SDG 16: peace, justice and strong institutions

IMT Atlantique promotes the advent of peaceful societies open to all and the establishment of efficient, responsible and open institutions through research projects and the college of societal transitions.

I- Elected representatives for staff, teachers and students

Within IMT Atlantique, there are a large number of bodies where students, whatever their course of study (undergraduate and postgraduate), are represented by their peers. When students are present in these bodies, they are listened to and heard. They are often asked to bring the student perspective to the table.
student.

There are different electoral colleges of the School Council, in accordance with article 4 of the Order of 5 December 2016 relating to IMT Atlantique (see LEGIFRANCE NOR: ECFG1633841A JORF n°0293 of 17 December 2016)

  • A college of professors, research directors, research masters and study directors: two representatives,
  • A college of lecturers, assistant lecturers, research fellows, study engineers, teaching-research fellows and lecturers: three representatives,
  • A college of other staff employed at the School, i.e. administrative and management staff, engineers, technical and logistical staff: three representatives,
  • A college of student users (initial engineering training, engineering training by apprenticeship, masters and masters): three representatives, - A college of doctoral student users: one representative.

    • Le ReSel: network access provider on the Brest and Rennes campuses, this 100% student association applies its knowledge of telecommunications and networks to provide a stable, state-of-the-art service to all its members.

III. Cyber Physical Security and terrorist attacks

Works on the elaboration of an approach to attenuate cyber-physical attacks driven by reflective programmable networking actions, in order to take control of adversarial actions against cyber-physical systems. Hub transportation networks are vulnerable to uncertainties such as natural disasters or terrorist attacks. We investigate the single-allocation p-hub location problems and the effect of uncertainties on deliveries. Works on a dynamic database crypto-watermarking scheme that enables a cloud service provider to verify the integrity of encrypted databases outsourced by different users.

IV. College of Societal Transitions

Creation of the College of Societal Transitions, a member of the national network of Colleges for Higher Studies in Sustainable Development (CHEDD), a think & do tank for the priority attention of all stakeholders in the region: A training platform for decision-makers, conference-debates open to as many people as possible, research actions and experiments on societal transitions to be initiated. Its vocation is to promote, in institutional, socio-economic, associative circles and more broadly within civil society, a shared culture on societal issues as well as to encourage the engagement of transitional actions.

V. Academic Freedom Policy

IMT Atlantique has put in place a policy on supporting academic freedom to allow researchers to choose areas of research and to speak and teach publicly about the area of their research

Mission de Recherche et d’Innovation

 

I. Projets de recherche contribuant à rendre les institutions plus justes et efficaces

I.1. Le projet IAAP

Ce projet part du constat que l’« algorithmisation de la vie sociale », soit la mise en algorithme d’un nombre de plus en plus important d’activités sociales, reconfigure de manière importante les méthodes par lesquelles nos sociétés produisent de la connaissance sur elles-mêmes et se gouvernent.

La police n’échappe pas à ces innovations numériques et aux mutations du travail qu’elles génèrent. Ce projet de recherche porte sur les façons dont le renouveau récent des techniques d’intelligence artificielle (IA, et plus spécifiquement l’apprentissage profond fonctionnant avec des réseaux de neurones) transforme à la fois les modes de connaissance des phénomènes de déviance et les dispositifs de prévention et de sécurité.

I.2. Le projet MeDeMAP

Ce projet vise à clarifier dans quelle mesure les médias européens remplissent leurs fonctions démocratiques. Ce projet aboutira au développement d'un outil permettant de surveiller et d'analyser les environnements de l'information politique afin d'en tirer des lignes directrices pour soutenir les développements qui favorisent la démocratie et contrecarrer les phénomènes qui peuvent la mettre en péril.

I.3. Le projet BC4SSI

Ce projet vise à étudier et à développer un nouveau paradigme de blockchain publique pour gérer les SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity). Malgré leur capacité impressionnante à permettre à un grand nombre de participants inconnus de se mettre d'accord sur l'état du système, les blockchains souffrent de diverses limitations, dont certaines deviendront durablement un obstacle majeur pour les services exploitant les blockchains.

BC4SSI se concentrera sur quatre de ces verrous scientifiques afin de déployer un SSI public utilisable par toute personne disposant d'un smartphone classique permettant aux utilisateurs d'interagir avec des services quotidiens.

 

 

II. IMT Atlantique travaille à la protection des données, notamment de santé

Alors que la médecine et la génétique font de plus en plus appel à la science des données et à l’IA, la question de la protection de ces informations sensibles s’impose à tous les acteurs de la santé. Une équipe du laboratoire LaTIM d'IMT Atlantique travaille sur ces questions, avec des solutions comme le chiffrement ou le tatouage de données. Elle est labellisée par l’Inserm.

La recherche effectuée par IMT Atlantique dans ce domaine a essaimé au sein d'une spinoff, Watoo, dont le professeur d'IMT Atlantique Gouenou Coatrieux est conseiller scientifique. Elle propose des outils d’identification et de dissuasion, pour lutter contre la fuite, les détournements et les falsifications de données sensibles, avec notamment le tatouage numérique. Elle valorise plusieurs brevets de l'école

III. Article de recherche en 2022 en lien avec l'ODD 16

En 2022, IMT Atlantique entreprend des recherches actives en lien avec l'ODD 16 sur les tableaux de bord Learning Analytics (LAD). Ce sont des outils de visualisation de données conçus pour permettre aux enseignants et aux apprenants de prendre des décisions utiles qui ont un impact sur le processus d'apprentissage.

En raison de leur émergence relativement récente et de la rareté des études sur leurs principes de conception, la conception des tableaux de bord reste un domaine d'investigation majeur dans la recherche en Learning Analytics, et la diffusion à grande échelle auprès de leurs parties prenantes reste limitée.

Nous favorisons les approches centrées sur l'humain pour la conception des LAD, car leur succès en termes d'acceptation et d'adoption dépend grandement du niveau d'implication des parties prenantes dans leur conception. Les premières expérimentations lors d'une étude pilote auprès d'enseignants démontrent que l'outil proposé favorise le travail en groupe, et l'approfondissement de l'utilisation des LAD.
