DESCRIPTION:The College of Humanities and the Laboratory for the Histor
 y of Science and Technology are pleased to invite you to the second sessi
 on of Pierre Mounier’s monthly seminar on Governing Digital Knowledge
  Infrastructures.\n\nAbstract\nThe European landscape of research infrastr
 uctures rapidly changed over the course of the last 20 years with an incre
 ase in the number of infrastructures under development\, but also the prog
 ressive setup of a coordinated policy at the continental level through sev
 eral instruments: \n\n	a scientific cooperation framework: the European R
 esearch Area (ERA)\; \n	a specific funding instrument in the recent resea
 rch framework programs of the European Commission: the “Infradev” call
 s for proposals\; \n	a forum that gathers research ministries of the memb
 er states to align their investment policies: the European Strategy Forum 
 for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI)\; \n	and a legal status specifically
  dedicated to research infrastructures in European law: the European Resea
 rch Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). \n\nThis recent evolution is buildi
 ng upon a longer history of “big science” programs in Europe in the co
 ntext of European integration after the second world war\, starting with t
 he building of facilities for physics in the 1950s (CERN\, EURATOM). This 
 historical context\, detailed in a recent publication: \nKatharina C. Cra
 mer and Olof Hallonsten (eds.)\, Big Science and Research Infrastructures
  in Europe\, Northampton\, Edward Elgar Publishing\, 2020\, https://doi.o
 rg/10.4337/9781839100017 \nwill guide us during this seminar session\, de
 dicated to European research infrastructures and how they shape knowledge 
 production on the continent. The historical analysis provided by the book 
 will be put into perspective with an analysis of the ESFRI framework as it
  developed during the recent years.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration to parti
 cipate is free but compulsory (13 persons max\, first come first served):\
