March 7, 2025. Economic knowledge and growth. The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” welcomes Vicky Kluzik (Goethe University Frankfurt) and Arnaud Orain(Centre de recherches historiques – CRH-UMR CNRS 8558, EHESS). Has economic science always naturalized the goal of growth as economic policy? In this session, our guests will focus on the history of economics to show how alternative economic thinkers and knowledge have been concerned at different times with the biophysical limits of our planet, against the idea of the possibility of infinite abstract growth. We will collectively discuss the extent to which this knowledge aligned with other conceptions of economic expertise and its relationship to democracy, as well as the reasons why it has been forgotten or excluded from the mainstream economic discipline.
Antoine Hardy’s postdoctoral research aims to understand how the consideration of the environmental impact of computer science research contributes to the redefinition of the field. He is thereby extending his Ph.D. research on the “greening” of scientific practices. This research project, funded by lnria, is co-supervised by Clément Marquet (Mines-PSL) and Sophie Quinton (Inria Grenoble).
Title of the thesis: Intermediaries in private housing energy renovation. Under the supervision of Thomas Reverdy (PACTE, Grenoble-INP) and Alexandre Mallard (CSI, Mines Paris – PSL). The thesis examines how an ecosystem of public and private actors emerges and organises…

February 7, 2025. Lands, mines, futures. The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” welcomes Tobias Olofsson (Lund University) and Gisa Weszkalnys (LSE). In this session we will explore the anticipation techniques used by a variety of actors (industry and government in particular) to create desirable futures for the development of new mines around the world (in Europe and Africa). This session is organised in partnership with the members of the ANTICIP du PEPR sous-sol bien commun project.
