Interuniversity Laboratory of Psychology: Personality, Cognition and Social Change (LIP/PC2S)


Located on the Chambery and Grenoble sites, LIP/PC2S organizes its activities around four major themes: Clinical and cognitive processes; Social cognition; Prevention; Risk and adaptation to change.
 


The Psychology and Neurocognition Laboratory (LPNC)


The scientific program of the Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition focuses on the study of human cognitive functioning in the fields of perception and action on the one hand, and memory, language and learning on the other. We have developed several cross-disciplinary axes - modeling, neuropsychology, neuroimaging and cognitive psychiatry - which have guided our work for several years, ensuring the multi-disciplinary approach we need to understand the cognitive functions we study.

Laboratory for Research on Learning in Context (LaRAC, ex-LSE)


The Laboratoire de Recherche sur les Apprentissages en Contexte (LaRAC, EA 602) at Grenoble-Alpes University is a multi-disciplinary research laboratory rooted in the field of educational sciences, with an international outlook. Its aim is to understand the processes and dynamics at work in both academic and professional learning environments. Three contexts are privileged to study the complexity of learning processes: Academic, Organizational and Health.

Le Laboratoire de sciences sociales Pacte

Pacte, a social science laboratory, is a joint research unit of the CNRS,Université Grenoble Alpes and Sciences Po Grenoble - UGA, based mainly on the Grenoble Alpes university site. Its members are committed to building common languages and cross-disciplinary knowledge on the political, territorial, sociological and ecological transformations of our societies. The laboratory places interdisciplinarity at the heart of its practices, through the sharing and confrontation of methods, epistemologies and common ground. Pacte brings together most of the site's geographers, political scientists, sociologists and urban planners, and also welcomes economists and historians.
