A winning project in the Amidex TRANSFERT 2020-2023 programme | Partnership with the socio-economic and cultural world

The aim of the PubLiCS (Publics des Lieux Culturels et de la Science) project is to promote dialogue between university research and the cultural world.

The actions of PubLiCS are based around three forms of transfer:

1/ The construction of We have developed qualitative and quantitative survey "solutions" for understanding and monitoring the public, setting up  measurement and evaluation systems adapted to and used by the structures ;

2/ the modelling collaborative forms of partnership between science and society in the field of culture to design projects adapted to different situations, territories and specific contexts;

3/ the development of innovative and exploratory mediation toolsThis will be done with the help of digital technologies, in the form of deliverables (such as an application or interactive terminal) tailored to the needs of the target audience and potential target audiences.

The fields of investigation and experimentation of new tools for the mediation of PubLiCS are available on three different types of terrain, all of which constituteresearch areas structuring : events, cultural institutions and structures, third-party venues.

For each of these fields, the team will work on case studies over the period 2024-26, implementing survey protocols that combine the expertise of researchers and specialists in experimental, exploratory and innovative action research methodologies. The development of new, different or innovative formats will be possible precisely thanks to this dialogue and thanks to collaborative work between the academic and socio-cultural worlds with a strong participative dimension.
