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.

Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom
Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

What if academic research wasn't neutral?
Association francophone pour le savoir (ACFAS) conference 2017
Ce colloque propose de poser à nouveau la question de la neutralité en science (neutralité des artisans, de la démarche, des méthodes, du langage, des résultats, des publications) : est-elle possible ? Souhaitable ? Indispensable ? Est-ce un leurre ? Une fiction ? Un artifice ? Le colloque abordera ces questions dans quatre axes : épistémologique, politique, éthique et sociétal.

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.

The professionalisation of higher education
À partir de rencontres autour de publications récentes et de recherches en cours, ce séminaire se propose d’explorer les différentes facettes de la « professionnalisation » de l’enseignement supérieur telle qu’elle est encouragée par les réformateurs depuis les années 1980 : spécialisation des diplômes en fonction de « besoins en main-d’œuvre » conjoncturels et localisés, création de dispositifs visant à améliorer « l’employabilité » des étudiants et à préparer leur « insertion professionnelle », etc.

The politics and poetics of museology
40th annual ICOFOM symposium
It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

25th Modern Greek Studies Conference of French-speaking universities
The biennial Congress of French-speaking Modern Greek Studies scholars will take place from October 12th to October 14th, 2017 in Aix-en-Provence. Its aim is to bring together researchers from every domain of the humanities and social sciences. The issue at the heart of this 15th Congress is the historical progress of certain areas of study towards the status of full-fledged disciplines of the humanities and social sciences in Greece from the moment of the establishment of the Greek state (1830) and within a context allowing the study of this phenomenon in both its regional and its international dimensions.
The works of the Congress will be organized around the following themes:
1. The emergence, institutionalization, reproduction and diffusion of disciplinary bodies of knowledge.
2. The way each discipline positions itself with relation to other fields of knowledge and implements its theoretical foundations
3. The processes of establishing legitimacy for the new disciplines and for the groups framing them
4. Disciplinarization and the field of Modern Greek Studies
Abstracts must be submitted before February 28th, 2017, in either French or English.

Life, living and biodiversity -
Recherches en didactique des sciences et des technologies journal, issue no.18
Des avancées scientifiques récentes dans les domaines de la biologie et des biotechnologies renouvellent en partie les questions sur les concepts de vie et vivant. De nouveaux défis sont imposés par et pour nos sociétés contemporaines, tels les exigences de santé, le maintien d’une biodiversité, la préservation des ressources naturelles et du climat. Notre regard et nos actions sur notre environnement, sur la vie et le vivant, s’en trouvent modifiés et de nouvelles perspectives apparaissent notamment dans les domaines économiques, sociaux et sociétaux. Cet appel à contribution porte sur ces questions qui peuvent à leur tour se décliner dans deux directions : celle des curriculums et des apprentissages ; celle des croisements entre éducation formelle et informelle.
