The LICeM brings together faculty members and researchers who are deeply engaged in the field of innovation, particularly in economic law. The unit, composed of legal scholars, focuses its research on two areas related to innovation and the law. The first area aims to identify and understand, in light of new market offerings and behaviors, what legal innovations are being created. The second area seeks to analyze the legal framework governing innovative products resulting from digital technologies. The team’s research serves as an important foundation for the courses it offers at the Master’s and University Diploma (DU) levels: consumer affairs, distribution and competition; intellectual property and digital law; and food law.

The EDSM’s general research focus is on collective bargaining. Following the fundamental reforms of recent years, the specific aim is to assess the social innovation brought about by collective bargaining agreements and conventions.It also focuses, in particular, on the topic of small businesses, seeking to assess the suitability (or unsuitability) of labor law for small businesses. A common thread throughout is the central issue of (collective) bargaining in very small businesses.In addition to this general theme, the unit has taken on a second research topic focusing on occupational health (quality of life at work, social security, CSR).

CERCOP is a research team whose research focuses on examining what has come to be known, since the development of constitutional justice and the sophistication of human rights protection techniques, as “the new constitutional law.” The first research area is dedicated to the study and analysis of constitutional litigation and its implications for the democratic balance of political systems. The second addresses the study of constitutional law in light of state theory and the philosophy of law. The third is devoted to the epistemology of comparative law and the comparative analysis of constitutional systems around the world.The fourth focuses on “punitive constitutional law” and constitutional case law regarding rights and freedoms.

CEPEL operates within the scientific fields of political science and sociology. The Public Health sector has gradually expanded, particularly through unsolicited requests from hospital practitioners seeking to focus their scientific work on the humanities and social sciences. CEPEL’s evolution is aligned with the scientific strategies of its sponsoring institutions (UM) and fits within the themes specific to the Montpellier campus (feeding—caring—protecting), while maintaining its historical expertise in the fields of public policy and comparative studies.

Public Economics – Environmental Economics – Behavioral Economics – Industrial Organization – Applied Econometrics. The Montpellier Center for Environmental Economics (CEE-M) is a research unit established on January 1, 2018, under the auspices of the University of Montpellier, INRA, CNRS, and Montpellier SupAgro. It is a consortium of economists comprising approximately 60 members who conduct research on all issues related to environmental preservation and human interaction with the environment. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the unit draws on all economic methodologies, with an emphasis on experimental and behavioral economics.

Its objective is to assess whether high exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) pollution increases the risk of COVID-19-related deaths or hospitalizations. To this end, the project uses anonymized health data from the National Health Data System (SNDS), covering the period from 2015 to 2021. This data includes, in particular, COVID-19 deaths, hospitalizations, vaccinations, and testing, analyzed at the municipal level, by age, and by sex. The research is conducted in a secure environment that complies with CNIL requirements. The data is retained for 4 years, with a possible 2-year extension, and then deleted. Data subjects have rights regarding their data (access, rectification, objection, erasure, restriction) and may contact the University of Montpellier’s Data Protection Officer or file a complaint with the CNIL.

Founded in 1966, the Center for Business Law offers training and research guided by the motto “Learn to Be an Entrepreneur.” The Center’s research activities currently focus primarily on contract law, distribution law, intellectual property law, and customary law.The unit collaborates on five master’s programs and offers students the opportunity to learn both written and unwritten legal rules—at the national, European, and international levels—in the areas of contract law, tax law, corporate law, property law, and insurance law. Most of these programs are now open to apprenticeship students. These educational and research activities aim to foster a practical and entrepreneurial approach to law.

The ART-Dev Joint Research Unit explores the links between territories and contrasting development dynamics. The analysis of these links takes into account resource mobilization, as well as the strategies and configurations of actors that influence public policy, the economy, and the environment. ART-Dev’s scientific focus spans several thematic areas (rural, urban, environment, energy, migration, transportation, etc.) and diverse geographic regions (North and South). One of the unit’s distinctive features is its ability to compare contexts in the North and South, as well as contrasting situations within the same country. Its current scientific project is structured around three research axes and a cross-cutting program: Axis 1: Rural Restructuring and Public Policy; Axis 2: Natural Resources and Environmental Regulation; Axis 3: Interfaces, Embedding, and Mobility in Globalization; Cross-cutting Program: Asymmetries, Public Action, and Scales of Action.

The European Institute of Membranes (IEM) was founded in 2000. The institute brings together approximately 75 permanent staff members and about 100 non-permanent staff (master’s students, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and visiting professors) to work on research, commercialization, and training projects in the field of membrane materials and processes. IEM with the École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier (ENSCM), the University of Montpellier (UM), and the National Center for Research (CNRS), and is located on the Triolet campus (UM). IEM objectiveIEM to develop membranes and membrane processes that are likely to have significant societal implications in the fields of energy, water treatment, environmental protection, health, and food. It therefore brings together scientists from complementary disciplines to conduct multidisciplinary research that leverages highly specialized expertise in: understanding the nature and structure of membranes, in terms of the materials used, their morphology, and the configuration employed; identifying and controlling the interactions between the membrane surface, the environment, and the solutes to be separated; the development of a process engineering and membrane engineering approach to model these phenomena and perform scale-up. IEM organized into three scientific departments: “Design of Membrane Materials and Multifunctional Systems – DM3”; “Membrane Process Engineering – GPM ; “Interfaces, Physical Chemistry, Polymers – IP2.” The DM3 and IP2 departments are affiliated with the Balard Doctoral School of Chemical Sciences (ED SCB 459), and the GPM department GPM affiliated with the Doctoral School of Biodiversity, Agriculture, Food, Environment, Earth, and Water (ED GAIA 584). In addition,IEM various analytical services (see website).
