I am working on two main research projects that started some years ago.
RESET-Francophone (REleve Scientifique, Education et Technologies) is a projet in research education. For more information, please visit the project's webpage.
Open Education for Research Methodology Teaching across the Mediterranean is a SNF SPARK funded project that follows up on RESET-Francophone and opens and broadens it. For more information, please visit the SNF webpage
Sharing Competencies in transcultural Spaces (SCOPE) studies educational and transcultural exchange processes taking place in the context of LECU and SINAN. The aim of this research project is to describe and understand how, in the research site of the two mentioned academic network projects, pedagogical knowledge, competencies and practices of academics at teacher training universities are shared, discussed, adapted and appropriated to serve in different contexts. This project examines the exchange of experiences among peers in an international community of practice from an equal expert status and catalyzed through networked meetings.
