Mediterranean and Orient Research Centre - Jean Pouilloux
Axe(s) of research
The Mediterranean and Orient Research Centre Jean Pouilloux (MOM), the research federation CNRS - University Lumière Lyon 2, is a member of the national Humanities Centre (MHS) network. It was founded in 1975 by Jean Pouilloux, one of the professors at the University.
The MOM unites and houses research units which concentrate mainly on the study of civilisations in the Mediterranean, the Near and Middle East, of both antiquity and the modern age.
Already involved in programmes concerning the West, the MOM indicated, in 2003, its willingness to open itself up to units engaged in the study of western Mediterranean and mainland archaeology.
The organisation instigates unifying scientific programmes (with common research subjects) and encourages the creation of new target areas in support of young researchers' projects, and manages sites which allow constitutional units to try out new research tools in practice.
To its members, the organisation offers eight common facilities: the library, the cartography department, images, publications, secure network system, external relations and their communication systems, general secretarial support, internet and database access..
MOM's competences were acknowledged by the creation of five technological platforms under CNRS which were put at the disposal of the scientific community: image and text based databanks, geomatic facilities (information on space and archaeology), document network gateways (Frantiq and First Christian Millennium); digital documents, dating 14C.

Publications
MOM has its own publishing facilities. It has published two MOM publications: TMO (MO Works, 38 issues published) mainly joint works, occasionally author's works in areas requiring extensive graphic equipment, and CMO (MO Collections, 31 issues published) dedicated mostly to text publications (history, literature, philosophy, religion, etc.). One to three works are published per year in each collection.
Another two collections are published jointly. The first; Orient-Méditerranée, which is published with Maisonneuve and Larose, Paris, covers the Muslim East, history and modern world (4 issues published since 2001). The other, BAR International/MOM, which is published jointly with Archaeopress, Cambridge UK, deals with prehistory, geography and ethno-archaeology in the Mediterranean and the Middle East (12 issues published).
