The progressive construction of a digital culture based on the use of machines, techniques, languages, algorithms, and more generally of information, involves the acquisition of renewed skills, with the ability to create objects in a collaborative process, using techniques and tools made available to the public and shared in open spaces, the FabLabs. They respond to the collective concern for democratized access to the co-construction of knowledge and skills, facilitating transmission using nonconventional learning practices. The FabLab project approach remains poorly documented, communicated and visible. The FabLab-More project aims to experiment and analyze the development potential of FabLabs through the improvement of documentation, communication and intermediation processes, in a logic of social openness more than expert technological innovation, and to continue and deepen the investigations initiated around Third Places as participatory spaces for the dissemination of knowledge. The cognitive, social and intercultural dimensions are put into practice through experiments with young audiences in a network of local and international FabLabs, and analyzed by a team of researchers who are experts in human and digital mediation and education issues.

The INSIDE project aims to change the way society looks at psychiatric disorders, and to oppose all forms of stigmatisation that still persist today, particularly through certain media representations. Conceived as participatory action research, it is built around an innovative system based on the cross-fertilisation of practical and theoretical knowledge between researchers in psychiatry, Information and Communication Sciences and media players, and is taking place 'inside' a psychiatric hospital in Bordeaux. It is based on an emic approach, in that the actions are carried out by starting with the subjects, i.e. the patients, who are the actors in the project. The intervention consists in the production of a 16-page quarterly paper magazine covering the major issues facing society and allowing the emergence of a different viewpoint and analysis of the major issues in the news, which may overlap with that of the usual media, but also offer a different perspective linked to the experience of psychological pain and stigmatisation, and to a particular sensitivity. The aim is also to position the magazine as a medium in its own right within the Aquitaine region. INSIDE is presented as an initiative closely linked to a social issue, clearly identified by professionals in the sector, with a view to inclusion. It is expected to have a number of positive effects, including providing the general public with real information about psychiatric disorders, creating links with the media and thereby changing the way in which certain situations are covered in the media, and offering patients an opportunity to break away from their image as people suffering from a psychiatric disorder through an original dynamic of action. The project could be transferred to other psychiatric care centres.

HyperOtlet is a multi and transdisciplinary project about a major book in the history of information sciences: Le Traité de documentation, written in 1934 by a Belgian lawyer: Paul Otlet († 1944). Passionate militant of a new field, documentation, he created original tools and practices and thus, a new knowledge tradition. HyperOtlet will articulate a set of historical and documented research with a collaborative digital device and elaborate an augmented corpus around 4 axes: new contextualisations of digital culture (documentary regime, Muller); discussions about current issues of documentation in digital humanities (Le Deuff) of documentarity (Pédauque) and documentality (Ferraris); promote the creation of an epistemic community able to represent an European documentary tradition; develops new ways in consulting, reading, navigating in written works (ENSSIB, MSHPN).
