A LA UNE: MidiSciences 2022
We are pleased to announce that MidiSciences will finally resume in 2022 after a one-year absence.
These are short lectures on a wide variety of subjects aimed at the general public. The objective is to convey the essence of a research topic and then to share, during a discussion, the questions and reflections on the knowledge in progress.
Due to sanitary measures, only students and staff of the university can attend the MidiSciences in person.
The Midisciences are offered on both campuses:
- January to mid-March, Hannah Arendt Campus, amphitheatre 2E01, 1 to 2 pm
- From the end of March to mid-May, Jean-Henri Fabre Campus, Agrosciences amphitheatre from 1 to 2 pm
The lectures will be available for viewing online on Canal U.
To follow them live, go here: https://v-au.univ-avignon.fr/live/colloque/
MidiSciences from 24 February to 7 April
The portraits
February 2022 - Christel Vidaller
Christel Vidaller is a lecturer in Ecology, Population Dynamics and Genetics, Conservation and Restoration at Avignon University and a member of the IMBE. Her research focuses on population and plant community dynamics in a restoration ecology context.
Recently, in collaboration with Thierry Dutoit, she investigated which ecosystem services had already been identified in such common environments as intensively cultivated fields or artificial grasslands.
January 2022 - Frédéric Jeorge
Frédéric Jeorge is a doctoral student in Language Sciences at the Cultural Identity, Texts and Theatricality Laboratory (ICTT). After several careers in different countries and fields, he chose to go back to school.
He is now working on the way in which the level of French of young migrants from sub-Saharan Africa is assessed by official testing systems. By transposing his associative activity into formal research, Frédéric Jeorge hopes to give more visibility and concrete means of action to this subject which is close to his heart.

News on valorisation, partnerships and intellectual property
Order of 15/12/21 on the vesting of IP rights in assets obtained by non-employee inventors and hosted by a legal person carrying out research
Ownership of IP rights of trainees and other non-salaried persons hosted in the research unit.
| Reference: Order No. 2021-1658 of 15 December 2021 on the devolution of intellectual property rights on assets obtained by authors of software or inventors who are not employees or public servants hosted by a legal person carrying out research.
This ordinance transposes the regime applicable to inventions and software of employees to persons not employed by the research structure, such as trainees, foreign doctoral students and professors or directors emeritus. |
These adaptations concern, on the one hand, the economic rights on software, which will automatically be vested in the host structure, and, on the other hand, the rights on an invention, which will henceforth be subject to the same rules as those of employed inventors. It will therefore no longer be necessary to sign assignment agreements in the case of trainee inventors/authors. Nevertheless, the latter will still have to benefit from a financial compensation in the case of an invention. The ordinance refers to a future decree for the modalities of these financial compensations. Note that creations protectable by copyright (except software) and/or designs are not concerned. The matter is to be followed up as there should be a draft law ratifying the ordinance and an implementing decree. |

The role of CSTI for society... in 10 minutes.
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Fête de la Science, François MarchalPresident of the State-Region Committee for Scientific, Technical and Industrial Culture, presented his vision of CSTI at the Prefecture of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region.
"If no one asks me what scientific culture is, I know what it is; and if I am asked and want to explain it, I don't know. This is the case with CSTI, Scientific, Technical and Industrial Culture, and its role in society, just as it is with the weather or all those things that are totally obvious to us: they are the most difficult to explain. But that's what I have to do now. And I only have 10 minutes to do it.
