The SAGA Symposium – Science, Arts, and Georesources for the “Anthropocene” will bring together a community of researchers, artists, engineers, practitioners, and local stakeholders eager to explore, through the alliance of arts and sciences, new ways of thinking about, representing, and narrating the subsurface, its socio-ecosystems, and its mineral resources. Muriel Lefebvre, Vice President for Science and Society, and Laurence Barthe, Vice President for University Social Responsibility, in partnership with Emeline Jouve, Vice President for Culture, and Aline Wiame and Julien Garde, Research and Creation Project Managers, are pleased to invite you to the Research Conference, organized this year under the theme: Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

  • The goal is to create a space for research and creation that allows us to transform our knowledge, examine our “surface/subsurface” interdependencies, and envision sustainable paths forward in the context of socio-ecological upheaval.
     
  • This event is a continuation of the Zone Arts project (CNRS/RZA), launched in 2023 by the Toulouse Environmental Geosciences Laboratory (GET), in partnership with IMT Mines Alès.
     
  • It also aims to forge links between the art-science communities of the CNRS Zones Ateliers and the “Georesources and Sustainability” Knowledge Community (IRD) and is part of its annual conference series.
