The Laboratory of Anthropology of Contemporary Issues (LADEC in French) was created on January 1, 2017. It doesn't yet have the status of a Mixed Research Unit (UMR) but a Research Training Unit (known as an FRE in French) as well as seven other research structures created by the CNRS on the same date. Indeed, all ex-nihilo creations must go through this intermediate stage. An evaluation will take place in 2 years to determine the transition to a Mixed Research Unit (UMR).
The LADEC includes within the ENS de Lyon: Emilia Sanabria, Frédéric Le Marcis, Hélène Colineau and PhD students, who all previously depended on the Triangle laboratory.
