Thinking and working together: collaborative science at an international scale

Ethical and Social aspects of Collaborative Science

This workshop is a session of the Interdisciplinary Seminar « Collaboration in Scientific Practice » organized by Anouk Barberousse (philosophy, Paris-Sorbonne, Sciences Normes Décision) and Ivan Sainsaulieu (sociology, Lille I, Clersé). The main location of this seminar is Paris Sorbonne University (Paris IV), and this session intends to extend its scope.
The growing interest for collaboration in science comes from many directions and is particularly emphasized in the managerial and political discourse advocating general reorganization of scientific work. The seminar is intended as a platform to share perspectives on the sociological dimensions (network, domination), the technological choices (simulation, human-machine interaction), the organizational aspects (bureaucracy, leadership) and the epistemological issues (communication, distributed cognition) of these collaborative practices in science.
In this session, we will focus on the ethical and social aspects of collaborative science, especially of neuroscience. Governance of neuroscience, interdisciplinary perspectives in neuroscience and the ethical and social impacts of technologies are among the issues to be discussed.The workshop is open to participants from various backgrounds and disciplines.
