Partnerships with foreign universities

European Academy of Venice (EIUC – European Interuniversities Center)

Montpellier University and, within it, the Institute for European Human Rights Law (IDEDH) attached to the Faculty of Law and Political Science, are partners of the European Inter-University Center (EIUC – European Academy of Venice).

Professor Frédéric Sudre, Director ofIDEDH, is the EMA National Director for Montpellier, meaning he is the principal manager ofthis program fundedby the European Union.

Students selected by the European Academy of Venice to study for a Master's degree in European and International Human Rights Protection spend their first semester in Venice and their second semester at one of the 41 partner universities. Each year, between two and three students from this academy are welcomed to the IDEDH, where they attend classes and prepare their thesis under the supervision of an IDEDH professor.

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED LABORATORY (LIA) – "CONTRACTS, SECURITY INTERESTS, AND INSOLVENCY OF CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES"

As part of the strategic partnership established between the University of Montpellier and Laval University (Canada), an agreement formalizes the creation of an International Associated Laboratory (LIA-CSI) designed to develop collaboration between academics from the law faculties of both institutions. Initiated by Professors Aurore Benadiba and Christophe Albiges, the agreement aims to set up research projects within a framework that facilitates the transfer of knowledge in contract law, security law, collective proceedings, and related fields such as property law. These common research themes are an extension of those already developed within the Private Law Laboratory (UR UM207) and the Chair for the Prevention and Treatment of Business Difficulties at Labex Entreprendre.

With its international dimension, this international joint laboratory will be a place for knowledge creation and dissemination between the two institutions, based on a shared scientific program. The aim of the partnership is to promote the exchange of expertise, the organization of scientific events, joint publications, the awarding of scholarships, and the international mobility of students as part of their training (Master's, PhD).
