Pandémie de COVID-19 : appel à l’engagement des universitaires dans l’espace public

Abstract

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the upheavals caused by digital technology on the diffusion and use of information have raised major issues for public health. In parallel to the pandemic, the world is facing a real "infodemic" where misinformation mingles with scientific "evidence". Given this challenging situation, what role should scholars play? They are invited to adopt a posture of engagement in the public space to contribute to the democratization of knowledge.
