1st period

4 ERDF projects from 20/01/2016 to 30/11/2018 with the financial participation of the European Union via the ERDF.

 

INSECT 1: Development resources and new socio-territorial dynamics

The Development Resources and New Socio-Territorial Dynamics project is part of the CPER program Social, Economic and Cultural Innovation in Changing Territories. By focusing on the effects of proximity, this project analyzes the changes concerning new forms of financing and activities, and the responses of public policies in terms of climate change. The analysis mainly focuses on land from the Poitou-Charentes territories, with the aim of extending it to the whole of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The project strengthens research capacities through the creation of an observatory of public policies for the adaptation of territories to change, an observatory of short-food circuits, and contributes to the development of social innovation by dealing with new forms of economy.

 

The general objective sought by the project leader is to provide decision-makers and economic actors, as well as institutional actors, with elements of understanding of socio-territorial dynamics as well as decision-making tools regarding the strategies and policies to be implemented. To achieve this, we have broken down the operation into several specific objectives according to the actions we will present above:

 

Action 1: Funding and territories

This action has 3 objectives:

• To study how banks or other sources of financing with a local or regional dimension can play a specific role in financing the economic activity of their territory.
• Assess the effectiveness of this local display at a regional and local level, in particular for the Regional Banks of banks located in the Poitou-Charentes area, based on a quantitative and/or qualitative analysis through exchanges with members of the cooperative banks concerned.
• Assess the territorial impacts of national and international financial balances, via access to financing for companies.

 

Action 2: Changing territories and public policies: climate change and food geo-economics

This action has 2 objectives:

• Supporting the Region in its policies for mitigating and adapting territories to climate change by implementing:
  • an observatory of regional and local public policies for the mitigation and adaptation of territories to climate change, designed as a tool for the production and transfer of knowledge to think about and question adaptation policies with a view to assessing the impact of different environmental schemes, the place of renewable energies in mitigation strategies, the management of natural risks and water resources, as well as the diversification strategy agricultural and functional activities led by farmers. This observatory thus intends to respond to a strong social and political demand for the construction of a space for exchange, dialogue and cooperation between the world of research and regional and local socio-economic actors. And
  • an observatory of short food circuits which aims to amplify our research on this theme by specifying the socio-spatial typologies of producers, consumers and the links they forge, in order to create common benchmarks for the actors in this heterogeneous field despite a common name (economic motivations, societal motivations, traditional short circuits and new short circuits, etc.). The inter-regional observatory of short circuits will be the flagship product of this scientific approach. It will make the link between the question of new territorial organizations revealed by the establishment of new functional relations between producers and consumers, and the new territorialities that result from them.
• To better understand the functional profile of small and medium-sized towns in Poitou-Charentes in the context of the new large Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes region.

INSECT 2: Education, training, health and social inclusion

The objective of this project is to analyse how to better rely on human capital for development, by addressing the factors that hinder social inclusion: inequalities in access to academic success, professional integration, and health.

With the overall aim of better understanding the factors that hinder social inclusion and proposing ways to address the difficulties, the project sets threemore targeted objectives.

Objective 1: Improve learning

The aim is to remove the barriers related to academic difficulties, at all levels, including that of the transition from high school to university: by a better understanding of the learning processes on the one hand, and by relying on digital tools to develop tools for assessment and tools for learning.

Objective 2: Addressing the obstacles to integration

Integration is approached in connection with educational and training pathways, taking into account inequalities between individuals. How do these inequalities intervene in school evaluation, how do they influence integration, in what legal contexts does the integration process take place?

Objective 3: Facilitate access to health and autonomy

In order to contribute to a better social inclusion of people in difficulty, in connection with health, three areas will be addressed:

The renunciation of care for people in precarious situations

The question of the autonomy of people with mental or psychological disabilities

Therapeutic education for patients with serious pathologies

INSECT 3 bis: Cultural and educational enhancement of digitized heritage data

The operation is part of a framework of scientific analysis of socio-cultural phenomena, in particular through the conservation, exploitation and enhancement of documentary, heritage and living collections. In connection with information technologies, the programme intends to design new methods of learning and training, to enhance tangible and intangible heritage, and to explore original avenues in the field of the history of artistic creation, citizen tourism and political history.

 

Indeed, in the face of the massification of digitized heritage data made available in digital environments, it is necessary to propose, through a transdisciplinary analysis in the humanities and social sciences, a new approach to this documentation that can be consulted by as many people as possible. It is also necessary to produce analytical reflections on the educational and cultural impacts of these new possibilities of access to data.

 

The operation has several objectives:

– to take stock of the conditions for the conservation and availability of archives and heritage collections of research in the humanities, or of scientific collections gathered in universities;

– to enhance and adapt documentary collections to the needs of education and culture for all (motivation and tourist demand in particular);

– rethinking the logic of heritage, transmission and teaching in the digital age;

– to nourish and enlighten the citizen debate on education, artistic creation, contemporary political issues echoing the socio-legal-cultural realities of the past.

The operation “Cultural and educational enhancement of digitized heritage data” is based on 4 actions that we will present below:

 

INSECT 3: Innovation, cultural and creative industries

The “” operation focuses on securing and enhancing the value of intellectual property in the digital economy. The objectives of this operation are to:

• identify the practices of producers of cultural content to secure and enhance their Intellectual Property;
• build an observatory of the digital uses of different types of users (families, young people, working people, etc.) and
• address the issue of access to culture for disadvantaged populations in order to contribute to the reduction of cultural and social inequalities between citizens.

Poitou-Charentes is home to a significant activity linked to the cultural and creative industries: the 21,833 establishments (cultural facilities and companies) present employ nearly 60,000 people. The sector is characterized by VSEs and SMEs that constitute a structurally fragile network of skills working in an economy that has been completely disrupted by the development of digital technology, from the design to the distribution of cultural works and products. In a region focused on image, digital technology and design, as well as on data processing (data, signals, image, video, sound), the research project aims to establish a one-stop shop – LA CLINIQUE DU NUMÉRIQUE – so that VSEs and SMEs in the region can access university research in order to contribute to making the emerging business models of the digital economy in the Region sustainable.

The transdisciplinary team brought together as part of this project aims to provide concrete solutions to the key issues raised by the companies and public actors that make up the cultural and creative industries located in the region:

• From a strategic point of view: How can companies in the region promote digital models and innovative technologies from nationally and internationally recognized research laboratories that participate in standardization bodies? Based on these advances related to R&D, what competitive advantage can be built in the digital ecosystem? How can we respond to and remove the scientific and technical barriers of companies in the region associated with one or more methodological bricks of an innovative product?
• From a legal point of view: How to negotiate digital rights on dematerialized works to develop the activity of companies?,
• From the point of view of uses: How do users appropriate the flow of innovations in terms of media and distribution channels to consume cultural content?
• From the point of view of public policies: How can libraries or museums integrate dematerialization into their loan or exhibition policies?
