Entre utilitarisme et pessimisme : pour une recherche utile, utilisable et utilisée

There is no day without a book, a debate, a declaration underling the limits of our development : economic limits, ecological limits, and social limits. The growth never creates enough jobs. Global warming is becoming real for everyone. Pollution multiplies and poses public health problems. Exclusio...

The growth never creates enough jobs. Global warming is becoming real for everyone. Pollution multiplies and poses public health problems. Exclusion, even if misery is, of course, more present in the South, is happening everywhere. However, science has never been so productive in knowledge and technology.

The expression “social request” suggests that actors external to the scientific community should contribute to the definition of the research problems (Grossetti, 2000). Gibbons et al. (1994) defend the assumption of a new method of knowledge production, focused on the problems to solve as they are defined by industry or the public authorities, in rupture with the academic organization of disciplines and universities.

The authors defend the idea that the future is so uncertain that science cannot be fully mobilized. They justify this assumption by showing the insufficiency of the answers to the challenges of sustainable development and by underlining the low capacity of innovation of the society to face changes. Using the concept of “capacity of adaptation” developed within the reflection on the climate change, they propose the adaptation of the processes of innovation in company to sustainable development through training processes and competences reinforcement.
