The LICeM brings together faculty members and researchers who are deeply involved in the field of innovation, particularly in economic law. The unit, composed of legal scholars, focuses its research on two areas related to innovation as it pertains to 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, meanwhile, 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 and digital property; and food.

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 running through this work is the central question of (collective) bargaining in very small businesses.In addition to this general theme, the unit has taken on a second research topic focused on occupational health (quality of life at work, social security, CSR).
