Co-director of PhiLab, with Peter Elson of Victoria University, from the SSHRC partnership grants obtained for 2013-2017 and 2018-2024. As co-directors, we oversee the implementation and coordination of research and knowledge valuation activities included in the research programs led in partnership with and financially supported by the SSHRC and the project’s partners. I am also director of the Research chair on methodology and epistemology of partnership-based research and a regular member of the Social innovation research center. Finally, I co-direct, with Isabel Heck (Parole d’excluEs) the university incubator eponymous to this organization (IUPE).
