  The Becoming of Congo: Epistemologies, Practices, and Imaginaries

  V International Congo Research Network Congress (15-16 September 2020)

  The conference aims to bring together junior and senior scholars across the humanities and social sciences, sharing a common interest in the DRC. It specifically aims to provide space for transdisciplinary and comparative analyses and reflections, within and beyond Congolese Studies. This edition of the Congo Research network (CRN) focuses on the concept of “becoming”: the becoming of research on/around the Congo (new paths and new relations between "knowledges/epistemologies" and agents—academics, artists, writers, cultural operators, journalists and bloggers, activists and others); the becoming of Congolese culture (new places of creation and exhibition, new ways of sharing/transmitting knowledge and cultural practices); the becoming of land and questions of mobility, not only in the Congo, but also in Africa and the world (climate change and social justice).

  Transitions in the history of energy: the current state of research and new perspectives

  La transition est aujourd’hui un paradigme dominant dans l’énoncé des politiques publiques et des stratégies privées liées à l’énergie. Acteurs publics, entreprises, associations, mais aussi chercheurs s'inscrivent chaque jour davantage dans l'horizon d'une transition énergétique à mener et à penser comme une transformation graduelle des moyens de production et des usages. Dans ce contexte, les historiens sont interpelés sur la question des transitions énergétiques passées : y a-t-il eu des transitions énergétiques dans le passé, et si oui que nous apprennent-elles qui pourrait être utile au présent ?

  Public management in times of political changeovers and volatile public opinions

  The Seminar is an area of francophone scientific debate within the annual congress of the major European academic society of public management and administration (European Group for Public Administration EGPA-GEAP). It questions this year the impact on francophone public management of the unexpected events and radical ideas that gather impetus in our societies. What changes can these accelerated trigger? What should we learn for citizens' trust, good governance, and public service delivery? How will public administrations and their managers react? How will this affect their relationship with public service users? Overall, what new issues and solutions confront the francophone and the Napoleonic models of public management? Should we review our research data and models, look for new inflexion points and reinterpretations?

  Utilisation and non-utilisation of public sector performance information. In search of real evidence

  EGPA Study Group on productivity and quality in the public sector

  Public administrations have been measuring performance for quite some time now. But is this information actually used, or is performance measurement mainly a ritualistic exercise detached from organisational reality and policy-making. This year’s call focuses on the utilisation of performance information: Who is (not) using performance measurement information, where, when, why and how?
