May 16, 2025. Critical zone. The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” welcomes Sébastien Dutreuil (CNRS, Centre Gilles Gaston Granger) and Jérôme Gaillardet (Institut de Physique du Globe). Drawing on the notion of the critical zone, which originated in the environmental sciences and has been revisited by Bruno Latour in his latest work, this session will explore transformations in the relationship between science, society and politics, as well as in the role of critique and STS, brought about by the rise and structuring of the sciences of habitability and their infrastructures. The session is organized in liaison with the FORET project supported by the CNRS MITI.
The CSI Guests Seminar welcomes Nelo Magalhaes to discuss his book Accumuler du béton, tracer des routes Une histoire environnementale des grandes infrastructures Introduction to the discussion Guilhaum Panas and Guillaume Louvet Quatrième de couverture : Dans les décennies d’après-guerre, des…
21 mai 2025. La formation doctorale est au cœur de l’Institut interdisciplinaire de l’innovation – i3. Les thèses engagées dans i3 renouvellent l’analyse et l’accompagnement de l’innovation technique et sociale.
L’organisation de journées doctorales vise à faire connaître les travaux de thèse en cours au sein d’i 3, à engager un échange pluridisciplinaire autour de thématiques communes aux équipes d’i 3 et à faire un retour aux doctorants pour les aider dans leur parcours.
June 13, 2025. This event addresses researchers and practitioners exploring promises, practices and tensions between digital technologies and ecology. It will provide an opportunity to present work from two recently published special issues – Écologiser par le numérique? (Réseaux no. 144) and Matérialités environnementales du numérique (Reset no. 15). The morning session will open with a lecture given by Laurence Allard (MCF, Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle), and the afternoon session will close with a roundtable discussing multidisciplinary perspectives.
April 30, 2025. The seminar “Digital Environmental Policies” will welcome Laura Kocksch (The Techno-Anthroplogy Lab at Aalborg University Copenhagen), who will talk about “Fragile computing: Directions for developing post-optimistic technologies”.
April 11,2025. Seminar ‘Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about’. For this second session entitled ‘Maintaining in common: co-ownership beyond the infraordinary’, we propose to investigate together the field of housing maintenance by focusing on co-ownership and its actors.
April 4, 2025. Shifting soil. The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” welcomes Anastasyia Halauniova (Sciences Po, CSO) and Laure Manach (CAK). This session will consider soils as the shifting support of human activities, and as currently alterned by global warming. From the thawing of permafrost to the fate of carbon stored in soils, how are the transformations of soils retraced and anticipated? How are they taken up in both territorial and atmospheric politics?
March 28, 2025. The architectural agency SCAU and Jérôme Denis organize a new seminar entitled “Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance, what we care about”. For this first session of the seminar, “Material fragility and maintenance under constraints: building to the test of reality”, the SCAU will have a look back at some of its projects.
March 20, 2025. The seminar “Digital Environmental Policies” welcomes Marie Garin, who will talk about he mathematics thesis she completed at the Borelli Center (UMR 9010) and defended in 2024, “De l’apprentissage fédéré vers une théorie critique de l’apprentissage hétéromatique” (From federated learning to a critical theory of heteromatic learning), and the bridges she built with the social sciences in the course of this work.
