Biography
Amélie Artis, a professor of economics, examines the place and role of collective enterprises in the social and solidarity economy engaged in economic activities across various sectors. To shed light on this topic, she analyzes the specific characteristics and dynamics of these enterprises in specific sectors (finance, consumer goods, energy, mobility, and the circular economy) and conducts a comparative analysis of sectoral and territorial regulations. Her work is structured around three main areas: the specific characteristics of SSE enterprises across various sectors (1), which allows her to shed light on cooperatives as an institutional form of collective enterprise (2), and then to situate this within territorial dynamics (3).
His research methodologies are primarily qualitative in nature and draw on action research protocols. His areas of expertise include: (1) an institutionalist analysis of collective organization (cooperatives, associations); (2) an approach focused on sector-specific regulations; and (3) a territorialized approach to organization and regulation.

FORESEE
The FORESEE project, led by the University of Grenoble Alpes and its partners (CNRS, INRAE, the Universities of Lille, Bordeaux, Lyon 3, and Montpellier 3), aims to understand and anticipate the social consequences of climate change. It explores individual reactions, the adaptive capacities of regions, and the impacts on the social contract. This interdisciplinary program brings together more than 300 researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It includes the creation of an Observatory on Climate Inequalities and tools to support public policy.
Flex-Mediation
The development and integration of renewable energy into the energy system is now a major challenge in the ecological transition. However, this integration poses significant challenges. While the electricity system requires a constant balance between supply and demand, the generation of renewable energy—such as solar and wind power—depends on weather conditions and is therefore variable over time. Some view this “intermittency” as a threat to the stability of power grids. However, solutions exist and are being developed to manage this variability and bring greater flexibility to the system. In this context, the Flex-Mediation research project focuses on mediation efforts carried out by intermediary organizations between electricity producers and end-users with the aim of adjusting electricity demand over time. The analysis will also examine the regulatory and legal framework governing the operations of these actors, which plays a key role in mobilizing consumers to contribute to flexibility. Understanding mediation mechanisms requires an in-depth and dynamic analysis of the sociotechnical system of electricity, at the national, local, and even micro-local levels. Thus, Flex-Mediation seeks to answer the following questions: What are the main forms of mediation—existing and emerging, market-based or community-based—between electricity generation and end users? How is the variability of renewable energy sources accounted for in these mediations? Finally, how is regulation evolving to account for the variability of renewable energy sources on the consumption side?
