What Laboratoire Motricité, Interactions, Performance does

Laboratoire Motricité, Interactions, Performance (MIP, UR 4334) is a French public research laboratory conducting multidisciplinary scientific research on the optimization of human movement. The laboratory operates as a joint research unit between Nantes Université (UFR STAPS) and Le Mans Université (Département STAPS), with 23 staff working across two physical sites in Nantes and Le Mans, France. Its research program spans physiology, biomechanics, and psychology, organized around three research themes, and has produced more than 100 peer-reviewed publications from 2022 to the present, covering sport sciences, biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and clinical research.

The laboratory's primary outputs are scientific knowledge and trained researchers (PhD and HDR candidates), disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, the HAL open-access repository, and a dedicated Brevets / Logiciels (patents and software) track. It also operates Plateforme PEPSE, an enterprise-facing platform that connects the laboratory with private companies for research collaboration, internships, and applied research projects in sports performance and rehabilitation. Primary stakeholders include the academic research community, doctoral students, healthcare professionals, and sports organizations seeking performance optimization and translational research applications.

As a Unité de Recherche recognized as Equipe d'accueil by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, MIP is funded through public research grants and institutional support from the Ministry and its two partner universities. It does not operate a commercial revenue model, does not charge for its research outputs, and has no external investors. Visibility is generated institutionally through LinkedIn, Facebook, the mip.univ-nantes.fr website, peer-reviewed publication channels, and the HAL repository.
