IN THE HEADLINE
Launch of the GIF Chair: Geodata, Real Estate, Land
The GIF (Geodata, Real Estate, Land) partnership chair was officially launched on Friday 31 March 2023 on the Hannah Arendt campus of Avignon University.
Co-directed by Laure Casanova Enault and Guilhem BoulayThe GIF Chair has four founding members, all key players in the land and property sector: Adequationa consultancy firm specialising in data and property markets; the Ceremaa public institution specialised in the sustainable development of territories; Best AgentsFrench leader in online property valuation and Union Sociale pour l'HabitatUnion nationale des fédérations d'organismes HLM. These four socio-economic partners, eager to contribute to scientific research, are contributing to the financing of the GIF Chair.
The Chair also benefits from the institutional support ofAvignon Universityof theUMR CNRS 7300 ESPACEand the SOUTH PACA Region.
The team, of about ten members, is composed of teacher-researchers, doctoral students, post-doctoral students and trainees in geography (UMR 7300 ESPACE) and statistics (Laboratoire de Mathématiques d'Avignon - UPR 2151). The different specialities of the members give the chair an interdisciplinary approach that is essential for future research.
Focusing on the question of the selection of real estate by market players and its consequences, the GIF Chair's research programme will primarily use massive, geo-referenced and original data made available by the partners. It will be based on four main objectives:
- Identifying the behaviour of land and property buyers;
- The location of building construction operations ;
- The characterization of timeshare ;
- Estimating the value of land and property assets.

THE PORTRAITS
April 2023
Guilhem Boulay is a lecturer in geography at Avignon University, within the UMR ESPACE.
His research in economic geography focuses on real estate markets. Initially, he focused on the spatio-temporal variability of real estate prices, which was little known (on a fine scale) until recently due to a lack of available data. Real estate data (their massification, quality and availability) is his second research topic. Finally, he is interested in the digital transformation of the real estate market and its impacts both in urban terms (segregation, public regulation) and in the structuring of the sector (disintermediation and reintermediation of the market, evolution of economic models).

Scientific and Technical Culture
[Event] Joint conference between café des sciences and Avignon university
"The genus Homo is not what it used to be" by François Marchal, researcher at the CNRS (ADES UMR 7268 CNRS/AMU/EFS laboratory), palaeoanthropologist
10 May at 8pm at the Théâtre des Halles in Avignon
Did you know that paleoanthropologists no longer know how to define the genus Homo?
If more than fifty years of research have advanced our knowledge enormously, they have also profoundly changed our vision of this gender of ours, to the point where they no longer know, biologically, who and what we are. This conference will propose to understand this ongoing revolution.
