmes. In January 2023, the Staphylococcal Infection Biology Project team, based at the Triolet site in Montpellier, joined VBIC. We take a bench-to-bedside approach, using fundamental and translational research to solve clinically relevant problems. Through close collaboration between basic scientists, clinicians, and biologists at the Nîmes University Hospital, we use integrative and multidisciplinary approaches to understand the cellular and molecular basis of host/pathogen interactions and microbial interactions in chronic wounds, and to apply our discoveries in clinical practice. We are also the National Reference Center for Brucellosis. We focus on the following pathologies: Brucellosis; Opportunistic infections caused by the Burkholderia cepacia complex Chronic wound infections Staphylococcal infections.

Infectious diseases are involved in 35% of deaths worldwide and are the leading cause of death among children and young adults. In addition, 17% of new cancer cases are believed to be caused by infectious agents. Research in infectious diseases is therefore essential to better understand how an infectious agent multiplies within a living organism in order to prevent, treat, and even cure the diseases caused by these infections. The IRIM (Montpellier Institute for Research Infectious Diseases) is a research center focused primarily on high-quality fundamental research in the fields of bacteriology, virology, and immunity.
