SUMMARY:TTI.5 Award for the Best Case Study of an Environmental Controversy from the course ‘Description of controversies’
DESCRIPTION:TTI.5 Award for the best case study of an environmental controversy\nfrom the course ‘Description of controversies’ \n  \n\nTTI.5 The Transition Institute 1.5  is organizing its third annual forum\, entitled “Taking Inspiration from Nature: What Perspectives for Transition?” \n \nRegistration for the 3rd TTI.5 Forum is required. Please register here.\nDownload the full program. \nFor its 3rd edition\, and as part of the course entitled “Description de controverses” [Description of controversies] coordinated by Madeleine Akrich (CSI-i3 – Mines Paris-PSL)\, who will introduce this session\, the TTI.5 Environmental Controversy Prize will reward the best case study of an environmental controversy carried out by students in the Civil Engineering Program at Mines Paris-PSL. \nThe three case studies nominated for the award were selected based on the highest marks received for the papers and oral presentations. The authors of the three nominated projects will each give a 10-minute presentation on their work. A vote by the public will follow immediately after the presentations. The award will be presented to the winners by Matthieu Mazière\, Director of Studies at Mines Paris – PSL. \nThe environmental controversies explored in the course ‘Description of Controversies’ reflect the CSI-i3’s interest in this field of study\, as part of a body of research and academic activities pertaining to the theme Policies\, instruments and innovations for the ecological transition (Theme C)\, developed within the Interdisciplinary Institute on Innovation (i3). \nThe environmental controversy projects that have been nominated and will be submitted to the vote of the public are: \n\n\n \n\n\nLe recyclage du plastique peut-il tenir ses promesses ?\n[Can plastic recycling live up to its promise?]\nThe group’s work will be presented by Grégoire Leboucher\, Fanny Picamal and Alizée Cinquin. \nThe development of the plastics industry in the 20th century is widely criticized today. The damaging effects of plastic on health and the environment are at issue. Although recycling is presented as a solution to plastic waste\, only a fraction is actually recycled; the rest often ends up in landfills or oceans. The very characteristics that make plastic attractive — its stability and durability — also make it difficult to recycle. The process is often complex and costly and can generate greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Controversial issues include the promise of plastics and recycling technologies\, and the development of alternative materials such as bio-plastics. Read the article \nL’agrivoltaïsme – Photovoltaïque en terre agricole : énergie d’avenir ou menace pour l’agriculture ?\n[Agrivoltaics – Photovoltaics on farmland: energy for the future or a threat to agriculture?] \nThe group’s work will be presented by Alice Machelon\, Astrid Soulas\, Marion Stenta and Théo Takla. \nAgrivoltaic technologies are currently experiencing strong growth. Introduced twenty years ago\, these technologies combine agricultural production and photovoltaic electricity generation on the same site. While they offer the potential to increase the area available for renewable energy production\, they also raise a number of questions. Which crops are compatible with these infrastructures? Will this lead to a de facto reduction in arable land? Economic questions also arise. What is the profitability of these installations? What consequences might the entry of energy companies into this sector have on farmland prices? Ultimately\, will agrivoltaics enable the combination of energy and agricultural production? Read the article \nCohabiter avec les rats – Une relation ambivalente ?\n[Cohabiting with rats – An ambivalent relationship?] \nThe group’s work will be presented by Augustin Le Corre\, Piero Jaime Hinostroza\, and Lilia Ben Mariem. \nGarbage collectors on strike\, large-scale works underway in the run-up to the Olympic Games… and the presence of rats in cities is back in the spotlight. Some consider them pests to be eradicated\, while others consider them contributors to biodiversity. Either way\, rats have become a subject of public debate\, mobilizing elected representatives\, citizens\, doctors\, and ecologists. Their numbers\, the diseases and nuisances they cause\, the methods used to control their proliferation\, their usefulness – everything is a subject of controversy\, and everyone wonders whether we should cohabit with rats.

SUMMARY:Next session of the Aventures Industrielles seminar
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, Nicolas Chartier and Guillaume Paoli came up with an idea for a start-up: to sell cars online\, starting with cheaper 0 km vehicles purchased from dealers with overstocks. With initial success\, they set about removing the irritants for buyers: taking care of administrative formalities\, arranging credit\, taking back the customer’s car\, customized delivery\, etc. They then have to set up agencies\, a car reconditioning plant\, and solve routing and delivery problems. They are faced with formidable technical\, logistical and administrative problems. To overcome them\, sometimes at the cost of severe crises\, they discovered the virtues of sharing decisions and initiatives with their staff\, and the often overlooked benefits of Lean management. In this way\, the idea of a two-person start-up was gradually transformed into an astonishing collective adventure. \nFree registration–  Closing date: Wednesday\, June 4\, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. \nFor more information \n

SUMMARY:Innovation management
DESCRIPTION:Rolex has dominated the world watch market for over fifty years. The advent of electronics\, globalization and the arrival of luxury conglomerates have had a considerable impact on the watch industry over the last half-century\, but Rolex’s leadership has remained unchanged. How can we explain this impressive success? Is it necessary to innovate in order to persist? Based on Swiss\, American and British archives\, a recent study* has shed light on the conditions of Rolex’s enduring multi-dimensional exceptionalism. The meeting of Swiss industrial genius (mass-producing top-quality watches) and American marketing genius (creating a discourse on the excellence of Rolex-wearing personalities) is at the root of this success. Pierre-Yves Donzé will discuss the adoption of a new strategy in the 1960s\, and what made it possible to maintain it to the present day. \nRegistration \nRegistration closes on June 10 at 3pm. \n\n\n* Pierre-Yves Donzé\, La Fabrique de l’excellence – Histoire de Rolex (Alphil\, 2024)

SUMMARY:Cerna seminar will welcome Leonard Treuren (KU Leuven)
DESCRIPTION:Wage markups and buyer power in intermediate input markets \n  \nHow are imperfections in different input markets related? I show how to estimate the wedge between an input’s price and its marginal revenue product using financial statements without requiring any input market to be perfectly competitive\, and apply this approach to Dutch manufacturing. Firms mark down intermediate input prices relative to their marginal revenue product\, while both wage markups and wage markdowns are common in labor markets. A model where firms face upward sloping supply curves in both input markets\, and collective bargaining determines wages\, can rationalize these findings\, but not a model that only allows for imperfections in a single input market. In line with this rent-sharing framework\, I show that as the Euro appreciates\, markdowns and rents in the intermediate input market of firms that import intermediates from China increase\, and workers see their wages increase\, even though labor does not become more revenue productive on average or on the margin.   \nWage_markups25 Paper  \nThere will be an opportunity to schedule individual meetings with Leonard before the seminar. \nPlease enter your preferred time slot here.

SUMMARY:Seminar ‘Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance\, what we care about’
DESCRIPTION:Insurance and Maintenance:\n \nfrom vanishing line to breaking point\n \n  \n\nThe focus of this third session is on the expert and the insurer. The session will provide an opportunity for the crossing of narratives and for a shifting of the gaze of practitioners as well as researchers.\n \nGuest speakers: \nLudovic Patouret\, expert engineer / cabinet GECAMEX (technical and financial construction litigation) \nMichel Klein\, Deputy General Manager\, Mutuelle des Architectes Français assurances (MAF) \n  \n\nWhen it comes to architectural structures\, insurance is probably more self-evident than maintenance. What does this preference tell us? \nInsurance is an intransitive response to the client’s dual demand for zero risk and zero maintenance. It shapes our perception of reality (Anne Dufourmantelle\, 2014\, Eloge du risque). Like a translucent\, protective film affixed to the envelope when the building is handed over to the client\, the ten-year and structural damage insurance policies — unwittingly — contribute to making maintenance invisible and masking the need for it. \nBy mapping the contours of risk and operating within its boundaries\, the insurance mechanism renders the future predictable in mathematical terms: insurance creates a horizon and defines a territory\, providing the exposed activity of the architect with relative stability and a secure playground in an uncertain\, ever-changing world. \nMaintenance\, on the other hand\, remains outside the realm of design. It belongs to the realms of the unforeseeable and the invisible. It blurs the contours and disturbs the horizon that is projected onto the structure. Maintenance lifts the veil to reveal\, in an imprecise chiaroscuro\, the materiality of risk and the possibility of breaking points beyond probabilistic vanishing lines. \nAssigned by the insurer to confront the test of reality\, to investigate\, analyze and formulate hypotheses of causality\, the expert undoubtedly shares with the maintainer the same sensitive experience of the building’s otherness\, a way of approaching structures in a singular dialogue with materials and technical arrangements. By stepping into the fold of techniques (B. Latour\, 2011)\, the expert becomes both the witness of any form of alteration to the structure and the interpreter of the relationships woven around it\, unfolding the mechanisms of attribution\, regulation and organization put in place as the structure shapes its own mode of existence. \n\nParticipation is free but registration is required. Please register here. \nAttendance is limited. Kindly let us know if you are unable to attend. \nThe seminar will be held in French. \n\nOrganized by architectural agency SCAU and Jérôme Denis.\nLearn more about the seminar’s objectives. \n \nPhoto : Wim Wenders\, Perfect days\, 2023\, Master Mind.
