Summer School - Science studies
Understanding and stimulating social sciences and humanities impact and engagement with society
Training school
This training school provides participants with insights into the theories and practices of stimulating impact creation from social sciences and humanities research. It will focuses on three specific dimensions. Firstly, creating a conceptual understanding on the specificities of social sciences and humanities (SSH) impact and non-linear impact models. Secondly, alternative appropriate policy frameworks for maximising SSH impact. Finally, we will explore ways of supporting scholarly practices to optimise the creation of impact through SSH research, and capturing this with evaluation systems.

Corporate authority in the shaping of public policy
The power of corporate business has been a subject of intense debate and many social science studies since the 19th century. This conference is based on the idea that, not only has this power varied among industries, countries and different periods, but also that the way in which it is wielded has evolved over time. By bringing together scholars from various backgrounds within the fields of history, sociology, and political science, we intend to provide new insights on the multiplicity, depth and limits of the forms of influence that corporations, or the organizations furthering their interests – business associations, think tanks, communication or public relations agencies, foundations, etc. –, have on public policy.

The politics of modeling and computing for policy
The aims is to putting in discussion the modes and effects of the use of computational tools in government and public policies. Computation, be it based on statistical modeling or newest techniques of predictive analytics, holds the promise to be able to anticipate and act infallibly on futures and uncertain situations more generally. That the future is an object of governmental knowledge and action is nothing new though. So, what is the characteristic of today’s relationship with futures in policy making and action? To what extent do the means of computation – from statistical models to learning algorithms employed in predictive analytics — change this relationship, and the collective capacity and legitimacy to engage with future, uncertain situations? Do technologies of prediction change policies and their politics and, if so, how?

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.

Challenges and the issues surrounding human resources
La recherche partenariale est avant tout affaire de personnes. Sa réussite dépend fortement de la qualité des relations interpersonnelles et de l’adéquation entre les compétences et les tâches. Mais concrètement, comment les femmes et les hommes investis personnellement dans la mise en œuvre d'un partenariat contribuent-ils à sa réussite ? Comment agir ensemble ? Pourquoi et comment augmenter les échanges et recrutements de personnes entre recherche publique et entreprises ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l’« Association nationale recherche technologie » (ANRT-FutuRIS), le CGEIET et l’IGAENR organisent un colloque sur le thème des ressources humaines dans la valorisation de la recherche.

Health, social inequalities and power relations
Depuis une dizaine d’années, la montée en puissance du thème des inégalités sociales et territoriales de santé est repérable à la fois dans l’action publique et dans la recherche en sciences sociales. Paradoxalement, alors même qu’on observe un (relatif) « retour des classes sociales » dans les sciences éponymes, les inégalités de santé sont rarement réfléchies en termes de rapports de domination – et a fortiori dans le croisement avec d’autres rapports de domination, notamment de race, de sexe ou de génération. Ce séminaire entend croiser une sociologie des politiques de santé, du travail médico-social et des classes sociales pour analyser les logiques de (re)production des inégalités et des discriminations en matière de santé.
