作者Bas
2025年9月2日 21:36

If your research requires the development of advanced research software, and if you think the research community in general would benefit from that software, then this call is for you.

The Netherlands eScience Center supports researchers from all disciplines by creating tailor-made research software: digital tools that contribute to answering research questions by creating and/or analysing research data and research results.

This call for proposals supports research that has an urgent methodological research challenge: a concrete research problem that requires a digital solution in the form of a software tool (code, scripts, packages, libraries, programmes, etc).

On 4 September there is an online information event to inform interested applicants about the eScience Center and the specifics of this call.

The call is now open, and closes on 13 October at 14:00 hours.

Survey: FAIR data principles in RDM & SSH

作者yara
2025年2月21日 18:32

The ‘Untangling FAIR Implementation in the Dutch Social Sciences and Humanities’ project has launched a survey to explore how FAIR data principles align with Research Data Management (RDM) policies and the coordination of FAIR-enabling services in Social Sciences & Humanites (SSH) research. The survey is open to data stewards, curators, RDM coordinators, managers, senior decision-makers, and policy professionals.

Please fill in the 15-minute survey by clicking the button below and spread the word!

Project aim

The ‘Untangling FAIR Implementation in the Dutch Social Sciences and Humanities’ project aims to get to grips with the governance and processes implemented for FAIR data in the SSH-domain at an institutional level, and to map them to the technical facilities available.

In short, the project tries to answer the question ‘who is responsible for making FAIR implementation choices at which level of your organisation, at which point in the research data life cycle, and with which infrastructure at their disposal?’. The project is currently collecting experiences and insights of FAIR implementation in Dutch research and cultural heritage institutions, and universities/faculties.

This project is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) through the Thematic Digital Competence Center for Social Sciences and Humanities (TDCC-SSH). It is a collaboration between ODISSEI, DANS, and Erasmus University Rotterdam. Utrecht University’s Coosje Veldkamp is part of the Advisory Board for this project.

FAIR

FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The FAIR principles are a set of instructions formulated to maximize the use of data and other digital objects such as code and software. Their aim is to facilitate, encourage and guide researchers towards making their data easily findable and accessible, in line with Open Science guidelines. All the while ensuring that the data they make available is easily understood and well documented with the ultimate goal to make scientific data as reusable as possible.

Data School has published a call to action for Impact Projects: support for impact-focused research projects in the humanities with societal partners. Impact Project vouchers are available with a fixed individual value of €8,000.

For the past 10 years, Data School has been at the forefront of researching the impact of AI in society. Working across disciplines and in close collaboration with external partners we conduct research around two main research pillars: Responsible Data Practices & AI and Media Policy and Public Debates. We are committed to producing impactful research that informs policy and practice in public sector and media industries.

As one of the dedicated focus areas of Utrecht University’s Impact Plans, Data School will further advance its transdisciplinary research agenda with the following goals:

  • Involving more academic staff in projects with external partners to ensure quality assurance and scientifically translate results into publications.
  • Expanding and strengthening relationships with the media industry, such as news media and public broadcasters, as well as creative agencies.
  • Improving the visibility of activities and impact both within and outside the University.

Impact Project vouchers

At the Faculty of Humanities, Impact Project vouchers are available to encourage researchers at Utrecht University to collaborate across disciplines and with relevant societal partners in the professional field. Each voucher has a fixed individual value of €8,000.

External partner organizations should contribute with their own funding to match the amount provided by the university. The main goal is to strengthen ties between our research and the needs of practitioners in society.

Research pillars

Utrecht University is dedicated to enhancing the impact of its research through transdisciplinary projects with societal partners. At the forefront of this initiative is the Data School, which drives this agenda through two key pillars for inter- and transdisciplinary research:

  1. Public Debates & Media Policy
    How do media shape public discussions about societal issues (e.g., climate crisis, migration, disinformation, AI)? How can we help media organisations to develop efficient strategies addressing profound social and political challenges (e.g., representation, inclusion, diversity)? What role can emerging technologies play here?
  2. Responsible Data Practices & AI
    How can we promote ethical and responsible data practices in the development and deployment of AI technologies? How can societally responsible organisations ensure data privacy, fairness, transparency, and accountability in data- and AI systems? How can organisations address biases in AI, and develop frameworks for responsible data governance?

Submission

We would like to invite you to send your inter- and transdisciplinary project ideas that could fit within one of these pillars.

The submission deadlines for propasals for Impact Projects are:

  • First submission deadline: 11 October 2024
  • Second submission deadline: 11 March 2025

The research training group “Literature and the Public Sphere in Differentiated Contemporary Cultures” at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg, funded by the German Research Foundation, is offering 11 Doctoral Positions (m/f/d) (65%, E-13 TV-L) for a duration of three years respectively, starting 1 October 2025. Extensions for the doctoral positions (6 months) are possible.

The interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) aims to analyze contemporary literatures since 1945 in different public and cultural contexts. It examines the conditions that enable and influence different literatures in the public sphere, thereby focusing on their cultural specificities, potentials and functions. It uses a broad concept of literature, including the digitalization of society and its consequences, socio-cultural political and economic contexts, (inter-)mediality and media competition, institutional conditions, the literary industry and literary life as objects of enquiry.

The RTG considers literatures from different cultural and language areas, including ‘small literatures’ and minority cultures on different continents. Accordingly, the RTG investigates the interactions between literatures and public spheres in a differentiated manner. Adopting a comparative and transnational perspective, the RTG takes into account digital, praxeological, cultural studies and philological methods and supports research projects from social, media, material, ethical or economic studies.

Applying

If your field of study was Digital Humanities, Book Studies, (Cultural) Sociology, Media/Communication Studies, Romance Studies, Comparative Literature, American Studies, English Studies or German Studies and you have a suitable project idea, please apply by 1 May 2025.

La contribution de la personne engagée portera principalement sur deux axes du projet (sur cinq) qui consistent en :

Une analyse des données et des indicateurs publiés par les médias en Suisse romande pendant la pandémie de Covid19, sur la base de corpus constitués avec les médias partenaires. Les analyses de contenu qualitatives et quantitatives (via des outils de lexicométrie et d’analyse de réseau) permettront d’étudier la manière dont ces données ont été cadrées par les journalistes, mais également dont elles se sont inscrites dans des controverses accompagnant leur circulation, en particulier sur les réseaux socio
numériques.
Une enquête par entretiens auprès des acteurs impliqués dans la production et la diffusion des données (principalement les journalistes mais aussi les autres professionnels impliqués) pour comprendre les conditions de production des données pendant la pandémie, les choix effectués (des sources, des indicateurs, etc.), leur cadrage et mise en forme (narration et visualisation) ainsi que le rapport aux publics et aux controverses suscitées par ces données.

Activités
Thèse de doctorat en journalisme et communication, axée sur la production des données par les journalistes en période de pandémie, sous la supervision de la professeure Nathalie PignardCheynel. La thèse sera constituée d’au moins 3 articles à publier dans des revues de la discipline, en cosignature avec la requérante voire d’autres membres du projet.
Contribuer aux événements (séminaires, rencontres, etc.) organisés dans le cadre du projet, en particulier avec les partenaires.
Contribuer à d’autres activités académiques et à la vie de l’institut.

Exigences
Master en communication ou journalisme, humanités numériques ou plus largement sciences sociales avec connaissance du champ de recherche en journalism studies et/ou expérience professionnelle en journalisme (autres profils bienvenus, si fort intérêt et capacité à investir rapidement le domaine des recherches en journalisme et médias)
Notions de base en récolte et analyses de données (data scraping,
cartographie de réseaux, etc.) et /ou analyse lexicométrique
Connaissances de base en statistiques
Indépendance et esprit d’initiative avérés
Esprit d’équipe
Langues : très bonne maîtrise du français (oral et écrit) et bonne maîtrise de l’anglais (C1)

CFP: Le numérique comme méthodes et terrains. Perspectives féministes (NuMFem 2023)

2022年12月1日 18:52

Le colloque “Le numérique comme méthodes et terrains : perspectives féministes” (NuMFem2023) se tiendra les  29-30 juin 2023 en ligne et au Centre Internet et Sociétré (CIS) sur le site Pouchet du CNRS (Paris).

L’ambition de ce colloque international est d’interroger la façon dont le numérique, à la fois instrument, méthode, terrain et objet de recherche (Bourdeloie, 2013), renouvelle non seulement les méthodes et méthodologies des sciences sociales (Millette et al., 2020) mais également ébranle le « système » du genre partant de l’idée que la science et les techniques qui la sous-tendent ne sont pas pures. Le calcul qui préside n’est pas neutre et les quantités de données massives collectées ne sauraient être gage d’objectivité (Venturini et al., 2014). Ainsi, les méthodologies utilisées ont des « conséquences politiques » (Proulx, 2020). Or, un « regard politique et épistémique» (Ibid.) sur les méthodes et méthodologies éclaire les conditions de production, de collecte et d’analyse des données, autrement dit sur le caractère « impur » et situé de la connaissance (Harding, 1991). Interroger les méthodes et méthodologies depuis un positionnement féministe, c’est donc prêter une attention particulière aux biais qui président à la production et à l’interprétation des données, c’est faire de ces biais des ressources heuristiques et épistémiques en vue de produire une recherche plus « objective » (Ibid.).

 

Le numérique, non plus comme méthode ou outil mais comme environnement cette fois, trouble les frontières du genre. L’informatique, et aujourd’hui l’intelligence artificielle, dénoncée comme « nouvelle ingénierie du pouvoir » (Crawford, 2021) sont imprégnées de biais de genre infusés dans le corps social. Du design aux usages, les normes de genre circulent dans les productions, les traces, les discours et les pratiques.

 

Il s’agit ainsi d’interroger les nouveaux défis que posent la statistique et les données massives au genre et à l’observation de ce rapport social. Les défis se posent effectivement en matière de méthode puisque le numérique ouvre des possibles. À la suite de travaux sur l’épistémologie féministe (Haraway, 2007 ; Harding, 1991), l’objectif de ces journées consiste ainsi à se demander si la recherche féministe peut enrichir les méthodes numériques (Hesse-Biber, 2012), favoriser des démarches plus inclusives, échapper aux biais de genre auxquelles s’exposent les méthodologies classiques, se soustraire à la binarité des dispositifs techniques et d’enquête, faire de l’identification de ces biais une source de réflexivité, rendre visible les paroles issues de minorités de genre et sexuelles dans le traitement des données. Enfin, dans une perspective critique, il s’agit aussi de se demander si, en réponse à la concentration opérée par les géants de l’internet, d’autres formes alternatives d’organisation sont possibles (Dulong de Rosnay et Musiani, 2020).

Axe 1 – Méthodes mixtes, interdisciplinaires et articulation « en ligne/hors ligne »

Cet axe de l’appel place la focale sur les travaux qui articulent plusieurs méthodes, disciplines et niveaux d’analyse, dans le cadre d’une perspective féministe appliquée au numérique.

En premier lieu, il s’agit de mettre en discussion la pertinence de l’usage des méthodes mixtes, qui articulent des éléments empruntés aux approches quantitatives et qualitatives. Sont attendues ici les propositions présentant des considérations méthodologiques ou la construction de terrains qui dépassent ce traditionnel clivage entre le qualitatif et le quantitatif. Sont également bienvenues les approches épistémologiques visant à cerner les contours, les apports et les limites des méthodes mixtes aux études féministes du numérique. À titre d’exemple, il est possible de citer l’utilisation de l’analyse de réseaux dans le but d’obtenir un corpus ciblé dont la taille ne constitue plus un obstacle à l’étude qualitative, utilisée par Julien Mésangeau et Céline Morin dans leur analyse de l’activité sociale de la manosphère sur YouTube (Mésangeau et Morin, 2021). La constitution d’un corpus de tweets avec l’appui de l’informatique, couplée à l’étude de la circulation des images et une approche sémiotique mobilisée par Virginie Julliard pour étudier la structuration de la mobilisation anti-genre sur Twitter, constitue un autre exemple de combinaison possible (Julliard, 2022).

Les enjeux liés à l’inter- et à la pluridisciplinarité des méthodes mobilisées pourront également être problématisés. Les études sur le genre comme l’analyse des médias numériques se déploient dans un contexte d’interdisciplinarité forte au sein des sciences sociales. Cet axe pourra accueillir tant les propositions qui abordent des recherches menées en contexte inter- ou pluridisciplinaire que les réflexions sur la façon dont les divisions disciplinaires impactent la compréhension des phénomènes étudiés. La confrontation des modèles et leur discussion pourra également avoir pour objectif d’en cerner les points aveugles. Dans sa thèse en informatique, Nick Doty (2020) s’appuie ainsi sur une approche interdisciplinaire couplant un travail ethnographique à l’usage de méthodes statistiques et informaticiennes, pour aborder la question des inégalités de genre (parmi d’autres) dans la participation au développement des standards d’Internet affectant la vie privée.

Enfin, les propositions pourront aborder l’articulation entre les méthodes numériques et « hors ligne » pour appréhender des phénomènes en ligne. L’objectif est ici de mettre en avant les travaux qui mobilisent en parallèle d’un terrain numérique des méthodes d’enquête en sciences sociales privilégiant le face à face (tels que l’entretien approfondi, l’observation in situ, l’observation d’usage, les focus groups etc.). Cela permettrait ainsi de dépasser l’opposition de sens commun entre les pratiques numériques et la « vie réelle », tout en réfléchissant à la façon dont les phénomènes en ligne observés prennent sens dans le cadre d’une réalité sociale plus large. Par exemple, une démarche d’enquête possible pour cerner les espaces en ligne pertinents à étudier afin de comprendre les usages d’une communauté consiste à partir des pratiques décrites par les enquêté⸱e⸱s rencontr⸱é⸱s dans différents cercles de sociabilité sur le terrain (réseau d’interconnaissance, associations etc.). C’est le choix qui avait été effectué par Lucie Delias et Mélanie Lallet dans leur étude des pratiques d’information en ligne autour des transidentités (Lallet & Delias, 2018 ; Delias & Lallet, 2019). Dans sa thèse sur les conditions de production et de circulation des discours « en/hors ligne » produits par le mouvement #NousToutes, qui lutte contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles, Irène Despontin Lefèvre (2022) articule également l’observation en ligne des plateformes numériques utilisées par le collectif à une démarche ethnographique mêlant observations in situ et entretiens.

Quel que soit l’angle choisi, les auteur⸱e⸱s sont particulièrement encouragé⸱e⸱s à mettre en œuvre une démarche réflexive, interrogeant l’intérêt des articulations proposées ainsi que des modes de collecte et d’analyse des données mis au point pour correspondre à leurs objectifs de recherche.

 

Axe 2 – Quel apport de l’épistémologie féministe aux méthodes numériques ?

Les sciences humaines et sociales se sont interrogées sur le féminisme comme épistémologie, méthodologie ou méthode. Les débats ont porté sur la façon dont le féminisme pouvait défier les méthodologies traditionnelles et sur l’éventuelle spécificité des méthodes d’enquête féministes (Harding, 1987). Si Sandra Harding a reconnu qu’il n’existait pas de méthodes « distinctement féministes », elle a néanmoins accordé que la recherche féministe recueillait son matériau dans des conditions spécifiques. Comme l’écrit Isabelle Clair (2016) à propos du rapport au terrain, la « nature des interactions qui se développent au cours d’une enquête ainsi que la transformation par l’enquêteur de la vie des autres en terrain (…) posent de nombreux problèmes qui rencontrent de façon singulière la promotion d’une science féministe » (Clair, 2016, p. 70). Ce regard caractéristique du féminisme a conduit plusieurs auteur·e·s à considérer qu’en mettant l’accent sur le politique, la recherche féministe enrichissait les approches méthodologiques classiques et leurs méthodes (Hesse-Biber, 2012 ; DeVault & Gross, 2012 ; Reinharz & Kulick, 2007 ; Bobo, 1989 ; hooks, 1992), tout comme elle favorisait des démarches plus inclusives (Hesse-Biber & Piatelli, 2012, p. 145 ; Chandrashekar, 2020).

Le numérique, à la fois instrument, méthode, terrain et objet de recherche (Bourdeloie, 2013), a renouvelé les méthodes et méthodologies des sciences sociales (Millette et al., 2020). Inspirés de la théorie du positionnement, des travaux se sont interrogés pour savoir si celle-ci pouvait être mobilisée, sur un plan méthodologique, pour la recherche sur les médias socionumériques (Luka et Millette, 2018) ; et dans quelle mesure il était là possible d’adopter une éthique du care. Les travaux de Jaércio Da Silva (2020), proposent ainsi d’étudier le déploiement des mouvements intersectionnels et apparentés sur la toile (tels que l’afroféminisme) comme terrain.

L’enjeu de cet axe consiste à mettre l’accent sur les spécificités en matière de démarche, méthodologie et méthode que posent les recherches féministes, intersectionnelles et de genre. Plus qu’une catégorie, un observable ou un outil de la subjectivité, le genre ne pourrait-il pas aussi constituer une démarche, méthode ou méthodologie pour observer les genres et les sexualités multiples ? Dans quelle mesure les déplacements des frontières du genre observées modifient-ils les méthodes et les façons de rechercher et vice et versa ? Dans quelle mesure les recherches féministes mobilisent-elles des méthodes spécifiques pour observer les mécanismes de différenciation, catégorisation et hiérarchisation sociales ? Et surtout dans quelle mesure le numérique peut-il constituer une méthode  permettant de déployer une éthique féministe ?

Axe 3 – Quels défis posent les données massives au genre ?

Le numérique, ainsi que les nouvelles dynamiques de production, de collecte et d’analyse des données dites massives posent de nouveaux défis au genre (Luka et Millette, 2018). Le genre devient problématique quand il est utilisé comme outil de mesure et confondu avec la notion de sexe (Cervulle & Quemener, 2014). Si, pendant longtemps, la sociologie quantitative n’a su que prendre appui sur l’enregistrement officiel du « sexe » de l’individu·e (de Singly, 2012) et se limiter à collecter et analyser des données sexospécifiques, de plus en plus d’enquêtes déploient de nouveaux dispositifs pour relever des défis plus en adéquation avec des réalités complexes et individuelles. Toutefois, sur un plan méthodologique, est-il possible, en termes statistiques, d’observer ce rapport social, de concevoir de nouveaux indicateurs et de nouvelles descriptions ? L’enjeu de cet axe est d’interroger comment – et dans quelle mesure – les données massives et quali-quantitatives permettent d’investiguer les questions liées au genre.
Comment construire des données et des outils de qualité, sensibles au genre, et échappant au modèle binaire ? Comment penser les logiques de groupe et les particularités ? Pour dépasser la question de la représentativité et s’attaquer aux questions d’inclusivité des données et des modèles notamment statistiques, il faut concevoir une politique des données adéquate et retravailler les notions de transparence, d’accessibilité et d’éthique. Comment relever ce défi ? Si la disponibilité et l’accessibilité des données augmentent, il importe également de promouvoir l’utilisation des données existantes dans le but d’approfondir et de diversifier les analyses des questions de genre.  Ces efforts doivent être soutenus par des initiatives visant à faire mieux connaître les données sur le genre, tant auprès des personnels de recherche que des responsables publics et de la population en général, de sorte à améliorer la compréhension et l’utilisation de ces données. 

 

Enfin, existe-t-il des tentatives pour renouveler les méthodes de collecte et d’analyse de données liées aux questions de recherche posées par les études de genre et afin de mieux saisir l’imbrication des rapports sociaux ? C’est, par exemple, ce que proposait la démarche de l’enquête « Violences et rapports de genre » (Virage) conduite en France par l’Institut national des études démographiques (Ined, 2017 ; Brown et al., 2021), qui « a institué les fondements d’une méthodologie qui repose sur l’absence de référence aux catégories juridiques dans les questions posées aux personnes enquêtées ».

The 2023 edition of the CROSS (Collaborative Research on Science and Society) program invited researchers from EPFL and the University of Lausanne to submit proposals for joint projects on the theme of crisis. These projects combine natural sciences and engineering with social sciences and humanities to address some of the most pressing challenges facing society.

It seems that the word ‘crisis’ appears in media headlines almost daily, whether in reference to the climate and natural disasters, political conflict and humanitarian aid, digital security and privacy, finance and socioeconomics, or even our physical and mental health. When a problem is elevated to the status of a crisis, it is often due to both its extremity and its urgency, necessitating immediate decision-making and action.

Because crises often develop at the convergence of several different factors, an interdisciplinary approach is essential to better understanding why crises occur, and developing potential solutions.

CROSS has granted funding for 2023 to six interdisciplinary projects at EPFL and the University of Lausanne (UNIL) that will address current crisis situations. Each project will receive up to CHF 60’000, to be shared between the two institutions.

CROSS 2023: Selected projects

 
Analysis and Modelling of the Dissemination and Social Impacts of Scientific Preprints during Crises

  • Daniel PROBST, EPFL (STI)
  • Michael PIOTROWSKI, UNIL (SLI, FL), member of the dhCenter

Under normal circumstances, cutting-edge research is of little interest to the general public. However, during the COVID-19 crisis, the media began to report on results shared in non-peer-reviewed preprints, and laypeople began to read, share, and comment on them via social media. Combining approaches from data science, machine learning, digital humanities, and history, this project aims to investigate the mechanisms of information flow in this particular crisis and compare it to historical crises. The ultimate goal is to develop a general methodology that can guide the processing of non-peer-reviewed scientific information and inform the communication of scientific information to the public and policymakers during crises.

Investigating industrial pollution: an interdisciplinary approach

  • Aurélie BERTHET, UNIL (UNISANTE, DSTE)
  • Alexandre ELSIG, EPFL (CDH)

At the beginning of 2021, a significant soil contamination to dioxins was discovered in Lausanne. It was due to a former waste incinerator that operated from 1958 to 2005. This episode illustrates how many industrial pollutions, past or present, can remain invisible for decades, and continuing to exert their harmful effects without inciting public authorities to protect the population. Based on an interdisciplinary approach, this project will retrace the history of pollution in Lausanne in order to improve its monitoring in terms of public health. It will mobilize tools and methods specific to toxicology, environmental chemistry, history and political sociology, in order to gather data on both the specificity of this pollution (extent, possible causes, age) and its non-constitution as a public problem. The complementarity of these perspectives will help to recommend practical solutions to reinforce the monitoring of environmental pollution, and develop an approach that can be transposed to other cases.

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach Using Remote Sensing and GIS for Drought Impacts Assessment on Vegetable Health

  • Jérôme CHENAL, EPFL (ENAC, CEAT)
  • Olivier GALLAY, UNIL (DO, HEC)

Along with our partner at EPFL, the project intends to develop and apply Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach Using Remote Sensing and GIS for Drought Impacts Assessment on Vegetable Health. Two areas with historically high agricultural production rates but prone to drought disasters were selected: Murehwa district, Mashonaland East province, Zimbabwe, Southern Africa and West Pokot county, western region of Kenya, Eastern Africa. Our findings will be disseminated in workshops, conference proceedings and open source journals.

Extended-range warnings for heatwaves in Switzerland (HEATaware)

  • Daniela DOMEISEN, UNIL (FGE)
  • Michael LEHNING, EPFL (ENAC, CRYOS)

Heatwaves are increasing globally in frequency and intensity under climate change. These changes in heatwaves represent a global crisis that could be mitigated by ample advance warnings for the relevant stakeholders. The goal of the HEATaware project is to assess the potential of heatwave prediction and warnings in Switzerland on timescales up to several weeks, including an evaluation of the potential benefits of such warnings for sectors that are directly linked to human lives and livelihoods, with a focus on human health and high-alpine environments. Heatwave warnings could help to prepare high-elevation areas in the fields of tourism, infrastructure, hydropower management and natural hazard warnings, while the Swiss midlands could greatly benefit from heatwave warnings that protect human health. The overall goal of this Swiss-wide collaboration is to use the available prediction skill for heatwaves to evaluate to what extent seamless heatwave warnings on timescales of days to weeks are possible and beneficial with respect to impacts on both mountain regions and lower-lying areas by bringing together experts in heatwave prediction, human health impacts, high-elevation hazards, and weather warnings.

Improving understanding of the biodiversity crisis resulting from glacial retreat through robotic data capture

  • Josie HUGHES, EPFL (STI, CREATE LAB)
  • Gianalberto LOSAPIO, UNIL (FGE)

Global environmental change, in particular rising temperatures, is causing alpine glaciers to retreat and disappear. This could have catastrophic effects; the recent IPCC Report highlights how glaciers are unique and threatened ecological and human systems that are a major reason for concern. This could be described as crisis situation for the ecosystems that these glacial environments support. However, the consequences of glacier retreat on ecosystems are still poorly known and difficult to measure. This makes it difficult to understand the current crisis situation, to enable potential solution to be explored. As such it is critically important to understand and monitor the changes in the biodiversity of these retreating and fast-changing glacier environments to develop solutions for anticipating the impact on glacier retreat on socioecological systems. We propose utilizing advances in tethered robot systems to develop a monitoring tool for gathering biodiversity data of these inhospitable environments in a safe way. These tethered robots traverse rope systems (deployed manually or by robots). By adding cameras and sample collectors (for insects and plant leaves) data can be gathered for extremely challenging and steep environments. This system will allow us to monitor biodiversity in previously inaccessible recent ice-free slopes and glacier surfaces, and allow for much larger collection of data in both temporal and spatial scales to improve our understanding of biodiversity changes in these key ecosystems.

Understanding loCal Risk cUlture(s) in the context of climate CrisIs: AvaLanche hazard from the perspective of anthropology and natural sciences & technologies / CRUCIAL

  • Florence GRAEZER BIDEAU, EPFL (CDH), member of the dhCenter
  • Michel JABODEYOFF, UNIL (FGE, ISTE)

International standard setting instruments and policy makers increasingly refer to the relationship between heritage, both tangible and intangible, and crisis. Heritage is here regarded both as being under threat and as a powerful tool for recovery and resilience. Encompassing “local risk culture”, namely the know-how of local populations developed to cope with crisis and to live in an hostile environment, Intangible Cultural Heritage is regarded as a resource for future generations and a source of inspiration to be integrated with technological innovation and scientific research.
This project focuses on Avalanche Risks Management, inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018 by Switzerland (in collaboration with Austria) and aims at unpacking the idea of a culture of risk management. Since avalanches are not regularly experienced by a given community within the same generation, this community shares a hazard culture of coping with danger, often in a situation of cognitive dissonance. This, however, is different from a culture of risk management. We want to understand how this culture of risk management is produced: does it “naturally” spurs in social interaction, or is it proactively triggered by communication and awareness raising? how do individual or group interests, associated in particular with the tourism industry shape perceptions of vulnerability and resilience? These questions have broader relevance and are particularly timely today, when natural disasters could become the new normal.

CFP: Historical Documents and automatic text recognition

2022年11月18日 21:54

With this special issue of the Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities (JDMDH), the goal is to bring together in one single volume several experiments, projects and reflections related to automatic text recognition on Historical documents.

Many projects now include automatic text acquisition in their data processing chain. The integration of this technology into increasingly powerful processing chains has led to an automation of tasks that affects the role of the researcher in the textual production process. This new data-intensive practice makes it urgent to collect and harmonize the corpora necessary for the constitution of training sets, but also to make them available for exploitation. This issue will be an opportunity to propose articles combining philological and technical questions to make a scientific assessment of the use of automatic text recognition for ancient documents, its results, its contributions and the new practices induced by its use in the process of editing and exploring texts. This special issue is an opportunity to question the practical aspects, while raising methodological challenges and its impact on research data.

This special issue is the outcome of an event that took place at the Ecole Nationale des Chartes in Paris on June 23 and 24, 2022, which brought together scholars from various backgrounds to discuss the use of HTR and OCR in their researches. During these days, problems of engineering, machine learning or infrastructure were raised. Many technical subjects such as segmentation or the development of models linked to philological questions were discussed. The different speeches covered a large number of documents: manuscripts, archives, epigraphic materials, documents, sometimes in languages with their own specificities such as Hebrew, Vietnamese languages as CHAM or ancient Greek from the 11th to the 20th century.

This call is open not only to participants of these event, but to anyone working with HTR or OCR.

To address these issues,  the following three axes are suggested:

– Axis 1: Sources, constitution and sharing of training data.

– Axis 2: Machine learning

– Axis 3: Feedback and data exploitation

Journal of Data Mining and Digital Humanities is an open-access peer-reviewed journal with first draft as pre-print in arxiv or HAL and peer-review post-publication.

Submission and deadlines

The papers are expected to be between 6 and 8 pages for short paper or between 12 and 15 pages for long papers.

The articles must present original and previously unpublished work.

All submissions must be in english

All the articles submitted are subject to blind peer-review in accordance with the journal’s editorial policies.

Submission deadline: 1 November 2022, Extension of the deadline to 1st of December

Médialab : Post-doc researcher – Horizon Europe PROJECT AUTHLIB

2022年9月30日 17:51

The project “Neo-authoritarianisms in Europe and the liberal democratic response” (AUTHLIB), jointly led by the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE) and the médialab is hiring a Post-doc researcher for 24 months.

The AUTHLIB project’s basic premise is that liberal democracy faces not one challenge but many challenges and that therefore we must comprehensively consider the challenges that have emerged across and within countries in Europe in recent years. To do the AUTHLIB project carefully and systematically explores the varieties of illiberalism. Illiberalism has diverse ways of appealing to elites and to highly varied citizens, through narratives, programs and policies, emotional appeals, and institutional innovations, and it has developed methods of diffusion, each of which needs to be understood and mapped. In line with the varieties of illiberalism and their diverse diffusion channels the policies to mitigate and combat them need to be appropriate to the nature of the challenge in a given context.

The Sciences Po team will be responsible for the most extensive empirical data-collection work package in the project. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be expected to contribute mainly to the data collection and empirical analyses which maps ideological configurations and dimensions by analyzing party documents, speeches of public figures and social media activity of engaged citizens and by the conducting expert-surveys on the orientation of political actors. The research work will be aimed at the preparation of high-quality publications, drafting and submission of research reports to the European Commission, , and organization of social impact activities in co-creation with civil society and institutions in Hungary and at the European level.


Skills and qualification

  • PhD in Political Science, Sociology, Data Science or related disciplines (completed or to be defended within max 6 months after the application).
  • Excellent knowledge of R or Python programming
  • Very good skills in text and (optionally) network analysis methods
