    Geomatics and aiding refugees

    Le master Géomatique organise une journée d'étude « La géomatique au service des réfugiés » le mardi 8 mars 2016 à l'université de Cergy-Pontoise en articulant des interventions d'ONG, d'universitaires, de professionnels et d'enseignants-chercheurs. Cette journée est notamment destinée à discuter des besoins et usages des ONG en cartographie, les usages et besoins des réfugiés en applications cartographiques et de navigation, mais aussi des façon d'éviter que ces outils puissent être détournés en instruments de surveillance, voire d'aggression, des plus vulnérables.

    Contemporary crisis and changes

    Geoeconomical and geopolitical approaches

    For several years, the world seems to have entered a period of high instability. Economically, the "subprime mortgage crisis" appeared in 2007 in the USA, then spread planet wide in all areas of activity. In 2015, economic difficulties persist (growth stagnation in developed countries and lower growth in emerging markets, explosion of unemployment, deindustrialisation and offshoring, market tensions in China, the euro zone, etc.). In geopolitical terms, tension spots have also multiplied (Saharian and Sahelian Africa, Middle East, Far East and Eastern Europe) leading to strong migratory waves while power poles seem to be redeploying between the USA, China and other regional powers.The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.
