Valorisation has been an official mission of CNRS since 1982. Although research practices at the interface with the socio-economic world are nothing new, they have been facilitated since the 1990’s by a proliferation of new public policy instruments. To help them navigate this complex ecosystem, in 2017 the heads of the valorisation departments of the CNRS Institutes asked for reflective feedback on their activities, through a doctoral research. Victoria Brun began this investigation in October 2019, drawing on her expertise in sociology of science and mixed methods acquired during her postgraduate studies. This article presents several of the methodological issues of the inquiry she conducted.

In the wake of the USSR’s collapse, the Russian Internet initially developed freely, leaving the initiative to numerous actors who invented digital tools tailored to suit their uses. However, since the early 2010s, the authoritarian turnaround at the top echelons of the Russian state has led to the deployment of a network of rights of way and constraints that have tightened on both actors and the country’s digital infrastructures.

Monday June 5, 2023. ” Doing ‘with’ to repair the world? The challenges of repair cultures”, study day of the “Living in Transition” workshop coordinated by Laurence Allard, Clément Marquet and Jérôme Boissonade. Making things last or repairing them are not “hypergoods” in themselves. After a period marked by “sustainable development”, how can we question both the possibilities and the limits of maintenance and repair brought about by ecological transition policies?
