CRI is co-constructing and sharing new ways of learning, teaching, conducting research and mobilizing collective intelligence in the fields of life, learning and digital sciences, in order to address the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs).
CRI operates around 4 main areas :
CRI was founded in 2006 by François Taddei and Ariel Lindner with the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation as an essential and key supporting partner and Paris City Hall. It also benefits from the support of a wide range of foundations, corporate sponsors and institutions including the University of Paris, with which CRI co-founded the interdisciplinary action-based research challenge institute (“Institut des Défis”) to prototype a model of a Learning University enable of responding to the global challenges of our time.
La Biennale internationale du design 2021 à Saint-Etienne a pour titre BIFURCATIONS. Le CRI est co-auteur de la conception et de la réalisation de BIFURCATIONS DANS L'APPRENTISSAGE, une des grandes expositions qui a la particularité d'être produite par les étudiants de l'ESADSE . Durant cette troisième semaine de workshop créatif, les étudiants définissent la scénographie, les gabarits des espaces de l'exposition et imaginent l'atmosphère dans laquelle se déroulera le parcours des visiteurs. Ce workshop a lieu à Saint-Etienne, dans les locaux de l'école et de la Cité du design, dans l'ancienne manufacture d'armes de Saint-Etienne. Il commencera avec l'exploration des magasins de l'école et de la ville pour choisir le matériel de réemploi qui est à la base de la scénographie. Il continuera avec le dessin et la production de maquettes de l'exposition ... Le groupe est encore ouvert, les délais sont courts et tous les talents sont bienvenus, qu'il s'agisse de scénographie, de participation aux conférences, de contenu pour l'exposition. Si vous êtes intéressé.e.s par le thème, et par le procédé de production collective par des étudiants, parlons-en ! Au CRI deux personnes sont principalement à votre écoute sur le sujet : Marguerite Benony, cheffe de projet, Sophie Pène, Co-commissaire de l'exposition, avec Olivier Lellouche (Esadse) toutes les deux joignables à l'adresse prénom.nom@cri-paris.org
Deep learning driven model discovery in biology and physics
In this talk I will introduce DeepMoD, a deep learning based model discovery algorithm which seeks the partial differential equation underlying a spatio-temporal data set. DeepMoD employs sparse regression on a library of basis functions and their corresponding spatial derivatives. A feed-forward neural network approximates the data set and automatic differentiation is used to construct this function library and perform regression within the neural network.We illustrate this approach on several problems in the context of (bio)physics, mechanics and fluid dynamics, such as the Burgers', Korteweg-de Vries, advection-diffusion and Keller-Segel equations, and find that it requires as few as O(100) samples and works at noise levels up to 75%. This resilience to noise and high performance at very few samples allows to apply DeepMoD directly to noisy experimental time-series data, discovering e.g. the advection diffusion equation from a gel electrophoresis experiment.
Depoliticizing and repoliticizing SDGs
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become an important political reference for all types of institutions as public administration, multinationals or NGOs. The advocates of SDGs emphasize that they are the result of a deliberative and decision-making process building on expert knowledge and considering a plurality of moral arguments about human dignity, achieving a discursive consensus with strong universalist legitimacy. However, they have been accused to be a political instrument for imposing “green-economy” under a neoliberal agenda (e.g. fostering land-grabbing), ignoring that sustainability requires the reduction of consumption of the richest and redistribution, and not just a change in the so-called Knowledge-based Bio-Economy. In this seminar, we will discuss: (i) how ignoring the systemic contradictions among SDGs when implementing specific policies contribute to the growing distrust in institutions; (ii) how depoliticising for maintaining consensus is a bad solution to handle conflicts derived from SDGs agenda; (iii) the fact that the identification of the concerns addressed by SDGs has been based on deliberative processes, does not exclude that at the moment of prioritizing policies a hegemonic perspective of perpetual economic growth is adopted; (iv) the implementation of SDGs policies would require not only a deliberative process identifying priorities over concerns but also the recognition of their conflictive nature. Therefore, this process should leave the door open to a continuous re-adjustment of both the list of concerns and the priorities over them. In conclusion, the quality check over SDGs policies should be used to repoliticise their discussion.
