RESUME / SUMMARYThe labeEx SMS brings together researchers from five Research Units of the University of Toulouse le Mirail specialized in sociology, history, geography and anthropology and other teams or researchers from Toulouse specialized in political science and economics, informatics and information and communication. The total number of researchers involved is 379.

A project to renew and converge Human and Social SciencesThe objective of LabeEx SMS is to build a new vision of social worlds based on the originality arising from the project researchers experience in the analysis of social networks, an experience which makes the Toulouse site unique in the French and European Human and Social Sciences context. It is impossible to understand social networks or for them to account for the complexity of social phenomena in isolation from other dimensions of these social worlds, including the material devices that underlie everyday social activity, forms of regulation (standards, rules and norms) that provide the framework for the same activity and the territories in which it unfolds. The Toulouse site has the advantage of including a group of researchers who have not only mastered the most up to date approaches to these different dimensions of the social world, but who have been working for several years to make them converge around methodological seminars and workshops. This broad range of competencies justifies the projects ambition.

EducationLabeEx SMS aims to establish cross-disciplinary modules across different Masters offered by the departments and supporting research units. For First Degree courses, SMS will provide the intellectual basis for developing new interdisciplinary courses to train students on the approaches and the most advanced knowledge about the social world.

Social DemandWe will set up a unit to interface with this social demand, made up of researchers and support staff provided by institutions to respond in a coordinated manner when necessary, through expert studies, debates or initiating in-depth research projects.

GovernanceSMS, like all laboratories of excellence, is a long-term project, which involves a system of organization that is independent of the people who initially developed it. This organization is based on four ruling bodies: - A Board of Directors whose members are the head of LabEx and representatives of research units involved in the project, PACS, research vice-presidents representing the institutions concerned and 3 representatives of civil society. It appoints the members of the

4/52



steering committee, who are proposed by the head of LabEx and also appoints the latter. It appoints members of the Scientific Council on the recommendation of the Steering Committee. It assesses the organizational functioning of LabEx on an annual basis, supported by the expert opinion of the Scientific Council. The Board shall ensure the consistency of LabEx activities with the orientations of the laboratories and institutions, and monitor the ripple effects on the whole of the local scientific community. - A Steering Committee, proposed by the head of Labex and reappointed every two years. It is made up of the main leaders of research and seminar activities. It determines the allocation of allowances, in consultation with the laboratory directors and with the graduate schools (to which applicants files are submitted) for theses and with the directors of laboratories for postdoctoral grants. It selects the research operations to be initiated and manages them from day to day. - A General Meeting of permanent and non-permanent researchers involved in the project meets once a year. It advises on the direction to be taken by laboratory research. A Scientific Council, made up of six international experts on the themes of the project (social networks, systems, regulation, territories). The Scientific Council assesses the activity of Labex every two years (theses launched, research operations, seminars). It ensures the proper integration of LabEx activities into the dynamic of international scientific activities. The following have already agreed to participate in this committee: Tom Snijders, University of Groningen and Oxford; Andr Petitat, professor at the University of Lausanne and President of the International Association of French Language Sociologists; Marc-Henry Soulet, professor at the University of Fribourg and editor of the journal "SociologieS"; Didier Wranken, professor at the University of Liege and vice president of the International Association of French Language Sociologists; Vladimir Kolosov, Professor and Director of the Centre for Geopolitical Studies and Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences and vice-president of the International Geographical Union and Sebastian Lentz, Professor, Director of the Leibniz-Institut fr Lnderkunde, Leipzig, Jacques Revel, historian, Research Director emeritus of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Richard L. Kagan, historian, professor at University Johns Hopkins, Jean-Benot Zimmermann, economist, Research Director at CNRS, director of the GREQAM Laboratory.

Use of fundsLabex will support young researchers, hence the emphasis on thesis grants and postdoctorate grants. Il will support courses, ambitious research operations, emerging projects and methodology workshops. We also regularly invite foreign lecturers for short stays. We will also support short stays abroad by researchers involved in the project. We will actively support the translation into various languages of works created within the scope of SMS in order to promote them internationally.

1. DESCRIPTION SCIENTIFIQUE ET TECHNIQUE DU PROJET / TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

1.1. DESCRIPTION DU PROGRAMME, AMBITION, PERTINENCE ET STRATEGIE SCIENTIFIQUE/ PROGRAM DESCRIPTION, VISION, AMBITION AND SCIENTIFICSTRATEGY

A project to renew and converge Human and Social SciencesThe objective of LabeEx SMS is to build a new vision of social worlds based on the originality arising from the project researchers experience in the analysis of social networks, an experience which makes the Toulouse site unique in the French and European Human and Social Sciences context. It is impossible to understand social networks or for them to account for the complexity of social phenomena in isolation from other dimensions of these social worlds, including the material devices that underlie everyday social activity, forms of regulation (standards, rules and norms) that provide the framework for the same activity and the territories in which it unfolds. The Toulouse site has the advantage of including a group of researchers who have not only mastered the most up to date approaches to these different dimensions of the social world, but who have been working for several years to make them converge around methodological seminars and workshops. This broad range of competencies justifies the projects ambition.

The Local and National ContextThe first invitation to tender approved a Toulouse-based project (AIST), and a superficial reading of it might suggest that the research topics are close to those discussed by SMS. It is therefore immediately necessary to explain what makes SMS a very different (and complementary) programme. The AIST objective is to apply the conceptualizations and mathematical models developed to account for economic activity from assumptions about individual behaviour, themselves modelled on the assumptions of the theory of rational choice, to all social phenomena. The LabeEx SMS is grounded in a group of human and social sciences (history, sociology, anthropology, human geography, anthropology, social psychology, economics), which state that social phenomena are influenced by historical processes and lead to the emergence of forms that may not be reduced to the aggregation or composition of individual actions. The researchers working together on the SMS project are making the construction of empirical data on social phenomena their priority focus. SMS is similar, in its epistemological positioning, to several existing human and social sciences projects in France, such as the "Intelligence of Urban Worlds" project or the "Science, Innovation and Technology in Society" Project. Its particularity lies in its more fundamental theme and the fact that it builds on the contribution of research into social networks.

An Interdisciplinary Project which includes Education ... This momentum towards a form of internal multidisciplinary social science also aims to stimulate major changes in education, which currently suffers from its inherited historical disciplinary boundaries and is no longer as relevant to the needs of students as it has been in former times. The LabeEx SMS offers to lay the intellectual foundations defining the scope of science and social science in which the theories and methods are well identified and interrelated. This would enable students and researchers to master the basics of several disciplines on the basis of clear reference points on the common concepts underpinning them. LabeEx SMS aims to establish cross-disciplinary modules across different Masters offered by the departments and supporting research units. They will focus, in particular, on the methods and crossdisciplinary theoretical and epistemological issues addressed in the project. These modules will be available to Masters students as an option in the current five-year contract (2011-2016), but it will be possible to integrate them more directly into models of the masters of the next contract or even, in some cases, during the current contract (2014). For First Degree courses, SMS will provide the intellectual basis for developing new interdisciplinary courses to train students on the approaches and the most advanced knowledge about the social world. These First Degree courses will be drawn up in the forthcoming five-year contract. ... And linked to Social Demand The issue of multidisciplinarity is also evident in relation to the different forms of social demand that are constantly being made on human and social science researchers, ranging from demands from journalists looking for insight into complex phenomena to those made by public institutions of all types urgently seeking explanations and including citizens who rely on the expertise of researchers for the intellectual ammunition required to challenge different public authorities. The disciplines are finding it increasingly difficult to cope separately with this steadily rising demand. Therefore, SMS, in connection with the department in charge of promoting research at the University of Toulouse Mirail, will set up a unit to interface with this social demand, made up of researchers and support staff provided by institutions to respond in a coordinated manner when necessary, through expert studies, debates or initiating in-depth research projects. This units tasks will also include feedback to researchers on emerging topics and social issues. Furthermore, in regard to information and communication technologies, areas subject to numerous requests, a Laboratory of Usages will be set up to organize online interaction between researchers and their counterparts (see below). Achieving Excellence through the Dynamic of Collective Endeavour and Relevant Results Although they are concerned about the visibility of their work, researchers involved in LabeEx SMS are primarily focussing on the overall quality of the research produced and their ability to produce results whose relevance must be strengthened over time as it is put to the test of scientific debate. The SMS concept does indeed benefit from the experience of some of

7/52



us in sociology and the history of science. The well-known phenomena of concentration on a small proportion of published authors and scientific visibility, usually referred to as the "Lotka Law,"1 are based on double dipping, a classic phenomenon within the social world. We believe that the most quoted researchers are the most visible part of vast collective work by the entire scientific community. If we separated this "elite" from its "base", it would die out very quickly. We therefore believe that excellence is not the hallmark of an elite group of researchers more well-known than their colleagues, but rather the overall quality of research carried out by a site, region or country. This is why LabeEx SMS does not include researchers selected solely on the basis of their scientific visibility, but rather those who will join forces around the issues that the project aims to develop. The list of participants is not closed but is instead intended to include all those who unite their efforts with those of the projects initiators.

The Decision to carry out Empirical Research and mobilize Teachers and ResearchersWe are relying on the fact that Labex will become increasingly productive first and foremost by supporting young researchers, hence the emphasis on thesis grants (4 per year, 20 launched during the first 5 years) and post-doctorate grants (3 per year, or 15 during the first 5 years), and secondly by intensifying research by teacher-researchers, hence the presence of a line used to support courses, and thirdly by developing empirical research, resulting in the projects ambitious research operations, the funding of emerging projects and methodology workshops (500 000 euros per year are allocated to these operations). We also regularly invite foreign lecturers for short stays (1 week to 1 month). Invitations for longer periods rely on existing systems (visiting professors from universities, chairs of excellence in the region and hosting foreign researchers at the CNRS). We will also support short stays abroad by researchers involved in the project. We will actively support the translation into various languages of works created within the scope of SMS in order to promote them internationally.

Promotion through NetworkingAs there are existing invitation systems for prestigious chairs in the Midi-Pyrenees (Regional Council - Pierre de Fermat Chairs), we decided to focus on mechanisms to promote the arrival of young researchers (thesis and post-doctorate research grants will be widely open to non-local researchers) and short stays (1 week to 3 months) for foreign researchers in institutions involved in the project or researchers from SMS in foreign institutions. Our major objective is to increase as much as possible, the integration of project researchers into international networks. Every two years SMS days will be held to report on areas of progress in the project, involving the academic community, partners and the public.

A Driving ForceThe LabeEx SMS is designed to maximize its inherent driving force. Although a group of researchers specifically involved in its development and implementation lead it, it is designed

9/52



to include researchers from the units working within the project and making a significant contribution to the research undertaken. The Board of Directors, made up mainly of research unit heads and vice-presidents of research departments from the institutions in question, plays a central role in making this grounding a tangible reality. Its specific role is to ensure that SMS is a tool to drive research programmes as a whole in the areas of humanities and social sciences on the site. 1.2. PRESENTATION SCIENTIFIQUE DU PROJET DE RECHERCHE/ SCIENTIFICDESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT

The Foundational Structures of Social Worlds: a key issue for Human and Social SciencesThe idea that the social world is something other, and much more than, a collection of individuals has been a founding principle for the human and social sciences since their emergence in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. On this basis, they have been structured over time into distinct disciplines (history, geography, economics, sociology, anthropology, social psychology, political science, etc.) and numerous theories have been formulated in an attempt to describe what different eras and currents of thought have labelled "societies", "social systems", "social structures", "social forms" or the "social area" (this list is far from exhaustive). It gradually became clear that attempts to box in the complex forms that emerge from social activities, and that in turn provide constraints for them, in descriptions or theories that were too global (White, 2008), were unsatisfactory, and that a better solution would be to address this complexity using various ways of identifying more limited aspects, which might then be connected to each other. The conservative term "social worlds" (Becker, 1982), which does not postulate the existence of an overall logic uniting social activities, expresses our desire to address this problem, which is also the challenge of a truly multidisciplinary approach. The development of research during the past century has also shown the need to develop methods appropriate to the specific nature of social phenomena and the historical traces that they leave, since they are less amenable than material substances to being trapped in mathematical equations and laboratory experiments (Abbott, 2002). Specific Characteristics of the Human and Social Sciences The human social sciences do have specific characteristics linked 1) to those of the object of their research, who are thinking beings able to apply scientific pronouncements to themselves and change their behaviour accordingly, 2) to the proximity of some researchers to the objects of their research, which logically and understandably enables them to use special means of research such as immersion or empathy, 3) to the special relationship they have with politics (broadly defined), 4) to the specific forms of determinism and predictability that they are able to implement. In particular, if social phenomena display regularities that our sciences aim to highlight, these may not be considered to be as absolute as the laws of physics, which apply to all aspects of the universe, making accurate predictions possible. This indicates that it

10/52



necessary to constantly observe social activities, using means specific to social sciences (the study of historical records and archives, observation, interviews and questionnaires) and to continually refine these tools in their different space-time contexts. It is helpful to use mathematics as an analytical tool and not to build predictive models on assumptions that are not sufficiently solid. One of the SMS goals is to develop a mode of cooperation that is adapted to the specificities of humanities and the social sciences, working with mathematicians and computer scientists.

cross-cutting

The accumulation over more than a century of empirical observations and methodological and theoretical developments led to the gradual emergence of solid, proven, but partial knowledge. Within this context, the researchers involved in LabEx SMS acquired solid expertise and significant visibility in four complementary approaches to social phenomena. The relationship networks between individuals or groups are a fundamental structure of society and interact continuously with the material devices and the rules or standards on the basis of which this interaction and coordination takes place. These three aspects of social life are the basis for structuring the social worlds, making it possible to go beyond individual actors and interactions to more complex and extensive social forms, which can be seen as configurations linking these three types. In this way we are able to move beyond "handy" local circles to very large networks through which information and influence flow, from everyday objects to the economic and political worlds in which they are rooted, from local rules governing organizations to universal laws and principles. Territories are crystallizations rooted in these configurations, and may equally be at neighbourhood, nation or world region level. Networks Although mathematical tools used for network analysis (graph theory, combinatorics, etc.) may apply to sets of interactions or texts, the notion of a social network generally involves the definition of a dyadic relationship that emerges from repeated interactions between two people. Such a relationship is expressed through mutual understanding and commitment, which are more durable than simple interactions, for which they also provide the framework. Each of these relationships is connected to other relationships, and together they form a network connecting each individual or, more generally, each social entity, to the social world as a whole. A network is not a social group or organization: members do not actually need to be conscious that they are part of it. A network has no memory or organizer. It is simply a set of social relationships between individuals or between communities / organizations. Studies of social networks based on this concept currently represent a major international development and "social network analysis" is a well-established field with its own manuals (Degenne and Fors, 2004), seminars and a growing community of specialists.

11/52



The concentration in Toulouse of a relatively large number, at European level, of social network analysis specialists in sociology, history, economics, mathematics and computing led in 2009 to the creation of an interdisciplinary think tank on this topic. There are currently about 70 people in this group, but it continues to attract new teams and new projects. We have developed innovatory approaches and methods in several areas: 1) the formalization of social relationships on data and in distinct historical contexts (Bertrand, 2002; Bonnet, Krings, and Valenti, 2011; Hautefeuille and Jouve, 2010); 2) the application of social network analysis to research on the dynamics of economic clusters (Vicente, Balland, Brossard, 2010; Gay, 2008) or analysis of the effects of the fact that economic activity is embedded in interpersonal relationship networks (Grossetti, 2008; Grossetti and Barthe, 2008; Grossetti and Bes, 2001), 3) dynamic analysis of personal networks (Federio, 2007, 2008; Grossetti, 2007), 4) combined methods blending interviews, narrative construction and quantification. (Grossetti, Barthe, Chauvac, 2011; Milard, 2010), 5) multi-agent simulation adapted to social network analysis (Cazabet, Blanchard, Hanachi, 2010). As part of LabeEx SMS, social networking specialists will engage in several foundational empirical operations: "ICT and networks", "Migration and networks", "Transformations of Production Spheres", "Transformation of aging processes," "Political speeches and practices. " These operations are all interrelated empirical and theoretical projects involving constant dialogue, particularly through shared methodological workshops. Regulation The notion of regulation is based on the idea that social activities permanently produce rules and standards that, in return, provide a framework for these activities. These rules and standards may be informal rules created in social groups or work teams, formal hierarchies, laws and other legal systems. The suggested research into regulation explores a contradiction. On the one hand, the political framework created by governments in France and Europe is a basic factor both in terms of the behaviour that it drives and, equally, the individual and collective resistance that it causes. As a result, the creation of this framework is increasingly subject to negotiation and gives rise to tension between collective stakeholders and individuals involved in production of the organisation. Hence the research programme on "The Work of Organization", which aims to deepen study of the forms of social regulation that develop in a context where organizations are precarious and institutions vulnerable (De Terssac, 2003 and 2011). This approach, adopted by the institutions, also involves focussing on both the source of their strength (rights, beliefs, bureaucratic support) and on transforming factors (denationalization and questioning of their legitimacy, etc.). The work of researchers associated with SMS on administrative staff, risks or the Europeanization of public policy are part of this approach. From the opposite point of view, the individualisation of public policy means that the individual becomes an accountant in a society characterized by the building standards with which he is explicitly associated. This tendency to add self-regulation to authoritarian and bureaucratic regulation, giving individuals more autonomy of action and decision, is leading

12/52



to the increasing participation of collective action in regulatory processes from the bottom up. Hence research studies questioning public policy from this perspective, taking into account the practical reality of the legal and socio-political conditions in which policies are received by lay people (Thoemmes, 2010; Fromentin, Wojcik, 2008; Zelem, 2010 a), programmes are implemented in the relevant territories (Pasquier, Simoulin, Weisbein, 2007), particularly where standards promoted by the EU are concerned (Pasquier, Weisbein, 2004; Baisne, Pasquier, 2007; Raimbault, 2006). Work in the fields of water management, agri-environment (Salles, 2006; Busca, 2010) or the control of energy demand (Zelem 2010 b), and education, or the regulation of relationships between gendered social groups, is confronted by the issue of evaluating the effectiveness of these regulatory processes. The management systems pertaining to environmental standards and certain crises such as oil spills (Itaina, Weisbein, 2011), public policies on food (Poulain, 2009) or education (ANR is currently being directed by P. Raimbault and V. Larrosa) and environmentalism are, amongst others, new forms of regulation developing on the fringes or intersections of traditional institutional regulations. Meanwhile, changes with administrative implications in France, in relation to both staff and to the procedures for carrying out their duties (Eymeri, Dreyfus, 2006; Eymeri Douzan-Pierre, 2010, Tanguy, 2010) would seem to imply a public authority that is more complex, more open to the social environment and even more diverse than has previously been the case. These scientific objectives will be present in all the operations proposed in the context of SMS. This will be even more the case with regard to operations under 3 (structuring the scientific world), 5 (new forms of aging) and 6 (historical analyses of social networks in their relationships with power structures). The approaches via networks, territories, systems, objects and regulations do, in fact, appear here as complementary, since it is a combination of these approaches that makes it possible to capture social reality and to analyse it. Devices Driven by the sociology of science and technology in particular, humanities and the social sciences have, in recent decades, increasingly referred to material devices that equip and provide the framework for social activity, and which are the object of the third approach. Researchers involved in the project have acquired particularly strong expertise on the subject of commercial mediation, on the objects that provide the framework for economic transactions (packaging, advertising material and the material organization of trade), as well as the extension of principles of commercial mediation to organisations (customer-supplier relationships, quality certification, risk management...) and their equipment through various techniques and technical systems - focus on quality, risk management, supplier development, ERP (enterprise resource planning ) and workflow, EDM (electronic document management), shared databases and the interoperability of software and artefacts ... Very early on they also developed research into electronic communication and its practices. Work on the sociology of technology introduced in the 80's by B. Latour, Callon, M. and J. Akrich Law has made it possible to reintroduce technical objects as intrinsic and closely

13/52



related participants in social interactions, both acted upon and acting in interpersonal or interorganizational practices and relationships. In addition to this, one of the fundamental characteristics of contemporary societies is the development of "expert systems" which participate in the process of relocation / transfer on which economic globalization and trade are largely based (Giddens, 1994). The mobilization of this type of expert systems requires the establishment of "sufficient" trust in the "validity of abstract systems" (ibid. p 41) which human or nonhuman2 "access points" make present and acceptable. Simondon, identifying what he calls "the broad species of technical realities," also paved the way for the current questioning of devices by considering how machines take the form of technical networks in which "the continuity between the production centre and points of use is maintained through space and time "(2005, p 100). He invites us to question how "by growing to network dimensions, the technical reality turns back towards the centre in its later development stages, changing and giving it structure (or rather, texture), taking into account its general lines" (ibid. p101). The agentivity of material devices must be examined within this overall development process, as both a constituting factor and constituent part of the process of structuring social worlds. At the same time it is appropriate to study the specific configurations, in which these material devices equip and provide a framework for social activity, and of which this activity shapes the equipment. Such examination implies moving beyond the traditional divide, based on an essentialist understanding of technology, between design activities, which are considered to be the sole responsibility of engineering, computing or design, and humanities and the social sciences (Feenberg, 2004). Joint studies between researchers who share this approach and researchers from the above-mentioned areas of research are an important foundation from this perspective, which involves the examination of the devices as interactive processes of design, deployment, and use. On a broader scale, close collaboration both nationally and internationally3 has resulted in a research dynamic that is both locally rooted and firmly anchored in the progress made in research within the various disciplines involved. As part of LabeEx SMS, device specialists will be involved in several structuring operations, including: "ICT and networks", "technical artefacts" and "transformation of the productive worlds." Territories The fourth approach, focusing on the territories, is the result of the specific nature of Toulouse-based research in Human Geography and Planning, which developed on the basis of close dialogue with sociology and economics. The notion of territory makes it possible to address spatial phenomena by highlighting the fact they are intertwined with social and political activities (Jaillet, 2009). The Toulouse metropolitan area and its surrounding region have long been a laboratory for studying socio-urban processes. The specific features and the economic success of Toulouse have given rise to the development of expertise in the area ofOnboard staff who welcome passengers onto a plane with different packaging displaying the origin of products sold... 3 Further details are given within the structuring operations described for this approach.2

local industrial systems based on innovation, including the identification of emerging economic clusters that are no longer based on product specialization, but rather on the concentration of a type of technical competence (Grossetti, Zuliani, Guillaume, 2006). Over the past decade, Toulouse-based researchers have worked in lands around the world (Pliez, 2003, for example), and developed particularly innovatory research on mobility and migration, a topic on which they enjoy international recognition, particularly through the notion of "circulatory territory" developed by Alain Tarrius (2002) and work on the most contemporary economic movements (Pliez. 2010). SMS researchers have developed significant expertise in methods of spatial analysis from large location based databases.

Research OperationsThe following is a list and summary presentation of research operations to be initiated during the first two years, either as a structuring operation implemented from the first year onwards or as a preliminary definition of operations to be further elaborated at a later date. More detailed versions figure in the project annexes. Operation 1: "ICT and social networks: the development of personal networks and relational practices connected with the development of communication devices" (moderators: Michel Grossetti, Emmanuel Eveno) Are bonds created "online" any different from the "ordinary" bonds analysed up to now by research into social networks? Does the existence of electronic means of communication affect the size and structure of personal networks? Does it influence the type of relationship (more bonds between people with strong social similarities, for example)? Their distribution in space? Or labour relations? To answer these questions, this research project uses: 1. Quantitative or mixed surveys for the purposes of comparison with previous surveys, 2. Observational surveys and interviews on specific populations, 3. Analysis of electronic evidence: screenshots, data from the web, including social networking devises used in a home or office environment. Operation 2: "Migration and Networks" (Moderators: Olivier Bend, Chantal BordesBenayoun, Alain Tarrius) This is an empirical and methodological research exchange platform at the intersection between research into migration and networks. It will harmonize the research conducted in different parts of the world (Algeria, Brazil, China, France, Senegal) in order to establish how the network of market places, which usually emerge informally, fits into urban areas, where their role is growing. How may their territorial dimensions, their local or regional economic influence may be measured and mapped? Are not models for transnational markets emerging? They tend to become prominent issues for urban authorities that lead governments and stakeholders in the economic sphere to build a new image of cities, since it is no longer possible to plan them without taking the effects of globalization into consideration.

Operation 3: "Structuring the Scientific World" (moderators: Denis Eckert, Michel Grossetti, Corinne Bonnet) The scientific world is a sphere of activity in which many of the approaches developed by SMS researchers may be tested. The historical part of the operation will be based on historical data on scholars and antiques collectors between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries and Ancient History scholars of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. For more contemporary analysis, the project will mobilize bibliometric sources, an area in which project researchers have excellent experience, combined with field studies on citation practices. The common goal is to understand the dynamics of the interaction between network structures and scientific content. Using the same data sources, SMS researchers are engaged, with other teams, in developing the geography of scientific activity. This involves studying the current spatial logic of scientific activity at local level (cities, regions) and national and international level, linking it to a historical analysis of the construction of scientific institutions and their spatial deployment during the last two centuries. Operation 4: "Transformation of the Productive Worlds" (moderators: Pierre Triboulet / Daniele Galliano / Jean-Marc Olivier / Jean-Marc Zuliani / Jrme Vicente / Olivier Brossard / Joaquim Haas) The Transformation of the Productive Worlds" operation aims to combine the skills of economists, geographers, sociologists and historians in order to deepen understanding of the interaction and structuring mechanisms within the networks and groups that govern innovation dynamics. A first operation will be launched, involving the acquisition and analysis of a database compiled from 1986 to the present day from European programmes on mobile phones. The second operation will focus on the analysis of science-industry collaborations in relation to cluster policy. A third operation will examine the influence of social networks and the spatial environment on the innovation processes of firms, with particular emphasis on agro-food firms. Finally, two other operations will look at the development of databases and network analysis in the aerospace industry. Operation 5: "New Forms of Aging" (Moderators: Monique Membrado, Alice Rouyer) The sociology of "old age" analyses aging as a process and as a series of both biographical and relational transitions which take place throughout and give meaning to later life. It particularly highlights their lack of linearity and their heterogeneity. We know, for example, that, while life expectancy without disability is increasing in the higher age brackets, social and gender inequalities continue to exist. These transitions and situations will be analysed using longitudinal studies. Our proposal involves following two groups of older people, one aged from 60 to 65, the other from 75-85. Comparisons will be made on several issues - health, social network (including the family network), activities, residential practices, relationships with healthcare systems, etc. for the same group of 65 year olds (men and women) at the time of the survey, monitored over a period of five or 10 years (sample, internet access...).

Operation 6: "Historical Analysis of the Relationship between Social Networks and Power Structures" (moderators: Michel Bertrand and Florent Hautefeuille) This operation will harmonize analysis of social networks in historical situations during the medieval period and the modern period. The problem of the social network dynamic is at the heart of studies of the peasant world during the late Middle Ages, a period of intense economic, social and demographic upheaval. Over and above the individual, how does the network structure continue to exist, when, for example, a population undergoes 2 / 3 renewal through mortality or migration? What changes did the disappearance of serfdom bring about to the overall organization of society? Similarly, what is the basis for the exercise of power in the societies in question, still under the Ancien Regime, namely those in the Western Mediterranean world? Is there any specific Mediterranean characteristic or issue on which the establishment and legitimization of the exercise of power is based? This raises the issue of vehicles for the exercise of the power. Is being in a position to exercise power all that is required in order to exercise it effectively? In other words, complete understanding of the ways in which power may be exercised may not be achieved by examining the titles, honours and responsibilities obtained by those who exercise it. It must therefore include consideration of individual human relationships, all of which are channels through which all exchanges associated with the exercise of power flow. Although the consideration of family and / or lineage relationships is required for this reconstruction, it is not sufficient in itself. Other types of relationships not necessarily subject to sacred rites (as are family ties through the sacrament of marriage), must be taken into consideration, be this friendship, patronage, or even sweetheart agreements. Operation 7: "Networks and Social Worlds in Low Density Areas" (moderators: Bernard Charlery, Danielle Galliano) (an emerging project) How are the social worlds structured, recomposed and developed in rural areas, especially low density areas? The idea here is to analyse the structure, diversity and development of social networks in rural areas and to identify how knowledge and expertise circulates in these areas, to demonstrate the role of town / country interactions and the growth of relationships with urban worlds as the boundaries between these areas are reset. The work to be carried out will, in particular, involve the analysis of sources of innovation in rural industrial firms, network operation and development in rural and suburban agricultural areas (especially in relation to the concentration of farms and the reconfiguration of the agricultural production worlds in the areas), conflicts, arrangements and systems linked to the management of natural resources, interaction dynamics between urban and rural environments and the growing interpenetration of these areas, leading to restructuring of territories and their environment. Particular attention will be given to the analysis of mobilities and the construction of resource systems and solidarity networks interconnecting the rural and urban worlds. The implementation of the theoretical and methodological frameworks of SMS (surveys on social networks and the use of ICT in rural areas, for example) will pave the way for renewed analysis of these areas.

Methodology WorkshopsThe methodology workshops are designed to develop crosscutting methods appropriate for use by human and social science researchers. They take the form of seminars based on mutual exchange of experiences and training modules. Four workshops will be set up at the beginning of the operation. They are summarized here and a more comprehensive presentation is given in the Annexes. Workshop 1: "Textual Analysis" (moderators: Pascal Marchand, Pierre Ratinaud and Elisabeth Perroux) The development of electronic communication has produced an increasingly large body of texts, including those associated with public debate. Analysis of these texts is feasible only if suitable lexical measurement tools are available. The "textual analysis" workshop has three objectives: 1. to develop original software interacting with the numerous needs of SMS researchers, 2. to train SMS researchers and students in textual analysis techniques and 3. to organize thinking about textual analysis methods and their uses. Workshop 2: Ethnography of Socio-Technical Associations (moderators: Frank Cochoy and Anne Mayre) "How may we understand the complex arrangements between social and technical systems, on which the dynamics of organizational configurations and market now depend?" Our objective is to answer this question, and, from this perspective, to develop a methodological framework and a technical platform: "Archaeology of the Present "and "Quantitative Ethnography" , with the aim of building up a crosscutting approach and methodology. We hope that the latter will lead to: a) the constitution of a distinctive and innovative contribution from Toulouse to Social Science Research, b) the unifying of various research programmes between the laboratories mobilized by the LabEx SMS. Workshop 3: "Network Analysis" (moderators: Michel Grossetti, Corinne Bonnet, Ainhoa de Federico, Frdric Amblard) This workshop will discuss and give training on traditional approaches to social network analysis (personal networks, complete networks), based on the most up-to-date models and software (Pajek, SIENA) on the one hand and, on the other hand, on the innovative approaches specifically developed by the project researchers: mixed methods used to analyse the chain of relationships mobilized (Grossetti, Barthe, Chauvac, 2011), methods used in the analysis of scientific networks based on interviews on the citations ( Milard, 2011) and multiagent models applied to social network analysis (Cazabet, Amblard, Hanachi, 2010). Workshop 4: "Electronic records as a source for SHS" (moderators: Johann Chaulet, Caroline Datchary)

Among the factors with a strong bearing on the structuring of the social worlds, the Internet and the Web play a leading role. They are, indeed, at the root of many of the changes that sometimes create an upheaval in our ways of living together. These new resources do affect social relationships and they also have a significant effect on the work of those who strive to understand and analyse them. Theoretical and methodological reflection is therefore needed on the question of how the web can and should be used as part of social science research. This workshop intends to address both the documentary dimensions of the Web as a resource centre where knowledge is made available, and the Web as a place where all or part of the body of research concerned may be constituted.

Interfacing with Social DemandSMS, in conjunction with the University of Toulouse le Mirail Research Development Department, will set up a joint unit to interface with social demand, consisting of researchers and support staff provided by institutions, in order to respond in a coordinated manner when required, through expert studies, the organization of debates or initiation of in-depth research. This unit will also feed back to researchers on emerging social problems. It will also organize thinking about the ethical aspects of research and studies on the social worlds. Furthermore, with regard to information technology and communications, for which there are numerous requests, a "Laboratory of Usage" will be created as a focal point for research and reflection on new forms of social exchange based on ICT. It will involve researchers from SMS, contractors and designers of communication devices. This will make it possible, for example, to track users and to reconstruct "usage careers" likely to reveal processes for which a single search is insufficient. The usage laboratory will also be a place for reflection and for developing complementary, innovative methods of investigation (qualitative and quantitative surveys, experiments, laboratories, computer surveys, collection of evidence...). It will therefore operate in close harmony with the methodological workshop focussing on Web analysis methods. Experimental devices will be installed in appropriate places for the uses and situations to be analysed and tools may be developed to meet specific research needs (software programming, creation of capture systems, facilities...). The experience of the project leaders also puts them at the crossroads between numerous teams specialized in these areas in France and abroad. Joint operations therefore exist and may be strengthened, with, amongst others, teams from Orange Labs, Telecom ParisTech, the Nice Joint Laboratory of Usage, the Troyes University of Technology and the Universities of Barcelona and of Columbia, into which some have been integrated, which has meant that they have been able to develop knowledge and joint projects that are still in operation. 1.3.

1. LISST : LABORATOIRE INTERDISCIPLINAIRE SOLIDARITS, SOCITS, TERRITOIRES (UMR 5193) INTERDISCIPLINARY LABORATORY ON SOLIDARITY, CORPORATIONS AND TERRITORIES The LISST is a Joint Research Unit established on 1 January 2007 from the merger of several teams and combines sociologists and anthropologists who are urban specialists. It is headed by Denis Eckert, with Deputy Directors Guillaume Rozenberg, Olivier Pliez and Franois Sicot. Its members are interested in solidarity (whether this takes the form of spontaneous arrangements or of systems established by public policy), societies (globalization and / or the fragmentation of social worlds and production of inequalities) and territories. The areas researched are present on all continents, from Asia to Europe, including the Americas. The unit includes 85 permanent members, including 20 CNRS researchers, 48 teacherresearchers and more than 110 PhD students. 17 members of the unit are responsible for providing technical, scientific and administrative support. The LISST consists of three teams: the Centre for Social Anthropology (Ethnology), the Centre for the Study of Rationality and Knowledge (Sociology), the Interdisciplinary Centre for Urban Studies (Geography), which are heavily involved in basic and applied research. Its members contribute to the teachings of 7 basic or professionally oriented masters in the areas of planning, urban development, sociology and social anthropology (University of Toulouse le Mirail-2, EHESS, Toulouse-3, Albi). The LISST provides teaching for PhD courses leading to three Doctorates ("Urban and Regional Studies," "Anthropology" and "Sociology") at the University of Toulouse-2 and the PhD. in anthropology at the EHESS. The six interdisciplinary areas of LISST research have the capability to participate in the work and contribute to the achievement of the specific SMS objectives. 1. Knowledge and Innovation: Networks, Mediations and Territories: Social networks, artistic creation and economic development based on innovation, the territorial analysis of science, knowledge of nature, knowledge acquisition and ICT. 2. Religion, Memory and Group Construction: Memories, memories of violence, new rituals, heritage, identity and ethnicity. 3. Life Paths and Living Spaces: Habitat, housing, intergenerational issues, moving towards adulthood, solidarity, neighbourhood/district issues, suburban lifestyles, social networks, family and aging. 4. Healthcare Experiences and Systems: Health and work, chronic illness, disability, addictions, care relationships and vulnerability. 5. Migration, Diasporas, Exchanges and Ethnicization: Migration, population movements, diasporas and "Globalization from the bottom up". 6. Towns, Cities and Regional Reconstructions: Governance, urban segregation, urban systems, economic activities, travel, digital territories and sustainable urban development.

2. FRAMESPA FRANCE MRIDIONALE ET ESPAGNE : HISTOIRE DES SOCITS DU MOYEN AGE L'POQUE CONTEMPORAINE (FRAMESPA) UMR 5136 SOUTHERN FRANCE AND SPAIN: SOCIAL HISTORY FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO THE PRESENT DAY (FRAMESPA) Director: Jean-Marc Olivier, Scientific and Technical Manager for Labex: Michel Bertrand. Aeres 2009: A + The "Southern France and Spain: Social History from the Middle Ages to the Present Day" (Framespa) UMR, created in 1995 and reorganized in 2002, focuses on the long-term study of European societies. It seeks to grasp dynamics and crises involved, using diverse sources and methods and often borrowing concepts from historys sister disciplines such as archaeology, sociology, economics, geography and anthropology. The chronological range covered is very broad, from the medieval period to the twenty-first century, but it has proven to be very appropriate for the long term social history perspective adopted by most members of the unit, with its changing landscapes, social networks, family structures and types of production, taste, migration and identities ... From a geographical point of view, a strong and southern Iberian tropism remains, with some Latin American extensions. UMR 5136 has 97 researchers and writers of academic publications. This mainly academic unit today includes 5 CNRS and 7 ITA researchers. Four topics clearly stand out as the major thrust of the Unit: 1: The Iberian and Latin American Worlds; 2: Terrae: The Archaeology and History of Southern Medieval Societies; 3: Identities, Cultures and Contacts, 4: Stakeholders, Economies, Societies.

3. Prsentation du CERTOP (Centre dEtude et de Recherche Travail Organisation Pouvoir UMR 5044) Centre for Study and Research Labour Organization Power The CERTOP is led by Vincent Simoulin (PR) and includes 4 CNRS researchers, 46 permanent teacher-researcher members, 16 ITA / BIATOS research assistants, 66 PhD students and 52 teacher-researcher associate members. CERTOP research activities focus on public policy, labour, risk, consumer and market sociology, food and health, training, qualifications and university systems, gender, environment and tourism. The first priority for all of its members, across the board, is to better understand the regulation work operating in our societies by combining the collective and organisational dynamics specific to business logic and individual trajectories and the institutional dynamics specific to public policy and to the functioning of market and societal dynamics. The second priority is to combine a study on the production of social order and processes of maladjustment, stigmatization and resistance and the third is to conduct a methodological reflection on the methods to be implemented to achieve these objectives. Within the CERTOP, the studies are structured around three areas: "Collective Dynamics," "Institutional Dynamics" and "Societal Dynamics." The first includes the SPOT teams (production system and work organization), SAGESSE (Knowledge, Gender and gender relations) and the Toulouse PMT research team (Occupations and the Labour Market) associated with the CEREQ. The SPOT team leads the MADO "Management of Organizations Master, (Hanoi) and has a coordinating role (in partnership with the TAPAS team) within the MAPE (" Management of Public Action and Businesses ") Master. The SAGESSE team runs the GPS ("Gender and Social Policies") Master. The CERTOP runs a documentation centre with a gender sociology fund, which is a flagship project in France and Europe, and has began to interconnect other leading French funds in this area. The second unites the TAPAS (Territories, Public Action, Actors) and TRAME (Techniques, Relations, Actions, Market, Public Area) teams. TAPAS has a coordinating role (in partnership with SPOT) in the MAPE Master, whereas TRAME has a leadership role (in partnership with LISST researchers and other CERTOP teams) in the RES ("Research and Study of the Sociology ") Master. The third area includes research teams TAS (Tourism, Food, Health), PEPS (environmental policy and social practices) and ECORSE (Team, Health, Risk, Communication, Environment). The TAS team coordinates a large number of Master-level courses: "Management Industry Tourism and Hospitality," "Power" and "Tourism and Development" (Foix). Masters are also coordinated by TAS in Malaysia, Poland, Ecuador and Vietnam. The PEPS team runs the Master "Environmental Policy and Social Practice." The ECORSE team manages an "Information-Communication" M2R and a "Risk Communication Health / Environment" Master (M1 and M2 pro and M2R).

4. Dynamiques rurales UMR MA 104 Rural Dynamics The "Rural Dynamics" laboratory brings together teacher-researchers and geographical, economic and sociology researchers working in interdisciplinary mode, to do "rural" research. These teachers are mainly from three institutions working with the laboratory: the University of Toulouse II-Le Mirail (UTM), and especially its Department of Geography, the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse INPT, through the Ecole Nationale Suprieure Agronomique de Toulouse and the ENSAT, Ecole Nationale de Formation AgronomiqueENFA. The team has 28 teacher-researchers including 9 HDR, 3.5 FTE ITA / BIATOSS, 12 associate researchers and 43 PhD students. The laboratory focuses its research on transition and the new rural areas in North and South countries, with the objective of reviewing the relevance of the rural environment and territory for the study of socio-economic dynamics and patterns of spatial organization in North and South societies. Research topics include: 1) The diversity of agricultures, environments and productive territories. The aim is to question the productive role of rural areas and, first and foremost, of agriculture, with relation to the evolution and coexistence of different models of agriculture in the face of market changes, demand and the constraints of sustainable development; 2) Living, eating, and working in rural areas or how to live within the complexity and uncertainty of rural territories. The research aims to analyse how new reference areas are built, how the increased complexity of relationships with the countryside is managed and how new modes of social relationships exist in a plural, dynamic form of movement somewhere inbetween city and countryside. The research also strives to integrate the study of dynamic relationships between men and women and between generations; 3) The renewal (regionalization) of public policy and of rural project territory. The main objective is to identify the construction of rural society through analysis of the production mechanisms of regional public policy, by examining the development logic of public policy frameworks, modes of governance and types of resources. What is the scale and what stakeholder systems are involved in the areas of public intervention appropriate for addressing the problems posed by the rapid transformation of societies and rural areas?

5. PLH (Patrimoine, Littrature, Histoire EA 4153) The aim of PLH research is to analyse the relationship between and methods of associating past and present, using a philology, history and hermeneutics-based approach. The fields of literature and the historical sciences are perceived as areas relating to and involving issues of memory and as spaces of creativity and interaction, on the basis of a crosscutting method using comparisons between disciplines, cultural areas and periods, from antiquity to recent contemporary periods. Three lines of research stand out: drawing up an inventory of cultural heritages and reflecting on the ways in which our societies integrate them; and studying knowledge construction, transmission, translation and transposition phenomena, analysing the relationship of past and contemporary societies with the notion of "heritage" and "memory". In PLH, ERASME is the only team in France to work specifically on how antiquity is received. It explores the various forms of critical dynamic relationship that give the ancient worlds contemporary relevance through the links between past, present and future. In 2005 it was responsible for the creation of the magazine "Anabase. Traditions et Rceptions de lAntiquit." Among its approaches, are "Sharing Knowledge: Historiography, Philosophy and Literature" and "Scientific Networks and the History of Knowledge during the Antiquity period (Fourteenth to Twentieth centuries)" at the crossroads of several disciplines and approaches to literary, historical and social studies. One of its objectives is to identify the process of structuring and dismantling knowledge networks on the basis of their historical and geopolitical contexts. Drawing on tools developed at Stanford University as part of the "Mapping the Republic of Letters" projects, the objective is to map trade and reconstruct knowledge territories. PLH-ERASME has participated in "The literary world" ACI and GDRI, coordinated by C. Jacob (CNRS Paris) and the editorial work "The places of knowledge," 1, "Spaces and communities" (http://lieuxdesavoir.hypotheses.org/lieux-de-savoir-1) has organized several Symposia, Workshops and Seminars on the archaeology of knowledge and academic social networking, is involved in research on academic relationships and coordinated a PPR for the creation of an "IT Portal on Relationships between Nineteenth and Twentieth Century French Antiquity Scholars", in its test phase. PLH has a total of 55 permanent teacher-researcher members, 50 PhD students, 65 teacherresearcher associate members and an administrative manager to support research. Director: Daniel LACROIX Team Directors: Jean-Marc LUCE (ARCT), Jean-Yves Laurichesse (ELH), Corinne Bonnet (Erasmus).

6. LEREPS LEREPS, EA 4212, LABORATORY STUDY AND RESEARCH ON ECONOMIC, POLICY AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS DIRECTOR: Charilaos KEPHALIACOS, PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AT ENFA. Assistant Director: Olivier BROSSARD, Professor of Economics at IEP Toulouse; MED Kechidi, Lecturer HDR A UNIVERSITY Toulouse Le Mirail. EMPLOYEES: 17 13 STANDING WITH HDR, 10 ASSOCIES, 36 doctoral and postDOCTORAL. The host team is LEREPS of UT1 and a collaboration agreement with the ENFA giving it a label by the Ministry of Agriculture ("UMR" LEREPS the Ministry of Agriculture). An agreement is being signed which would institutionalize the attachment side of the team at the IEP, Toulouse, University Toulouse Le Mirail and ENFA, the main connection remaining to the University of Toulouse 1-Capitol. Indeed, the LEREPS favor a multidisciplinary approach and empirical economic issues that led him to establish relationships with these institutions. The unit has two lines of research: Axis 1: Space and territories The first axis is developed in the laboratory since 1980. Research conducted unfold around two themes: a microeconomic issue mainly devoted to work crossing research in economic geography and industrial economics (Axis 1.1), models of local development and questions governance of territories (Axis 1.2). Axis 2. Dynamics of organizations in the financialized knowledge economy Born around the research questions concerning the financial relations and the evolution of ownership structures of groups, LEREPS is expanding its research refocusing in two directions: organizational change and the knowledge economy (Axis 2.1) , the dimensions of the relationship between financial and productive strategies implemented by groups (Axis 2.2).

7. LASSP The Laboratory of Social and Political Science focuses on the one hand to the specific nature of political phenomena, which relate to the processes of government, understood as all activities to maintain or change the social order in one or several political societies, and always have to do, more or less, with the use of methods of coercion and persuasion as legitimate because it is legitimized, and also highlights the interest of a plurality of scientific approaches differentiated policy forms. This is why the LaSSP hosts political scientists, lawyers, historians, sociologists, researchers information science and communication, anthropologists and economists who, while studying political phenomena each according to his own framework analysis, look at them from the same perspective - that, for shorthand, one might say "real" and "from below" (bottom up). Whether studying the political and administrative institutions governing world as concrete or practical to study the reception and uses so-called "ordinary" or "semi-secular" discourse of the political professionals, including European dimension, it's always the economy of concretereal interactional practices social actors which draws the particular interest of researchers in the laboratory. This common perspective is available in two main areas of research: Axis 1: "Governments, administrations and public policy." Research conducted in the axis 1 will continue to study governing institutions, which are in perpetual reconstruction, among them the state, but of course the various "levels of government," taken in configurations and " scale games " ranging from local through the regional and nation-state to the EU. Axis 2: "Media, culture and politics." The research perspectives of axis 2 are available around two research projects. The research program "The transformation of internal economies of journalistic and political fields" will evaluate and theorise the current transformations of journalistic and political fields. This is to initiate a reflection on the transformation on joint and interrelated fields of journalism and national politics. The second program, "socialization, political mobilizations Commitments and Practices" is redeploying around the concept of politicized practice. It is about developing the achievements of political sociology in France which continues to show and prove itself, while integrating critical inputs and some real (albeit confused and mixed) and some work really heuristics of Cultural Studies of Birmingham from which the so-called sociologies of "reception", the Gender Studies, Subaltern Studies became the Post-colonial studies. Once resociologized, these Anglo-American perspectives could indeed usefully enrich the work of mobilization, commitment and trial policies

8. INRA/INP : teams IODA (Innovations, Organisations et Dynamiques agro-industrielles) and MEDIATIONS Ioda and Mdiations are two teams of social sciences in the multidisciplinary UMR (social sciences and biotechnical sciences) AGIR, which includes 65 permanent members and 31 non permanent members. The UMR and the two teams have received Aeres A rating (2001 to 2014 A grading). The scientific objective of the team IODA (economics) is to describe, analyse and model the innovation dynamics of actors in the food industry and their interaction with network and territorial dynamics. The research mobilizes the conceptual frameworks of the knowledge economy and organizational economics in its approach to knowledge creation and dissemination methods within and between organizations as sources of competitiveness. In a context of increasing pressure from markets, the challenge is to improve understanding of how agro-industrial actors are organized to meet the objectives of sustainable development and offer new products incorporating environmental and health constraints. The main research questions concern 1) the determining structural and spatial innovation factors affecting the organisation as an individual stakeholder and 2) the new modes of individual and collective coordination within the sectors underpinning the innovation strategies of the organizations and mobilizing a set of systems and localities (spatial, organizational, institutional and cognitive), in order to innovate. The originality of our approach is linked to its joint consideration of the organizational and spatial dimensions of innovation processes. The research methodology is based on a significant mobilization of databases from surveys of official statistics and field surveys produced by the team. The Ioda team has developed a longstanding policy of inclusion and collaboration with the Social Science laboratories in Toulouse that allows it to expand its procedures and expand its sectorial approaches. As a result it is involved, for example, in a LEREPS working group on Agro-industrial Dynamics. It contributes to the ReSTo (Social Networks in Toulouse) group and is working with the LISST, the Certop and Framespa through regional projects (such as Local Skills Systems 2005-2007 and the FUI Geowine project 2007-2011). The team also contributes to the European Monitoring Centre for localized EuroLIO innovation data. Concerning Mdiations (management and gographie), the objective of is to produce knowledge about the processes, mechanisms and tools of mediation between farmers, local actors, agents and institutions that accompany development (development agencies, local authorities, institutions training, unions, cooperatives ,...). The aim is to provide an analysis and the accompanying changes in farming. The two teams are integrated into the graduate school TESC and several of its members are involved in PhD teaching.

2.3. GOUVERNANCE /GOVERNANCE SMS, like all laboratories of excellence, is a long-term project, which involves a system of organization that is independent of the people who initially developed it. This organization is based on four ruling bodies: - A Board of Directors whose members are the head of LabEx and representatives of research units involved in the project, PACS, research vice-presidents representing the institutions concerned and 3 representatives of civil society. It appoints the members of the steering committee, who are proposed by the head of LabEx and also appoints the latter. It appoints members of the Scientific Council on the recommendation of the Steering Committee. It assesses the organizational functioning of LabEx on an annual basis, supported by the expert opinion of the Scientific Council. The Board shall ensure the consistency of LabEx activities with the orientations of the laboratories and institutions, and monitor the ripple effects on the whole of the local scientific community. - A Steering Committee, proposed by the head of Labex and reappointed every two years. It is made up of the main leaders of research and seminar activities. It determines the allocation of allowances, in consultation with the laboratory directors and with the graduate schools (to which applicants files are submitted) for theses and with the directors of laboratories for postdoctoral grants. It selects the research operations to be initiated and manages them from day to day. - A General Meeting of permanent and non-permanent researchers involved in the project meets once a year. It advises on the direction to be taken by laboratory research. A Scientific Council, made up of six international experts on the themes of the project (social networks, systems, regulation, territories). The Scientific Council assesses the activity of Labex every two years (theses launched, research operations, seminars). It ensures the proper integration of LabEx activities into the dynamic of international scientific activities. The following have already agreed to participate in this committee: Tom Snijders, University
