Laboratory for Innovation, Communication, and Market Research (LICeM)
Content type: Page
The LICeM brings together teachers and researchers who are heavily involved in the field of innovation, particularly in economic law. The unit, composed of lawyers, focuses its research on two areas related to innovation in its relationship to law.

The general research theme of the EDSM focuses on collective bargaining. Following the fundamental reforms of recent years, the aim is, more specifically, to assess the social innovation brought about by collective labor agreements and conventions.It also focuses more specifically on small businesses, attempting to assess the suitability (or unsuitability) of labor law for small businesses. The central issue of (collective) bargaining in very small businesses remains a common thread.Alongside this general theme, the unit has embarked on a second research topic, focusing on health at work (quality of life at work, social security, CSR).

Its objective is to assess whether high exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) pollution increases the risk of death or hospitalization related to COVID-19. To do this, the project uses anonymized health data from the National Health Data System (SNDS), covering the period from 2015 to 2021. This data includes deaths, hospitalizations, vaccinations, and COVID-19 testing, analyzed at the municipal level, by age and gender. The research is conducted in a secure environment, in accordance with CNIL requirements. The data is stored for four years, with a possible two-year extension, and then deleted. The individuals concerned have rights over their data (access, rectification, opposition, erasure, limitation) and may contact the data protection officer at the University of Montpellier or refer the matter to the CNIL in the event of a complaint.

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 Southern and Northern fields and contrasting situations within the same country. Its current scientific project is structured around three research areas 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.
