A seminar on the use of artificial intelligence in the assessment of environmental law was held at the Semlalia Faculty of Science in Marrakech on 24 and 25 April.
The seminar provided an opportunity for some very interesting discussions based on presentations on the various artificial intelligence methods that could be used to analyse environmental law. The Nawras project team then presented its initial results and developed the analysis method used.
By bringing together AI researchers, legal researchers and ecology researchers from different universities in Morocco, France and Germany, this seminar enabled fruitful interdisciplinary exchanges and paved the way for future collaborations.

During Research Week in March, the 2025 Valorisation Awards ceremony organised by UBO and ENIB took place. On this occasion, our colleague Valérie Stiger-Pouvreau was given the Transition Award.
This distinction, accompanied by a €1,000 prize for LEMAR, recognises her work in the chemical ecology of marine plants, particularly in the context of the SAVE-C, RIV-ALG and RIV-AGE 2.0 projects. In collaboration with the University of Nantes and the companies Tech Nature and Novéal (a subsidiary of L’Oréal), Valérie filed a patent in 2019 for photoprotective extracts for sun protection, which was subsequently accepted in 2022.
Congratulations Valérie!

Biodiversity is facing a major environmental crisis. It is therefore urgent to identify the impact of environmental constraints on the ecological and physiological functioning of animal species, but also the adaptations implemented by these organisms to respond to environmental changes.
Animal ecophysiology is a crucial discipline at this level, integrating the mechanisms underlying metabolism, energetics, behaviour, reproduction, communication and many other animal functions, from the gene to the population.
In France, every two years, a large community of ecophysiologists, bringing together researchers from various backgrounds, organises the Animal Ecophysiology Symposium, CEPA. This symposium provides an opportunity to communicate new results from basic and applied research in the field to a community that is both scientific and professional. This large community encourages the sharing of knowledge and scientific advances while strengthening the spirit of cohesion in research.
After Lyon (2013), La Rochelle (2015), Strasbourg (2017), Rennes (2019), Montpellier (2021) and Tours (2023), this conference will take place for the first time at the other end of the world, in Brest. It will enable as many researchers and students as possible to present their latest results and reflections.
This 7th edition will take place from 28 to 30 October 2025, in the amphitheatre of the Pôle numérique Brest Iroise in Plouzané.
Key dates to come :
Deadline for abstract submission: before 15 June 2025
Early bird registration deadline: 15 August 2025
Late bird registration deadline: 15 September 2025
The International and Interdisciplinary Seminar ‘AI and Marine Science’ was held on 26, 27 and 28 November 2024 at Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech.
This seminar is part of the Nawras Project, which aims to assess the legal protection of the marine environment using Artificial Intelligence. Co-organised by Cadi Ayyad University and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, it brought together researchers in marine science, law and artificial intelligence working on cross-disciplinary subjects.
The seminar provided an opportunity to meet and discuss common issues using a variety of innovative approaches, thereby stimulating interdisciplinarity and collaboration between young researchers. The presentations combined global themes, ethical issues and specific applications. Thesis topics presented as posters were also displayed during the seminar.
The young researchers will promote the work of this interdisciplinary and intercultural seminar with a conference for the general public to be held on Thursday 5 December 2024 at Cadi Ayyad University to present the variety of ocean protection issues and emerging prospects.
