European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Business, regulation and health and environmental dangers
L’objectif de ce séminaire est de réunir et faire dialoguer ces deux réflexions autour de travaux qui se situent à l’intersection de la sociologie économique, de la sociologie de l’action publique et des science studies. Le projet du séminaire est d’examiner la thématique de la régulation des risques sanitaires et environnementaux en centrant le regard sur le rôle joué par les entreprises, qu’il s’agisse d’actions de lobbying dans les espaces de normalisation, de modélisation des risques, de planification de la vigilance, ou encore de gestion des catastrophes.
