The caENTI requires the following research teams, which subjects of interests fit the project objectives:

  • The laboratory of Geography “Théoriser et Modéliser pour Aménager” ThéMA (theorize and model to develop territories), UMR CNRS 6049 (http://thema.univ-fcomte.fr), leads diversified researches in the Territorial Intelligence field. Concerning the latter, its main research areas are linked to the organization and the integration of the environmental dimension in the space management , the landscape and the living environment, the territorial and spatial strategies, the spatial continuances discontinuities, the recognition of structures and spatial dynamics, the city, mobility, networks and streams, employment and formation, structuralization and use of spatial-time bases and graphic and cartographic representation of knowledge.

    The pole Territorial intelligence of ThéMA develops and diffuses the concept of Territorial intelligence, its principles and its tools. It offers a scientific and technological environment to the actors of sustainable development, as the concept of Territorial Intelligence reinforces the coherence of the latter. It offers an original territorial observation method, Catalyse, which tools of needs diagnosis and actions evaluation were used by development partnerships, in different European regions and on diversified thematics about social inclusion, socio-cultural integration and territorial development. It also leads research activities on the community territorial intelligence systems.

  • The Laboratory of “Chrono-écologie” (chrono-ecology), UMR CNRS 6565 (http://chrono-eco.univ-fcomte.fr/), leads researches on the long-term evolution of the ecosystems,through a multi-field study of the interface “natural environment/sedentary societies”.
  • The “Institut des Sciences et Technologies de l’Information” (ISTI -institute of information sciences and technologies) supports research-actions associating researchers, on the one hand of engineering sciences, and on the -other hand of human and social sciences, to ensure technology transfers to socio-economic partners and companies.
  • The Laboratory of “SémioLinguistique, Didactique et Informatique” (LASELDI - semiolinguistic, didactic and data processing) (http://laseldi.univ-fcomte.fr) leads researches on the construction and treatment of text corpuses, and also, on the on discursive data analysis with socioeconomic actors.
  • The Laboratory of “Recherches Philosophiques sur les logiques de l'agir” (philosophical research about action logics) (http://slhs.univ-fcomte.fr/rech/philolab) studies and criticizes the conditions, both theoretical and practical, of a rational control of collective action and the obstacles to be overcome.
  • The French-Swiss scientific review “ethnographiques.org” publishes reflexive works on the practices used in anthropology, sociology, geography, etc. The appeal to an editorial committee guarantees the scientific quality of the publications, while ethnographiques.org and its authors innovate publishing on line audio and video documents and illustrative or commented fixed images.
