The HAIS (Human Adaptibility In-Situ) Project consists of measuring the physiological adaptation capacities of humans while immersed in different extreme environments for general public, sporting, scientific, biotechnological and medical applications and benefits. This project proposes two in-situ protocols in which physiological and chronobiological parameters will be studied in two different conditions, the first to assess the impact of climate and ultra-endurance and the second to assess the impact of ultra-endurance on human performance:1. The 4x30 Day Adaptation Project2. the Ultra Trail Sciences Project Clécy – Suisse Normande (UTSPC). Changes and Adaptations are the key words of the current century. Whether we like it or not, whether we accept it or not, our worlds are evolving; our lives undergo changes; our environments are transforming. Humans must change their way of living to ensure a future on our planet, by reducing their pollution, of course, but also by adapting more than ever to their environment, forcing them to surpass themselves. But are we capable of it? What are our resources? How can we develop new skills to react better and faster? To build tomorrow, we must understand today's humans in their environment. The HAIS Project is an original project, never before carried out and aims to study the physiological adaptation capacities of Humans in extreme real situations, a formidable accelerator of Adaptation capacities. This file presents two innovative, original and unique scientific projects in the world. He initiates collaborations between the main teams (UMR INSERM University of Caen COMETE U1075 and the Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Laboratory (LNC2) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris (UMRS INSERM-ENS U960) for the Adaptation 4x30 Jours project which received ANR DGA ASTRID 2019 funding, and stimulates collaboration between members of the COMETE U1075 team and other national and international research teams for the UTSPC project While the Adaptation project led by the famous explorer Christian CLOT, vice-president of the Société Française des Explorateurs, a recognized public utility organization, will go on an expedition with 20 people to the 4 most extreme environments on the planet from September 2020, the UTSPC project will consist of organizing the world's first ultra-endurance race. 160 km dedicated to scientific research in Clécy in Suisse-Normande. These unique projects will promote the University of Caen and the Normandy Region through all the scientific publications and the organization of an international congress on Ultra Endurance Practices (Trail, Sailing), through the extremely significant media coverage of these expeditions, through the strong socio-economic benefits particularly in Suisse-Normande where Clécy will become an open-air laboratory, through the publication of a scientific and educational work on the Ultra Trail and through the involvement of regional companies developing biomedical devices. Finally, this file will present all the funding requests which will allow the implementation of the studies but also the financing of doctoral students.
