Leadership within the Scientific Community

Alexandre Monnin organizes a seminar with Lise Arena (UNS, GREDEG) and Bernard Conein (UNS, GREDEG), between Inria and MSHS, entitled "Digital artifacts and materialities". International researchers such as Jérôme Denis (http://mshs.unice.fr/?p=6799) (Mines ParisTech), Paul Smart (Southampton) (http://mshs.unice.fr/?p=6725), Michael Wheeler (Stirling), David Kirsh (San Diego) (http://mshs.unice.fr/?p=6908), Yuk Hui (Lüneburg) (http://mshs.unice.fr/?p=7644) and Brian Cantwell Smith (Toronto) participated in the seminar this year.

Alexandre Monnin and Manuel Boutet (UNS, GREDEG) organize the "ateliers de lecture transdisciplinaires" of UCA, hosted by SophiaTech learning centre and later redubbed "Regards croisés" (5 sessions took place, all organized by Alexandre Monnin, with Lise Arena and Fabien Gandon, Alexandre Monnin et Bernard Conein, Ali Douai et Gabriel Plassat, Nathalie Oriol and François Bremond, Alain Giboin and Agnès Festré). The regards croisés have been chosen to be recorded and archived on a future UCA portal and YouTube channel.

Alexandre Monnin participated to the invitation of Brian Cantwell Smith to a Morgenstern colloquium at Inria Sophia Antipolis, December 8th. Alexandre Monnin is extending Brian Cantwell Smith's stay for the Morgenstern Colloquium thanks to fundings provided by the MSHS. Two workshops will be organized around him on Dec. 12th and 13th at the MSHS in Nice in addition to the PhiloWeb day on the 14th.

Alexandre Monnin organized a PhiloWeb conference with B.C. Smith and Harry Halpin,

Alexandre Monnin participated in two events as part of the Transition2 initiative set up by Inria and FING. In January, he created the W3C Community Group "Web We Can Afford" whose goal is to discuss the future of the Web at the time of the Anthropocene (https://www.w3.org/community/wwca/).

”Les lundis de l’ergonomie” is a new cycle of seminars on Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and UX Design. Organized by Emilie Palagi and Louise Chaussade, this multidisciplinary series of talks may attract academic and professional profiles but also anyone interested in social science’s approach to digital matters. Two presentations took place in October (with Emilie Palagi and Louise Chaussade) and December (Patrice Pena).
