The socioeconomic and environmental impacts of Canada’s extractive industries, their international ramifications, and the challenges they face in the midst of a systemic environmental crisis justify the French Association for Canadian Studies (AFEC) dedicating its 50th conference to this issue. During this conference, we will examine the logic of extraction from various perspectives in order to foster dialogue among the disciplines represented within the AFEC. We will seek to understand the extent to which the dynamics of extraction—from the forestry industry to the exploitation of fossil fuels—have transformed not only ways of life but also the diverse expectations and concerns of contemporary Canadian society.

Do digital technologies truly help address existing vulnerabilities? Or do they risk reinforcing certain forms of exclusion or creating new ones? Under what conditions can they help ensure effective access to care for populations most isolated from healthcare systems? We welcome submissions focusing on any national or regional experiences that shed light on the challenges of digital health in contexts of vulnerability and remote access to care (particularly in French overseas territories, Arctic regions, Africa, etc.)

While the concept of sovereignty is sparking renewed interest in the digital sphere, its relationship with ecological paradigms remains largely unexplored, although some recent publications have addressed this line of research. Indeed, in the name of digital sovereignty, new and increasingly redundant infrastructures are being built with the aim of providing better connectivity and increased computing and storage capacities.

“Transportation & Mobility, Tourism: Degrowth, Decarbonization, Sustainable Development? ” 15th edition of the AsTRES International Multidisciplinary Conference – Lumière Lyon 2 University – Lyon – MSH Lyon-St. Etienne – November 24–27, 2026.

The AsTRES conference aims to bring together perspectives from various disciplinary approaches to tourism. The goal of this edition is to gain a better understanding of the interactions between tourism and transportation. The aim is to better understand, from the first kilometer to the last, how tourists move and how tourism stakeholders influence their mobility. In this way, the conference will help identify avenues for public policy or best practices to enable destinations to become more sustainable and resilient, and to help tourists become more aware of the range of mobility options that make up a trip, a journey, or an act of mobility.

In the face of the climate emergency, rapid urban expansion, and water and heat stress (heat islands), traditional urban planning models are reaching their limits. This international conference aims to foster a cross-disciplinary and comparative scientific debate (particularly with the Mediterranean and African regions) to rethink sustainable, resilient, and smart urban policies (AI, GIS, digital transition), while incorporating an in-depth examination of the preservation of historical heritage (medinas) and the renewal of educational practices (history and geography pedagogy).
