Research Administration

• Emmanuel Prados and Guillaume Mandil are members of the Grenoble section of the Labos 1.5 initiative: an international, cross-disciplinary collective of academic researchers who share a common goal: to better understand and reduce the environmental impact of research, especially on the Earth’s climate, https://labos1point5.org/en/home/

• Emmanuel Prados is member of the working group on sustainable development of the LJK lab, whose goal is to define and environmental charter and an environmental scientific policy for the lab.

• Peter Sturm is Deputy Scientific Director of Inria, in charge of the domain Perception–Cognition–Interaction.

• Peter Sturm co-founded and co-animated (with Céline Serrano) a national working group at Inria whose goal was to provide suggestions for the institute concerning environmental issues, in particular: (i) research to address the increasing environmental challenges (including directions of research and administrative aspects), (ii) how to reduce the ecological impact of the institute, and, more generally, (iii) ways of fostering responsible science (“sciences impliquées”). The working group produced a report [9] and several of its recommendations have already been taken up by Inria.

• Peter Sturm is member (representative of personnel) of the CLHSCT of Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes (Local Committee for Hygiene, Security and Working Conditions).
