Seminar "Opening research in areal studies: actors, data and mediation".

In a context where opening up knowledge is becoming a central issue, this seminar proposes to explore new forms of producing, disseminating and sharing research. How can we make science more accessible, participatory and collaborative? What tools and practices make it possible to involve a variety of players - researchers, citizens, institutions - in the construction of knowledge?

Through four sessions, we will address key themes such as citizen science, open science data management, new collaborative platforms, and alternative modes of scientific mediation. Each session will bring together experts and practitioners engaged in these open dynamics.
