Appel à contribution - Ouvrage collectif sur les effets rebonds

Effets rebonds : quels défis scientifiques et opérationnels pour la transition socio-écologique ?
Le caractère évolutif et pluriel du concept rend la nature de l’effet rebond difficile à appréhender et à délimiter. À ce jour, plusieurs questions peuvent se poser : un effet rebond ne résulte-t-il qu’en des conséquences dommageables relatives aux enjeux environnementaux ? ou ces conséquences peuvent-elles aussi être bénéfiques et créatrices de valeur ? quel est le lien entre effet rebond et impact socio-écologique ? comment est-il intégré aux démarches de conception ?

Autant de questions auxquelles l’ouvrage que nous projetons de publier tentera de répondre. Pour en savoir plus, nous vous invitons à participer et voir l'appel en cliquant ici

Les limites planétaires, un guide pour nos actions quotidiennes ! Ou comment devenir acteur dans la préservation de notre maison Terre !

Pour la 33e édition de la Fête de la Science, D-TechnoSS s'est engagé à l'Université de Technologie de Troyes pour sensibiliser le public aux enjeux cruciaux des limites planétaires.

Ce fut l’occasion d’échanger avec des élèves du primaire, des collégiens, et des familles, tous curieux de découvrir les défis de notre planète !
Notre participation visait à faire connaître le concept des limites planétaires et à réfléchir, ensemble, sur l’impact de nos modes de consommation et de nos gestes quotidiens sur ces limites. Les participants ont pris conscience des habitudes qu'ils peuvent transformer pour réduire notre empreinte collective.
Au fil de l'atelier, le public a imaginé et partagé des actions, des solutions et des comportements durables pour un avenir plus soutenable. Sérieux dans le sujet mais avec une touche ludique, nous avons mis en place un espace d’équipe dynamique pour générer des idées et des actions simples, efficaces, et, surtout, réalisables au quotidien. Ensemble, nous avons semé les graines d’un futur écologique, où chacun peut devenir champion de la planète !
Cet atelier a été une formidable opportunité de mettre en lumière l'importance de sensibiliser la société civile aux enjeux de la transition socio-écologique.

Un grand merci au comité d'organisation UTT

D-TechnoSS participates in the Orange Webinar

On June 21, 2024, Mélissa Escobar, PhD candidate at the Institut Henri FAYOL EMSE and Valérie Laforest from the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne EMSE, both members of the D-TechnoSS, participated in the webinar: “Research & Responsible Digital Technology”, organized by Orange.

This webinar brought together 40 participants from Orange and focused on the concept of strong sustainability, the research theme of the ANRD-TechnoSS  project. Durint the spring, Orange invited researchers to present their scientific work on sobriety and strong sustainability.

For a sustainable transition, it is crucial to understand the interdependencies between society, the economy, and the environment. Strong sustainability affirms that natural resources and ecosystem services are irreplaceable, and social equity and economic prosperity must respect planetary boundaries. Industrial innovation is essential to achieve strong sustainability, and large companies in the ICT sector must adopt more sustainable production and consumption practices.

Mélissa Escobar and Valérie Laforest explained the different aspects of the strong sustainability approach and presented concrete examples of its application. These examples are intended to help participants take ownership of this approach by showing how it can be integrated into organizational and industrial strategies.

We thank Orange group, particularly Claire Gayan, Operational Manager of Research domains at Orange, and Marc Vautier, Referent of the Orange Energy & Environment Expertise community. This initiative represents an excellent opportunity for sharing and collaboration between research and industry to meet sustainability challenges.

The festival “La Guinguette LowTech”

On July 17, 2024, Valérie Laforest, member of D-TechnoSS, participated in the Festival “La Guinguette LowTech” organized by Orange the Association Halage.

The first edition of the “La Guinguette LowTech” festival took place from 17 to 19 July. It is an eco-responsible event organized by the Association Halage. This festival aimed to immerse participants in the sustainable innovation and conviviality experienced at #Lil’Ô.

During this festival, there were workshops to learn how to make low-tech solutions for everyday life, along with concerts and shows. There was no shortage of round tables, and Valérie Laforest, a member of the D-TechnoSS project, participated with participated with special guests Loraine Moiroud, Camille Justeau-Morellet, Jean-Christophe GROUSSET, Elise Hauters, Nicolas BIJON and Marion Roullet to discuss the theme "Low-tech, kézaco ?"

This was an opportunity to hear from participants, from scientific, associative, and industrial perspectives, about their experiences and knowledge of the low-tech approach, its application, and its relationship with sustainability.

At D-TechnoSS, we consider these events to be rich and inspiring experiences that encourage and contribute to the effective deployment of sustainability approaches. Local associations and communities provide favorable environments for the development of new disruptive sustainability projects, particularly low-tech.
We want to thank the organizers and all the event participants for this invitation.

D-TECHNOSS present at The YGGDRASIL festival

The YGGDRASIL festival took place last February 4 and 5 in the city of Lyon. Mélissa Escobar, PhD candidate of our project, had the opportunity to disseminate her research work about design and strong sustainability.

On February 3rd and 4th, the Eurexpo Park in Lyon was the venue for the YGGDRASIL FESTIVAL. It gathers more than 30,000 enthusiasts of the worlds of imagination and geek-pop culture. During this festival, the session "Tomorrow, but better" took place. It was an immersive exhibition on everything that happens in the field of science to prepare for a positive and humanistic tomorrow. Mélissa Escobar, PhD candidate at the Institut Henri FAYOL EMSE in partnership with La Rotonde - Centre de Sciences, took part in a "speed searching" section in the popular science area of the Collège Ingénierie.

This event was a great opportunity and an excellent experience for our PhD students to disseminate their research work to society. In the words of Mélissa Escobar: "The public was very interested in the research on Strong Sustainability, although the topic was a bit in contrast with the futuristic atmosphere (in a world of infinite resources). They left grateful that they understood that we were doing research anchored in the reality of the environmental problem. The day was full of great meetings. The public was wildly diverse: EDF staff, families, politicians..."

Many thanks to Melissa for her commitment to the dissemination of her research and the objectives of the ANR D-TechnoSS project (ANR-20-CE10-0006).

Meeting 2023 of the D-TECHNOSS Team in Lyon

On October 10 and 11, the annual progress seminar of the D-TechnoSS project took place. On this occasion, the team met at UMR 5600 EVS in Lyon.

During these two days of collaborative work, scientific and managerial points of the D-TechnoSS project (ANR-20-CE10-0006) were discussed. Professor Laure Lavorata, from the University of Paris Naterre, gave an enriching presentation on theoretical models of consumption that identify consumer influencing factors and how these could integrate the strong sustainability approach. The second part dealt with the progress of Mélissa Escobar's doctoral thesis on design for strong sustainability DfSoSy. This doctoral research is supervised by Valérie Laforest, Jenny Faucheu, and Nadège Troussier. This intervention also included the main results of Clothilde Gagne's Master 2 internships. Her internship focused on the application of the design for strong sustainability (DfSoSy) method to a food problem in an ecovillage (OASIS du coq à l'âme in Celettes).
This working meeting also aimed at finalizing a scientific paper on the interdisciplinary positioning of the D-TechnoSS project. This article will be submitted for publication in November 2023. We thank all the members of the D-TechnoSS team for these two days of rich exchanges.

In April 2024, the Université de Technologie de Troyes, coordinating partner of the project, will host the next face-to-face meeting.

D-TechnoSS at ATA 2023 Workshop

On October 4, the EcoSD network organized the annual thematic workshop ATA 2023, which was dedicated to the low-tech approach and its place within the transition towards sustainability. During the day, there were a series of interventions by different actors who shared their vision, experience, analysis and perspectives of the Low-Tech approach in the face of current socio-ecological challenges.

Tatiana Reyes, coordinator of the D-TechnoSS project, participated in the roundtable "Regards Croisés" animated by Audrey Tanguy, associate professor at Institut Fayol and co-organizer of the event. Tatiana shared with us her perspectives from an academic-scientific point of view. Valérie Laforest, also a member of D-TechnoSS and head of the Department of Environment for Organizations at the Fayol Institute, Mines Saint-Étienne, led a session on "Uses and appropriation of Low-Tech".
In this session, Luis Miguel presented a research work co-authored by Ulysse GIRARD, Sebastian PINTO and Tatiana Reyes, which offers a series of strategic clues to promote the acceptance of Low-Tech inspired by real cases and analogous approaches such as frugal innovation and sociotechnical adaptation.

We thank the EcoSD network and the event organizers for facilitating this space for exchanges, dialogues and reflections.

Fête de la science 2023

Agir ou acheter vert, la révolution quotidienne ! Ou comment devenir acteur dans la préservation de notre maison Terre !

Pour la 32e édition de la Fête de la Science, D-TechnoSS a participé au sein l'Université de technologie de Troyes pour sensibiliser le public aux enjeux socio-environnementaux. Nous avons pu échanger avec des élèves des écoles primaires, des collégiens et des familles.

L’objectif de notre participation a été de s’interroger et réfléchir sur comment nos modes de consommation de produits et nos gestes quotidiens impactent sur l’habitabilité de notre planète. Chaque participant a eu quelques minutes pour réfléchir à ses comportements individuels. Il a ensuite discuté avec quelqu’un de sa famille (ou proche) pour réfléchir dans un contexte plus interpersonnel. 
Cette activité nous a permis d'identifier qu'il existe des comportements que nous devons privilégier pour réduire notre impact environnemental dans nos activités quotidiennes.
Many thanks to the organizing committee UTT

D-TechnoSS at ICED Conference 2023

"Strong sustainability aspects in the ideation process" was presented by Jenny Faucheu at ICED Conference.

Organized by the Design Society and the Université de Bordeaux, the ICED Conference is a unique forum to discuss academic, educational and industrial issues and the changes required. It was a pleasure to have presented the results of our research at this conference. Our article "Strong sustainability aspects in the ideation process: a pedagogical experiment" was presented by Jenny Faucheu, member of D-TechnoSS.

Nuit Européenne de chercheur.e.s 2022

During the "European Researchers' Night 2022" Melissa had two interventions with college students.

Disseminating our research project to the public is a priority. Melissa had the opportunity to perform twice in front of college students. The first was a "Make Your Games" evening. The aim was to increase public awareness of the climate catastrophe and its anthropogenic cause. Melissa used the "La fresque du Climat" tool on the Quiz version of her. The second intervention was carried out with students from Jules Valles College where Melissa presented her research work in order to raise awareness about the current climate catastrophe.

WEBINAR | Rebound effects

The S.mart network organized last November 10, 2022 from 12:15 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. the webinar entitled "Rebound effects: what are the scientific and operational challenges for the socio-ecological transition?"
This edition was animated and presented by:
Michal Kozderka – UNISTRA
Emmanuel Caillaud – CNAM
Lou-Lyne Leconte – member of D-TECHNOSS, PhD student URCA/UTT
Tatiana Reyes – member of D-TECHNOSS, UTT
Jean-Claude Boldrini – Nantes University

In this webinar, the evolutionary and plural nature of the concept is analyzed in order to present clues for reflection on its uptake and delimitation. Currently, there are several questions on the subject: Does a rebound effect only bring harmful consequences related to environmental issues? Or can these consequences also be beneficial and create value? What is the link between the rebound effect and the socio-ecological impact? How is it integrated into the design process? Is it necessarily unpredictable or can it be apprehended through models, methods, assessment tools or simulation? Should it be approached in a multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary way?

Within the D-TECHNOSS project, the concept of rebound effects is an important element to consider in the doctoral works of Lou-Lyne and Melissa. However, we believe that the study of this concept in other disciplines will allow a better understanding of all its implications.

Meeting of the D-TECHNOSS Team in DIJON

On June 24, 2022, in the city of Dijon, the D-TECHNOSS team held its seminar and reflection workshop on strong sustainability.

 

The seminar had as its central topic of discussion the definition of the concept of strong sustainability. The first part of our meeting was focused on analyzing the concept of strong sustainability. Strong sustainability is the main axis of our project and it is necessary to be able to concretize the way to make its definition operable.

The second part of our seminar focused on the advancement of our two PhD students, Lou-Lyne LECONTE and Melissa ESCOBAR. They presented us with their first results and their work plan for the coming months. Articulating two investigations from the human sciences and engineering in the D-TECHNOSS project allows a complete vision of the problem to be studied.

3ème Journée Marketing et Développement durable

On December 9, 2021, the 3ème Journée Marketing et Développement durable (JMDD) took place in Troyes in connection with the thematic interest group (GIT) of the French Marketing Association AFM and the Institute of Services and Industries of the Future of Troyes ISIFT . Lou-Lyne LECONTE, a doctoral student within the D-TECHNOSS project, presented a first part of the results of her doctoral thesis.

With the presentation entitled "CONSUMERS AND ECODESIGN: A LITERATURE REVIEW", Lou-Lyne addresses the relationships between consumers, sustainable development and ecodesign. This synthesis reveals the difficulties of definition and the limits inherent to sustainable development and ecodesign and, therefore, raises the need to rethink these notions. In her presentation, Lou-Lyne mentions that consumer expectations illustrate a growing concern for sustainable development. However, the role of the consumer in the proper use of eco-designed products and services does not seem to benefit from the necessary consideration during the design phase, thus generating rebound effects that can destroy the potential environmental gains achieved.
