Themes: National Policies, National Institutions, National Collective Identities; [Statement:] "ARENA is a cross-disciplinary programme that includes a variety of theoretical approaches and frameworks with contemporary as well as historical perspectives. The aim, however, is to contribute to the development of better theories of Europeanisation on the basis of research groups organised around a limited number of theoretical frameworks of analysis. ARENA explicitly addresses the normative challenges posed by ongoing changes in the European political order. In addition to describing and explaining such changes, a central task is to assess their legitimacy particularly on the basis of democratic theory. ARENA promotes comparative research, in particular research oriented towards implications of European integration for the Norwegian state and for the Nordic and other small states in Europe."

Themes: En fidélité à l'oeuvre d'Alexandre Koyré, le Centre qui porte son nom s'attache à une histoire des sciences, qui articule l'analyse épistémologique des contenus de savoir avec l'étude socio-historique de leurs conditions de possibilité. Toutes les recherches menées dans le laboratoire visent donc, à la fois, le développement spécifique de la pensée et de la pratique scientifiques, qui construisent en une histoire autonome leurs propres problèmes, et les contraintes multiples qui règlent la production des énoncés scientifiques - ainsi, les conceptions philosophiques, les croyances religieuses, les représentations collectives, les déterminations institutionnelles et sociologiques. La spécificité intellectuelle du Centre Alexandre-Koyré ne lui vient donc pas d'une spécialisation, thématique ou chronologique dans le champ de l'histoire des sciences. Plus fondamentalement, elle réside dans une démarche commune qui inscrit dans l'historicité des conditions de production, de transmission et de réception des savoirs scientifiques, la compréhension des catégories conceptuelles qui les fondent.

Centre-Michel-Foucault@fnet.fr

Themes:

Conferences: Colloque international "Michel Foucault et la médecine" - Caen 1999, L'¦uvre de Foucault témoigne d'une attention continue portée à la médecine. Celle-ci est à la croisée de toutes les enquêtes de Foucault sur la lente formation d'un pouvoir et d'un savoir de normalisation. La notion de bio-pouvoir est désormais l'un des outils fondamentaux pour questionner le corps, l'espèce, le sexe, et la race., Aujourd'hui, la médecine et ses enjeux politiques et sociaux sont à l'actualité des sociétés contemporaines. Tenant compte de cette continuité thématique dans le parcours intellectuel de Michel Foucault, et de la pertinence de ses interrogations au regard de l'actualité médico-sociale, l'association pour le Centre Michel Foucault, en collaboration avec l'ENS Fontenay-Saint-Cloud (CERPHI), l'Institut Mémoire de l'édition contemporaine (IMEC), et l'Université de Caen, organise un colloque international intitulé "Michel Foucault et la médecine"., Ce colloque se tiendra au printemps 1999, à l'Abbaye d'Ardenne, à Caen.

Themes: [Goals:] Scientific and technological advances have yielded rich material benefits for some countries of the world. At the same time, they have brought serious problems, such as the depletion of natural resources, pollution of the environment, a widening gap between the developing nations and industrialized nations, and changing value systems that are adversely affecting ethical standards. These are problems for the future, and it is imperative that we now pursue research that will lead to solutions. The International Institute for Advanced Studies (IIAS) has been established with this purpose in mind. [1999 research projects:] Neuroscience of Language, Cultural Bias of Science, The Possibility of Clinical Philosophy, The Promotion of Interdisciplinary and Inter-Project Cooperation in Materials Research, Ethical issues in Human Gene Analysis and Clinical Genetics, Investigation Research on the Next Generation Softwares; [past research projects:] Mathematical Approach to Fluctuations, The Structure of the Intercultural World, The Study of Happiness, "Cognition, Computation, and Consciousness," Translatability of Culture (technology and cultural fusion)

Conferences: Répresentation[s], colloque interdisciplinaire, 5, 6, 7 mai 1999, Organisé par la Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société de Poitiers (MSHS - UMS 842 CNRS) dans le cadre de ses deuxièmes journées scientifiques, ce colloque abordera, de façon interdisciplinaire, la notion de «Représentation(s)», transversale en Sciences Humaines et, Sociales. Cette notion, définie différemment et plus ou moins théorisée selon les disciplines, peut recouvrir, soit un objet d'étude (les représentations sociales, les mentalités, par exemple), soit un outil d'analyse (la représentation du réel comme moyen de le modéliser, de le questionner). Les communications proposées s'attacheront à déterminer les bases d'une réflexion commune sur le statut et l'utilisation des représentations en sciences humaines et sociales. En se plaçant au-delà des approches spécifiques et disciplinaires, ce colloque propose, d'aborder la notion de représentation en privilégiant un angle critique et synthétique, qui n'écarte pas la dimension épistémologique. Il s'agira, tout en s'appuyant sur des recherches récentes et originales, de mener une réflexion, interdisciplinaire rigoureuse dont puissent bénéficier en retour toutes les disciplines des SHS.

Themes: [Focus:] the preservation and compilation of the Mario Soares Archives and their gradual opening to public consultation by researchers. The Mario Soares Archives constitute a significant collection of documents important for the study of Portuguese history of the twentieth century in the European, African and world contexts. The Archives also contain other private collections relevant to the study of Portugal's contemporary history. Another area that the Foundation intends to promote is the development of European studies, considering this new period in the construction of Europe and Portugal's participation in the European Union. In this context, it will provide study grants and award prizes, such as the current independently funded 'Mario Soares Prize for European Studies'.

Conferences: [Description:] Closely linked to the former President of Portugal, Mario Soares, the Foundation organises, promotes and sponsors cultural, scientific and educational activities in the fields of human rights, political science and international relations. [Themes:] Contemporary Portugal; Immigrant workers and students in Portugal; Relations between Portugal and Portuguese-speaking African countries, Brazil, Macau, and East Timor

Keywords:
The Mario Soares Foundation intends to organise, promote and sponsor research projects, publication of essays, editorial activities, political and civic educational projects, debates, conferences, courses and seminars on political science and present day issues. It will pay particular attention to cultural promotion and awareness raising activities aimed at young people and immigrant workers and students in Portugal.

Themes: "The research program of the period from 1986-1995 focused on historically and internationally comparative studies of the interaction between political-administrative intervention and societal self-organization in selected sectors 'close to the state' - namely in health care systems, organized research systems and large technical infrastructure systems, with a special emphasis on telecommunications. In the new program, the subjects of empirical research have changed in response to the growing importance of market interaction and international competition even in sectors that were formerly protected and tightly controlled by the authority of the nation state." [Research Themes:] 1) International and intersectoral comparisons of the functioning of national systems of governance and their response to changed external conditions; 2) The operation, performance and democratic legitimacy of transnational and supranational governance systems, with a special emphasis on the European Union; 3) The interplay between the institutions of multilevel governance systems
