Supporting Research

Ariane, methodological support group for the social sciences

Since 2009, a team of SHS engineers has formally structured methodological support for Pacte researchers through the Ariane group. Past or present, Ariane illustrates the journey through a maze from which we emerge enriched to launch ourselves into the space of methods.

Ariane works across the Pacte teams, with a shared mission of formalizing, pooling and monitoring methodological processes (monitoring, design, production, processing and analysis of quantitative and/or qualitative data) to meet researchers' needs in terms of methodological choices, techniques and feasibility.

This group of engineers brings together a diversity of specific and complementary skills:

  • Stéphanie Abrial (IR-CNRS) : survey design, questionnaires, qualitative data, discourse analysis, CAQDAS, training and education
  • Isabelle André-Poyaud (IR-CNRS) : quantitative data analysis, thematic mapping, survey design
  • Sandrine Astor (IE-IEPG) : survey engineering, quantitative data analysis, major international social surveys
  • Pierre Chiron (IE-CNRS) : qualitative methods, thematic analysis (CAQDAS), textual analysis (ADAO), programming (R)
  • Patrick Juen (IR-CNRS) : scientific information
  • Estelle Ployon (IE-CNRS) : géomatic, SIG 2D-3D, photogrammetry andimagery
  • Nicolas Robinet (IE-UGA) : géomatc, SIG
