The ExposUM Institute is an initiative by the University of Montpellier and its partners to establish an out-of-building, decompartmentalized benchmark institute for the study, training and science-society interaction of the environmental determinants of human health. Winner of the ExcellenceS call for projects (PIA4) and supported by the Occitanie Region, ExposUM is funded to the tune of 46.4 M€ over the period 2022-2030. The exposome corresponds to all lifelong exposures to environmental and social factors whose own effects, combined with the intrinsic characteristics of individuals, underpin health and the onset, evolution and severity of infectious or non-communicable human diseases. In this sense, it is the environmental counterpart of the genome, with which it interacts throughout an individual's life.

Advancing regional research to better preserve biodiversity, better combat vector-borne diseases, imagine the viticulture and oenology of tomorrow, or meet the collective challenges of the great water cycle... These are just some of the scientific challenges to which the University of Montpellier and its regional partners intend to respond by taking on 4 of the 15 "key challenges" identified and supported by the Occitanie Region. The "key challenges" are initiatives launched by the Occitanie Region to support the collective dynamics of research players in Occitanie. Around strategic issues for our territory, they aim to encourage the structuring of scientific communities and thus make regional research even more collaborative, visible and attractive, and to produce research of excellence in line with the Region's political priorities, in particular the Transformation Plan-Green New Deal adopted at the Plenary Assembly on November 19, 2020. Each key challenge receives regional support of €2m to implement their action plan over a 4-year period. Among the 15 challenges supported by the Region, the University of Montpellier is leading the "key challenges" on the themes of biodiversity, water, infectious risks and vines and wine, in collaboration with numerous partners throughout the region. BIODIVOC Key Challenge Officially launched on April 1, 2021, the aim of the Biodivoc project is to develop fundamental research in ecology and evolution around the theme of "Dynamics, resilience and management of biodiversity and ecosystems subject to human-induced environmental pressures". Website Biodivoc RIVOC Key Challenge Officially launched on March 18, 2021, the aim of the RIVOC "Risques Infectieux et Vecteurs" project is to develop innovative and sustainable approaches to improve the understanding, surveillance and control of these diseases and their vectors. Rivoc website VINIDOCC Challenge The "Innovation for the viticulture and oenology of the future in Occitania" project was launched on September 16, 2022 to conduct multidisciplinary, fundamental and applied research, and imagine new practices for the viticulture and oenology of tomorrow. Find out more Défi BIO'OCC Bio'Occ is a project funded by the French government as part of the France 2030 plan. This ambitious regional initiative aims to attract, train and retain the talents and players of tomorrow by developing specialized training in the field of Biotherapies and Bioproduction. More info "Water Occitanie" key challenge: The Water Occitanie project aims to develop know-how on wastewater reuse, design and analyze infrastructures, equipment and governance to meet the constraints of local players, produce an assessment of the consequences on the scale of large watersheds and analyze the cumulative capacity to meet the collective challenges of the large water cycle.
