Suzanne de Cheveigné
I have spent most of my career as a full-time researcher in the French CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research, first as a condensed-matter physicist then moving to the sociology of the relations between Science and Society. I have worked on such issues as media coverage of science and its reception by audiences and scientists’ relation with the media, focussing progressively on biotechnology then environmental issues including energy poverty. I have also analysed gender and science issues.
At present, in my emeritus position, I also devote time to a French NGO, Compagnons Bâtisseurs, active on poor-quality housing issues (including energy poverty), as chair of the national umbrella organisation. Among other things, this allows me to observe and support the collaboration between scientists and civil society organisations.
I have been a partner of several European Commission projects and also an outside advisor. I have a long experience of evaluating or reviewing individual projects (FP5 to H2020). I have taken part in the evaluation of several framework programs both as a member of the expert groups and as chair. I have been member or chair of other EC expert groups and member (and at one point rapporteur) of three Work-program Advisory Groups under H2020.
