Title: The evolution of young low-mass stars : focus on rotation and activity
Abstract: Between its formation stage as an active accreting seed and today, the Sun underwent large structural changes as well as variation in magnetic activity, rotation rate and its relation to the surrounding environment. I will go through the different processes that are responsible for these changes and present our latest results on the subject. We will go from the early interaction between the star and its proto-planetary disc bathing in UV radiations emitted from the massive neighbours, to the internal mixing happening in the inner layers of solar-like stars and probed by asteroseismology. Finally, I will try to review the possible applications of this work to other types of stars at different stages of the evolution in the context of the current or future surveys.

Title: On the importance of chemical data for warm exoplanet atmospheres
Abstract: The very first data from JWST are finally arriving and show us the full potential of this telescope for the characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres. The interpretation of these data relies on atmospheric models, so it is of paramount importance that these models are reliable and robust. In this context I will show you the methodology applied to develop kinetic models adapted to the atmospheres of hot exoplanets, with physico-chemical data at high temperatures. I will also talk about the Hot Jupiter WASP-43b and the insights that JWST can give us into its atmosphere.
