Expertises

Skills

The role of the Costech Unit is to develop research in the humanities and social sciences (SHS) in the context of an engineering school, which is also a university of technology. In this way, and throughout its history, the Costech project has been at the confluence of SHS and engineering sciences.
The project of the unit for the next five years is to develop technological research in SHS in/on contemporary socio-technical environments.
Costech thus endeavours to combine ambitious and unconventional conceptual research with a desire to test technical, organizational and social achievements. The members of the unit thus participate in the realization of concrete devices: design of interfaces and coupling devices, participation in innovation processes, implementation of pedagogical or participatory devices, development of strategies of valorization.
