The industrial research project VOCADOM aims to define, in conjunction with end users, the features of a distant voice controlled home automation system that will adapt to the user and that can be used in real conditions (noise, presence of several people). To solve the challenges related to distant voice control and associated decision, robust integration of all available information (audio and home sensors) is needed. The partnership combines three research teams who are experts in speech and audio processing, artificial intelligence and methodology for user studies. In addition, a company in the field of embedded computing, and one subcontractor - a user society connected with elderly or visually impaired people - are involved to assure the socio-economic impact of the project. VOCADOM will dispose of one dedicated smart home in order to validate the experimental proof of concept with end users, in complement, some experiments will be made at personal home of such volunteer users.

While the live performance sector is increasingly attractive, especially for young professionals, taking into account the health of professionals has long been underestimated. As such, recent studies highlight a significant and growing malaise among artists. This project aims to identify the specific factors in the construction of the health of performing artists (and more specifically in the field of music, theater and dance) according to three levels (institutional, collective and individual) with a view to contribute to the improvement of prevention approaches, likely to be appropriated by players in the sector, in all their diversity. We seek to understand the links between the work activity of performing artists, their working conditions and the possible impacts on their mental, physical and social health. Our research problem is formalized as follows: in what way and how the joint consideration of the institutional, collective and individual levels of the health of performing artists is a lever for the prevention of occupational risks? We are thus seeking to identify the obstacles and resources to health to enable the construction and implementation of innovative systems where primary prevention plays its full role. Given the specificities of the live performance sector - its specific forms of employment, the conditions of exercise, the particularity of the relationship of subordination, its attractiveness, in particular for younger generations and its consequences on health... - the latter seems to us particularly relevant to study in order to identify the ways and means of improving the health of artists, based not only on the challenges facing the entertainment world but also on its history and culture. Added to this is that artistic creation is the fruit of a decision-making trio (administrative, technical and artistic) as well as the result of the action of two different populations that are the intermittent and the permanent of the show on the same event. To investigate this environment, qualitative methods will be used to question the players in the sector, observe companies and experiment with innovative participatory mechanisms to put the issue of health at the heart of the collectives. Several companies with different profiles are ready to open their doors to us in order to support them over several months. To carry out this JCJC research project, Elsa Laneyrie, MCF in work psychology and ergonomics will collaborate with researchers from five laboratories, an essential institutional partner and companies. Over 42 months, several studies will be deployed in order to identify the systems implemented, the knowledge already mastered by the actors, the individual and collective strategies deployed by the artists in order to build their own health. A report will be produced in parallel in order to keep track and present the actions undertaken within the companies. The conclusions will be such as to highlight the prevention strategies to be deployed to make health a central issue for the development of the sector and the profession of artist. We want to mobilize the sector and all stakeholders to identify sustainable resources to build and prevent health. More broadly, we hope that the conclusions of this work will make it possible to reduce professional risks, strengthen job retention, develop social dialogue, equip institutions to intervene as closely as possible to the needs of intermittent workers.

The human embryo is currently at the center of scientific, social, political and ethical concerns. Its manipulation is a controversial issue in Brazil and France. It highlights the role of the socio-cultural and symbolic processes of medical innovation. The evolution of scientific knowledge and practices relating to interventions in the edition of human embryos is part of the concerns of social life, both nationally and internationally. However, it currently poses many problems in the family, scientific, social, political, legal and ethical spheres. It is a subject of tension and controversy that generates an arena of conflict between different systems of social representations and scientific practices. It is a relevant object to study the mobilization and circularity of different forms of knowledge. Social Representation Theory (SRT) provides a useful framework for a holistic approach to social knowledge by studying the ways in which individuals and groups think in relation to their socio-cultural backgrounds. SRT focuses on how individuals and groups make sense of the world around them by actively creating their own reality based on shared knowledge and daily communication. On this basis, we will study, comparatively, using mixed methodologies, the social construction of the human embryo editing in these two cultural contexts. Our research program aims to analyze the role of "places" where social representations of the embryo editing are produced and updated and the impact of this knowledge on social practices. On a theoretical level, the question will be to clarify the "circularity" of scientific and social knowledge and the conditions for its updating. Supported by a multi-method approach and combining qualitative and quasi-experimental procedures, our research will consist of five complementary empirical steps: (1) literature review, in order to identify scientific debates and controversies concerning embryo editing; (2) mass media analyses, in order to investigate the sociogenesis of controversies in this area by understanding the main thematic dimensions of public debate; (3) social network analyses aimed at understanding spontaneous public reaction to embryo editing in French and Brazilian cyberspace; (4) focus groups analyses, in order to study the representations and construction of attitudes towards embryo assembly interventions in general and in socially normed situations; (5) quasi-experimental studies to analyze the sociocognitive processes involved in the formation of attitudes towards the modification of human embryos under several normative conditions. All procedures will be developed in accordance with the principles of bioethics in research involving humans. The two main partners, the French LPS-AMU and the Brazilian LABINT-UFPE, have been collaborating for several years in the field of social representations and social psychology using multi-methodological research strategies. Participation in the INTEMBRYO consortium of GREPS-LYON 2 strengthens skills for the study of social representations and communication dynamics on such a current and controversial subject. The collaboration of these three teams makes it possible to develop the research project within an international academic network (Serge Moscovici Global Network-FMSH, Serge Moscovici Franco-Brazilian Chair) and can provide original work that will make it possible to understand the social meaning of scientific innovations in the field of biotechnologies. It will allow a detailed understanding of public acceptance or resistance to intervention for the edition of embryos. Participation in the ADES-AMU consortium will provide opportunities to discuss ethical and societal issues on embryonic biotechnology. The results of the INTEMBRYO project could make an original contribution in several scientific fields concerned with public understanding of scientific innovation and taking into account the social and bioethical implications of genetic editing.
