Toulouse – Jean Jaurès University (UT2J) is committed not only to advancing science but also to making it visible, accessible, and tangible. Through its new collection "Research, No Clichés," UT2J lifts the veil on the behind-the-scenes of innovation by giving a voice to laboratories, researchers, and projects shaping our daily lives. Each initiative and discovery is told with pedagogical clarity, demonstrating how research addresses societal, environmental, and technological challenges.
This selection highlights several joint projects with IRIT (Toulouse Computer Science Research Institute). Among them is the study of extra-functional properties such as fairness, responsibility, transparency, and security, aimed at optimizing collaboration within development and operations teams in the lifecycle of software developed using an MLOps approach (project FATES-MLOps).
The ECONECT project contributes to the development of autonomous environmental sentinel systems capable of measuring pollution in water, air, or soil and its consequences on bio-indicator organisms.
An experimental platform developed by researchers at IRIT, located at the IUT of Blagnac, is dedicated to the precise localization of connected objects, providing an ideal environment for observing emitted signals (project LocURa4IoT).
The TACTILIVRE project focuses on children aged 2 to 6 with visual impairments and/or intellectual development disorders, exploring the tactile book as a tool for early communication and intervention to design adapted and accessible tactile books.
Finally, the OBARDI project aims to enhance the understanding of power dynamics underlying the construction of the modern French state, by analyzing state categories that may have been foreign to subjects three centuries ago.
This approach combines scientific rigor, interdisciplinarity, and openness to society, fostering inspiring science.
