Summary :

This PhD project aims to investigate transdisciplinary collaborations in sustainability science by analyzing the “zones ateliers” of CNRS, which are similar to LTSER sites or belong to the international LTSER network and where researchers and non academic actors invent new ways of working together. It will draw on a mixed survey combining i) an ethnographic study of a sample of collaborative projects based on repeated observations and in-depth interviews; iii) a quantitative approach based on a questionnaire sent to all the members of the zones ateliers. It will seek to produce a symmetrical and multi-level analysis of collaborations, accounting for their multiple dimensions and their evolution in the long term. It will contribute to the academic debate about transdisciplinary collaborations and sciences in society and will enhance the reflexivity of actors and institutions involved in collaborative structures.
