DESCRIPTION:The seminar is jointly organized by ENS Lyon and EPFL (ENAC-II
 E and CdH-IAGS)\nIntermediation platforms have become a major new player i
 n our economies. They offer essential services similar to energy supply\, 
 are adopted by a large part of the world population\, challenge public adm
 inistrations\, shake legal systems\, compete with the oil industry for mar
 ket capitalization\, while disrupting an increasing number of economic sec
 tors. They have led to new social ecosystems\, allowing to develop new ser
 vices\, as well as to contribute in a cooperative manner to global efforts
  both in the private and the public sphere. Their role in understanding an
 d acting on natural ecosystems should be determinant as well in the near f
 uture.\n\nThe objective of the seminar is to gather researchers from diffe
 rent disciplines to analyze the impact of data on both social and natural 
 ecosystems\, and to understand the emerging ecosystems of data. The first 
 session will be devoted to technical issues on data\, its production and t
 ransformation into services. In the second session\, we will specifically 
 address natural ecosystems\, while the last session will be devoted to soc
 ial ecosystems. The seminar will be open to issues related to economy\, la
 w\, political sciences\, participation\, urban planning\, smart environmen
 t\, anthropocene\, etc.\n\nThe format of the seminar is intended to maximi
 ze discussions. Presentations will be kept to a maximum of 15 minutes foll
 owed by 45 minutes of discussion. The seminar aims to attract a mix of fac
 ulty members and advanced researchers. Advanced students (max. 20) intere
