How can electronics be made more sustainable, how to recognize misleading environmental claims, and how to live and work better together while facing the challenges of ecological transition? These questions animated a half-day event dedicated to Sustainable Development and CSR at Grenoble INP – Phelma, through four complementary proposals: conferences, serious games, and participatory workshops.
The conference "Can Electronics Be Sustainable?", led by Pascal Xavier, a teacher-researcher at the CROMA laboratory, provided an overview of the electronics sector's impacts and explored strategies for designing more virtuous electronic systems, using examples from the Grenoble region.
The "Vert-Dict" workshop, led by teams from IRT Nanoelec and GreenChips-EDU, offered a serious game where participants acted as investigators to verify the reliability of companies' ecological commitments, helping to distinguish genuine sustainable practices from greenwashing.
The "Included: What if we played to work better together?" workshop, led by Dorina Papanastasiou, a teacher-researcher at Grenoble INP – Phelma, UGA, focused on quality of life and working conditions through a serious game addressing equality, disability, discrimination, and work-life balance.
Finally, the "Emotion Management: From Eco-Anxious to Eco-Happy and Cooperation" workshop, led by Fanny Poinsotte, a teacher at Grenoble INP – Phelma, UGA, explored the emotional dimension of the socio-ecological transition, offering tools to manage eco-anxiety and find resources.
These four sessions addressed sustainable development from technological, environmental, human, and collective perspectives, providing staff at Grenoble INP – Phelma, UGA with concrete avenues for evolving practices.
