Laureate of the Laboratory for Excellence project (LabEx) in the program « Investment in the future », the DRIIHM LabEx, InterDisciplinary Research Facility on Human-Environment Interactions, aggregate 131 human-environments observatories (OHM in french), tools for observing socio-ecosystems impacted by anthropic events. Created by CNRS-INEE in 2007, they are located in metropolitan France (6: Bassin Minier de Provence (provence Coalfield), Pyrénées-haut Vicdessos, Vallée du Rhône (Rhone valley), Littoral Méditerranéen (French mediterranean coastal zone), Pays de Bitche (Bitche County) and Fessenheim), overseas France (2: Oyapock (French Guyana), Littoral caraïbe (Caribbean Coast)) and abroad (5: Estarreja (Portugal), Téssékéré (Sénégal), Nunavik (Canada), Pima County (USA), Patagonia-Bahia Exploradores (Chile)).
DRIIHM brings together over 1,400 research staff, including 300 foreigners, from 200 research units in 87 french and foreign universities, 46 research organizations and "Grandes Écoles". It has financed 960 research projects, supervised 190 doctorates, 110 post-doctorates and over 400 Master's degrees.
Our next seminar will take place from June 22 to 24 at the IPHC in Strasbourg.
Registration is open until May 20. In addition to the registration form, you will find all the necessary information about the event: the premiminary program, directions to the IPHC, details about the field trips, a template for PowerPoint presentations, and guidelines for the “Posters” session.
The website is available in two languages:

Our LabEx’s next seminar will take place in Strasbourg at the IPHC on the Cronenbourg campus, 23 rue du Loess, from June 22 to 24, 2026. It is organized by the DRIIHM and, locally, by the OHM Fessenheim.
We will soon share the link to the sciencesConf website for registration and so you can review the seminar agenda.
In the meantime, please mark these dates on your calendars.
We look forward to seeing many of you there.

The ENERGON 2025 Symposium: Energy Transition and Territorial Reconfigurations was held at the MMSH in Aix-en-Provence on November 20 and 21. It brought together approximately 100 researchers for an opening lecture, 27 presentations, and a roundtable discussion.
These two days marked the culmination of a cross-cutting research project involving six Human-Environment Observatories: two abroad—the OHMi Nunavik (Canada) and Pima County (Arizona, USA)—and four in mainland France: the OHM Pays de Bitche (Moselle), Fessenheim (Haut-Rhin), Vallée du Rhône, and finally Bassin Minier de Provence, which, through Sylvie Daviet, served as the lead and coordinator of this three-year project (2021–2024). "The ENERGON project was both retrospective and exploratory: retrospective because it built on the findings of many years of research on various energy-related issues in the participating OHMs (production, infrastructure, institutional and political frameworks, controversies, etc.), but also exploratory because it proposed testing an original Nexus-based approach. As recently as 2021, research on the localized impact of energy transitions remained largely sector-specific and narrow in scope. ENERGON’s success lay in overcoming this compartmentalization by integrating the social, technical, and environmental dimensions specific to each socio-ecosystem through the “Society-Technology-Environment” nexus approach, which made it possible to assess the impact of specific energy choices on these three components; with each of the OHMs involved serving as a real-world laboratory to test this approach while taking into account the specific characteristics of its socio-ecosystem" (C. Pardo, LabEx DRIIHM, November 2025).
Over these two days, ENERGON thus demonstrated its ability to attract and mobilize, through its original approach, a broader interdisciplinary community that strengthens the DRIIHM and OHM communities. While this seminar marks the conclusion of a project, it most certainly signals the beginning of new and fruitful collaborations.

"La médaille de cristal distingue des femmes et des hommes, personnels d’appui à la recherche, qui par leur créativité, leur maîtrise technique et leur sens de l’innovation, contribuent aux côtés des chercheurs et des chercheuses à l’avancée des savoirs et à l’excellence de la recherche française."
Ingénieure d’études en géomatique, correspondante formation et référente en science ouverte au laboratoire Géographie de l'environnement (GEODE – CNRS/Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès) à Toulouse, Emilie Lerigoleur Balsemin a piloté, durant cinq ans, un projet ANR visant à promouvoir et accompagner les pratiques de science ouverte au sein de notre LabEx. Ce projet, nommé SO-DRIIHM, a concerné plus d’un millier de scientifiques et acteurs territoriaux issus de 13 observatoires, avec l’ambition commune d’améliorer la "FAIRisation" de leurs données, tout en favorisant leur diffusion auprès de la communauté scientifique et du grand public. Depuis 2022, Emilie Lerigoleur Balsemin met son sens du collectif au service du Comité pour la Science Ouverte (CoSO), pour lequel elle anime un groupe de travail contribuant à la rédaction de guides et autres livrables utiles à l’ensemble de la communauté scientifique.

Le groupe DataDRIIHM, le LabEx, et l'ensemble des chercheurs qu'elle accompagne, se joignent pleinement à cette reconnaissance que lui accorde le CNRS.
Le prochain séminaire de notre LabEx aura lieu à Brest, sur le campus de Plouzané, du 10 au 12 juin 2025. Il est organisé par l'OHM Littoral Caraïbe. Outre les sessions habituelles des actualités OHM / DRIIHM et des Posters, deux sessions thématiques seront présentées :
La matinée du 12 juin est réservée a une visite de terrain.
Vous trouverez toutes les informations pratiques ainsi que le formulaire d'inscription sur le site dédié : https://driihm2025.sciencesconf.org
Ne tardez pas ! L'inscription est libre, ouverte à tous mais obligatoire avant le 20 mai.
