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 involves, more specifically, examining the topic of small businesses, seeking to assess the suitability (or unsuitability) of labor law for small businesses. A central thread throughout is the issue of (collective) bargaining in very small enterprises.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 group 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 “new constitutional law.” The first 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 jurisprudence regarding rights and freedoms.

CEPEL operates within the academic fields of political science and sociology. The Public Health sector has gradually expanded, largely due to unsolicited requests from hospital practitioners seeking to focus their research on the humanities and social sciences. CEPEL’s evolution aligns with the scientific strategies of its sponsoring bodies (UM/CNRS) and addresses themes specific to the Montpellier campus (feeding – caring – protecting), while maintaining its historical expertise in the fields of public policy and comparative studies.

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, deaths, hospitalizations, COVID-19 vaccinations, and testing, analyzed at the municipal level, by age, and by gender. The research is conducted in a secure environment, in compliance with CNIL requirements. The data is retained for 4 years, with a possible extension of 2 years, and then deleted. Data subjects have rights regarding their data (access, rectification, objection, erasure, restriction) and may contact the Data Protection Officer at the University of Montpellier or file a complaint with the CNIL.

Founded in 1966, the Center for Business Law offers educational programs and conducts research guided by the motto “Learn to Innovate.” Today, the Center’s research activities 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. These training 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 themes (rural, urban, environment, energy, migration, transportation, etc.) and diverse geographic areas (North and South). One of the unit’s unique strengths is its ability to compare contexts in the North and South and 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, roots, and mobility in globalization Cross-cutting program: Asymmetries, public action, and the interplay of scales.

The European Institute of Membranes (IEM) was founded in 2000. The institute brings together approximately 75 permanent staff members and around 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 the development of 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 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 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 IBMM conducts research on biomolecules (lipids, sugars, proteins, and DNA/RNA), which are the building blocks of life. This research at the intersection of chemistry and biology contributes to a better understanding of physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as to the development of innovative tools for healthcare: new, more effective treatments (for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases), new medical devices, new approaches in cosmetology, and new diagnostic systems. The expertise of the IBMM teams covers: the design via molecular modeling and the synthesis of biomolecules and derivatives using more efficient, environmentally friendly methods; the development of analytical methods for characterizing biomolecules and their analysis in biological environments; in vitro pharmacological, toxicological, and biological studies of these biomolecules to validate their properties and select the most promising ones to enable their development into new therapeutic and diagnostic systems and devices; The IBMM’s expertise makes it a unique laboratory for commercializing its research, which has notably led to the market launch of two drugs (Macrilen, Sébivo) and the creation of several companies. Immersion within the IBMM provides a unique training opportunity for students wishing to tackle the future challenges of life sciences.

The Bacterial Virulence and Chronic Infections Laboratory (VBIC) (University of Montpellier, INSERM) was established on January 1, 2011, and is located at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in Nîmes. Since January 2023, the "Staphylococcal Infection Biology Project Team," located at the Triolet Campus in Montpellier, has joined the VBIC. We take a "bench-to-bedside" approach, using basic and translational research to address 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 findings in clinical practice. We are also the National Reference Center for Brucellosis. We focus on the following conditions: Brucellosis; Opportunistic infections caused by the Burkholderia cepacia complex; Chronic wound infections; Staphylococcal infections.
