The UAR PAC Chimie Balard Montpellier offers a unique range of equipment for the physicochemical analysis and characterization of materials and biomolecules (analysis of solutions, solids, surfaces, determination of structural, textural and thermodynamic properties). The Montpellier PAC aims to respond to multidisciplinary analytical problems, mainly in the fields of chemistry and at the interfaces between biology and health, agronomy and ecology, and materials and the environment. The Analysis and Characterization Platform offers exceptional measurement capabilities in X-ray Diffraction, Electron Microscopy, NMR Spectroscopy, IR - Raman Spectroscopy, Mössbauer Spectrometry, SQUID magnetometry, EPR spectroscopy, XPS, mass spectrometry, textural and granulometric analysis, chemical analysis (elemental analysis, AAS, ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence), calorimetric and thermal analysis, dielectric spectroscopy. The various departments are organized around centers of expertise based on technical staff dedicated to these instruments, in constant liaison with researchers and Professors specializing in the field. The Plateforme d'Analyse et de Caractérisation du Pôle Chimie Balard is open to the entire academic scientific community, as well as to industry (major groups, SMEs and start-ups). Access to services takes the form of services, collaborations or partnerships, including: analytical services provided by PAC staff, research and development projects, methodological and instrumental developments, and theoretical and practical training.

UMR InterTryp is developing a "One Health" approach to the global elimination of these neglected tropical diseases. It conducts research at different scales (gene, molecule, individual, territory, country, region) to better understand the pathogenic system and assess the risks. In the longer term, it studies the mechanisms of co-evolution between parasites, vectors and symbionts, and mammalian hosts (animal and human) linked to change. It proposes prevention and control methods adapted to the constraints of developing countries: monitoring tools adapted to the context, new therapeutic molecules, vector control, vaccine research. In particular, it is behind the first vaccine against canine leishmaniasis.

The UMR Gestion de l'Eau, Acteurs, Usages brings together 90 permanent researchers and engineers and some 50 PhD and post-doctoral students from all disciplines, working together on integrated and adaptive water management issues. It conducts research on the trajectories of socio-hydrosystems and their regulation; it contributes to the design and evaluation of tools facilitating the implementation of innovative public policies concerning water; it participates in the multidisciplinary training of students in the field of water. UMR G-EAU, part of the MUSE I-Site, is a member of ICIREWARD, a UNESCO Category 2 center on water in Montpellier. The core of UMR G-EAU's project is to understand the functioning of socio-hydrosystems, both in normal operation and in times of crisis or stress (shortage, flooding, pollution). We analyze hydrological, technical, social, economic and political processes within a water-related territory, and their consequences. We are also mobilizing our interdisciplinary strengths to analyze the combined effects of these processes, and ultimately to identify the possibilities for governance and adaptation in complex and uncertain environments. The project includes the design and testing, in interaction with society, of tools and devices aimed at revealing the workings of these systems and intervening on their trajectory. Originating from teams working on irrigated systems, the UMR G-EAU has gradually broadened its focus towards integrated management. It now approaches water-related territories as complex systems, mobilizing a diversity of viewpoints: Plurality of uses and interests: irrigation, drinking water, recreation, energy, purification, flood protection Plurality of water types: surface water, groundwater, wastewater Plurality of processes: water and pollutant transfers, irrigation technologies, economic instruments, public participation, modes of appropriation Plurality of regulation modes: river and canal infrastructures, water access and land use policies, water use standards. Plurality of disciplines For all its research, UMR G-EAU emphasizes approaches rooted in case studies. This means investing in research based on field observation, complemented by experimental approaches carried out in interaction with users and/or managers. To build on the knowledge thus generated, the UMR relies on a wide network of partners and research sites throughout the world, in France and in developing countries, representing a diversity of water-related issues and hydro-ecological, socio-economic and political contexts. A third of our staff are expatriates in North Africa, West and Southern Africa, and South-East Asia. In France, we work closely with institutions in charge of watershed management. Our involvement in the field has led to close interaction with the players involved. Finally, UMR G-EAU is committed to transferring its results. To this end, we mobilize three avenues: Testing proposed techniques and instruments with local institutions, training students in the North at the Montpellier Water Master's program and at the engineering schools that oversee the UMR (Montpellier SupAgro and AgroParisTech), and in the South at Master's programs run by our host partners, and welcoming partner companies, particularly start-ups.
