LEMNA
The Laboratory of Management and Economy comprises of economists and managers from the Université de Nantes and the Ecole de Mines. Its research activities revolve around 3 main axes: Enterprise-Work-Society, Finance-Environment-Sea and Organisation-Information-Performance. The laboratory is affiliated to three Federations for Research including two CNRS federations (IUML & TEPP). It hosts a Chair of Excellence in Finance-Banking, an Observatory for the continuity of family companies, an Observatory for the socio-economics of fisheries and of marine cultures activities and a valorisation unit “Mer” among Capacités SAS, a branch of Université de Nantes.

GEM
The Research Institute in Civil and Mechanical Engineering is established both at the Ecole Centrale de Nantes and the Université de Nantes. Its building sites are located at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology in Nantes and at the I.U.T Saint-Nazaire. The institute’s main objective is the study of the interactions which characterise complex and coupled systems in solid mechanics and civil engineering.

MMS
The laboratory “Mer, Molécules, Santé” aims to improve our knowledge of marine coastal and estuarine areas, in order to contribute to the integrated and sustainable management of near shore ecosystems. Their approach is twofold and consists in i) the study of ecosystems diversity, functioning and perturbation, and ii) the valorisation of marine organisms or molecules for human health or industrial value-added applications.

LETG
The UMR 6554 Coast, Environment, Remote Sensing and Geomatics (UMR LETG) associates 5 research groups that are based in the Universities of Bretagne Occidentale, Caen, Nantes, Rennes 2 and Angers. The geographical diversity of the UMR LETG is characteristic and coherent to ground geographical knowledge and practices in the west of France. Each group complements the others to study and reflect upon the whole range of spatial research issues. This research unit, composed in majority of geographers, and depending of sections 31 and 39 of the CNRS, is part of the Institute of Ecology and Environment (INEE) and the Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (INSHS).

CRHIA
The Centre brings together teaching and research staff as well as PhD students from the University of Nantes and the University of La Rochelle. It gathers together researchers in ancient history, medieval history, early-modern history, modern/contemporary history, humanities and languages.
Through a field of study which spans all time periods and a thematic focus on the Atlantic area, their global project for 2012-2016 relies on three main research themes: Atlantic worlds, societies, exchanges and powers – France, Europe and the world : international relations, identities and North-South representations – Exchanges and mediations in ancient and medieval worlds.
