TARGETED PROJECT 2
PILOT: PRACTICES AND INFRASTRUCTURES FOR LONG-TERM COLLABORATION
The past two decades have witnessed the rise of numerous tools and platforms that support group collaboration, communication, and coordination. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the acculturation of people to these services. However, setting up a collaborative environment for a project that lasts for weeks or months, with participants from different organizations, requires many decisions based on contradictory requirements such as security, trust, organization policies, ease of use, previous knowledge, and cost. Participants often fall back on outdated methods like email attachments. How to allow seamless work from different locations and devices and adapting the environment to new needs?
PILOT aims to design and engineer collaborative platforms that build upon regulatory challenges, organizational theories, and existing work practices. The goal is to anticipate technological and societal evolutions and enable a French (or European) exception on digital platforms that guarantee autonomy and foster care, trust, and digital well-being.
PILOT key challenges stem from revisiting the socio-technical stack, with novel conceptual models and design frameworks for long-term collaborative practices and enabling fluid collective experiences that support interoperability and evolution.
