ArgumentLE STUDIUM, CITERES and ETIcS organize an international conference in Tours, France on 7-9 November 2016: Practical Engagements and the Social-Spatial Dimensions of the Post-Petroleum Future to explore the social dimensioning of the energy transition.The symposium gathers a variety of experts, scientists, practitioners and institutionals who will cover:the social scale of future visionsthe introduction of hydrogen and fuel cells into the energy arena in distinct social and geographical spacesTo discover the detailed programme, the list of invited speakers and register, please visit: http://www.lestudium-ias.com/event/practical-engagements-and-social-spatial-dimensions-post-petroleum-futureThe unfolding energy transition, necessitated by international decarbonization agreements and other social and ecological demands, raises numerous questions about the roles cities, regions, communes, local cooperatives and other geographical-political-social entities will play. How will communities be positioned in shaping the future? Will the most important energy developments during the transition be at the level of sub-national regions and local communities? Or are transnational regional efforts equally well positioned to make a difference? How do social scale and corresponding forms of relations, association and organization align with particular ways of envisioning the future? The aim of this symposium is to examine the social dimensioning of the energy transition with a special but not exclusive consideration of the case of introducing hydrogen and fuel cells into the energy arena. The intersecting range of presentations will explore the relationship between the social scale of future visions and the social scale of actual unfolding of techno-social development. In the case of hydrogen, discussions will explore the question of how visions of the future involving this new energy vector are taking shape in distinct social and geographical spaces.Programme7 november 201609H15 &#160; Welcome coffee &#8211; registration09H45 &#160; Opening remarks10H05 &#160; CITERES Patrice Mel&#233;&#160;; ETICS, Thibault Danteur, Jean-Philippe Fouquet, Christ&#232;le AssegondSession 1 &#8211; Communities, projects and visionsChair dr Alain Nada&#239;10H45 &#160; Dr Sharon Klein, The Power of the People: socio-economic dimensions of community-based energy initiatives in the United States11H25 &#160; Pr Dominique P&#233;caud, Social acceptability or the hypothesis of sociological voluntarism12H10 LunchSession II &#8211; Zooming in on hydrogen programsChair pr Stefan Bouzarovski14H00 &#160; Pr David Koester, The social and discursive dimensions of hydrogen in the energy transition14H40 &#160; Dr B&#233;atrice Cointe, Hydrogen futures on the lab bench: a sociological investigation of one interdisciplinary research project on biohydrogen15H20 &#160; Dr Sangook Park, Social Shaping of the Hydrogen Future: a Comparative Case Study on the Hydrogen Niche Formation in Iceland, Korea and the UK.16H00 Coffee BreakRoundtable &#8211; Hydrogen and energy transitions in hawai&#8216;i and denmarkModerator pr David Koester16H30 &#160; Stan Osserman &#38; Dr Sanne &#216;stergaard Nielsen18H00 &#160; Shuttle departure for Chateau of Villandry Wine tasting and gala dinner8 november 201609H30 &#160; Morning coffeeSession III &#8211; Urban and local, materiality and social spaces in the energy transitionChair dr Sharon Klein10H00 &#160; Pr Stefan Bouzarovski, Retrofitting the City: Practices of resilience and flexibility in the built environment10H40 &#160; Dr Vanesa Cast&#225;n Broto, The material politics of urban energy transitions11H20 Coffee Break11H40 &#160; Dr Alain Nada&#239;, Surfing on TEPOS, reach and limits of French Policy localism12H30 Lunch at Les LionceauxSession IV &#8211; Frames for hydrogen energyChair dr Vanesa Castan Broto14H30 &#160; Dr Fabienne Picard, Approaching the fuel cell technologies from an industrial perspective15H10 &#160; Dr Herv&#233; Flanquart, Installations of production and storage of energy: what social acceptability?
