Dear colleagues,

A quick reminder that on June 16-17, at EPFL (Switzerland) and online, we will organize a two-day workshop on Sustaining Knowledge and its Infrastructure: Digital Knowledge Infrastructures at the Crossroads of Governance Practices.

Keynotes by

Dominique Pestre (EHESS) on Eight Theses about Physics Infrastructures after WWII.

Christine L. Borgman (UCLA) on Research Data Infrastructure: A Problem of Governance.

Roundtables on

Legitimacy (Chair: Jessica Pidoux): how infrastructures interact with their ecosystem and make the case for their usefulness, to justify the investment they require.

With:

• Chérifa Boukacem (Université Claude Bernard, Lyon)
• Dominique Boullier (COESO, Sciences Po)
• Maud Ehrmann (Impresso, EPFL)

Maintenance (Chair: Marianna Fenzi): on the endless curation work necessary to hold together in tension the heterogeneous elements of infrastructures, and adapt them to internal and external conditions.

With:

• Suzanne Dumouchel (Huma-num, CNRS)
• Maciej Maryl (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw)
• Charlotte Mazel-Cabasse (Unil, EPFL)

Governance (Chair: Jérôme Baudry): on the design and critique of power structures for the sustainability of infrastructures.

With:

• Janneke Adema (Coventry University)
• Vanessa Proudman (SPARC Europe)
• Stéphane Van Damme (ENS Paris)
