It will based on oral presentations; written papers will not be requested before the conference. There is no conference fee, but participants have to cover their traveling expenses (transport, accommodation in Paris or Noisy-Champs, etc.).

This conference aims to bring together social science and humanities perspectives on nuclear issues in an unprecedented context. Sociology, history, philosophy, anthropology, geography, political science, economy, and Science and Technology Studies approaches can complement each other to provide new insights into developments in this sector.
Short Abstract: In the context of climate change and geopolitical tensions over energy supply, calls for a nuclear « revival », « relaunch » or « renaissance » are reviving and reconfiguring justifications and promises that have accompanied nuclear technology since the post-war years. Nuclear futures are framed by categories, practices and materials inherited from the past and perpetuated until today. What happens when the nuclear industry is simultaneously faced with issues of decline and renewal? How does this configuration shed light on the challenges of managing infrastructures that are presented as crucial in the context of climate change?
Please find the complete call attached to this email.
We very much look forward to receiving your submissions. Please feel free to share this with your colleagues and networks.
