Monday, November 17, 2025, at the Institut de France, Sandrine Grenier, Associate Professor of Private Law and researcher at LICeM, and Sandy Blanco, Professor of Film and Audiovisual Studies at the IUT of Béziers, received the 2025 Innovation Award, which was unanimously awarded to them by the Ius & Politia Foundation, a foundation for education and research in law and political science, housed within theAcadémie des Sciences Morales et Politiques.

Each year, the Academy recognizes the best works or those that bring recognition to the most meritorious initiatives. It does so in the spirit of the Convention members when they founded the Institut de France: “To follow […] scientific and literary works aimed at the general good and the glory of the Republic” (Law of 3 Brumaire, Year IV).

This innovation award recognizes “a remarkable educational or institutional initiative” as part of their project“Learning Differently: Law and Cinema,” which offers a new and engaging approach to teaching law through the production of short and medium-length films that harness the power of cinematic imagery.

“Learning Differently: Law and Cinema”is led by Sandrine Grenier, Associate Professor of Private Law at the IUT de Béziers, Department of Marketing Techniques, and a member of LICeM, and Sandy Blanco, Professor of Film and Audiovisual Studies at the IUT de Béziers

LICEM congratulates them on this award, which joins the Innovation Award awarded bythe University of Montpellier in 2025.
