    Conflict over the institute's academic and populist direction

    A serious internal crisis developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s between a populist current linked to Ives Roqueta and a more academic current linked to Robert Lafont. Lafont and his supporters were removed from the institute, and the dispute weakened its scientific work while contributing to the migration of researchers into universities and other Occitan organizations.
