Hormur, a company leveraging LIRIS research and expertise in the media

In recent days, Hormur has been featured on France-Inter, Le Monde, TF1 and France Télévision. The platform enables artists and hosts to find each other and discuss to co-create artistic events in unusual locations. It also makes it extremely easy for the public to register to these events. Hormur benefited from a transfer of technology and the expertise from the SICAL team.

Launched in the summer of 2023, Hormur builds upon on an event management system for cultural events derived from work carried out by the SICAL team. The Hormur team has also benefited from SICAL's expertise in designing simple user journey involving numerous users and points of contact. This work, which was initially carried out as part of the European PLACED project, benefited from CNRS pre-maturation support, followed by an incubation with Pulsalys. Alix Ducros, a former doctoral student at LIRIS, has accompanied Hormur from its inception to the present day.

The platform holds strong fair and responsible values, offering cultural events close people. It insures hosts against unforeseen events, and supports artists by facilitating administrative work and supporting their author rights.
