Vincent Meyer is Professor of Information and Communication Sciences at the University of Cote d’Azur and the Mediterranean Institute of Risk, Environment and Sustainable Development (IMREDD), where he is currently leading research on the acceptability of technology innovation in the social sector.

In his presentation, Mr Meyer will help us understand better how digital transition is having an impact on social services professionals, particularly in relation to their training and management, and how this impact challenges synergies between care and technology.

Drawing on his current projects, Mr Meyer will address the key question of up to which point will professionals accept to transfer human competences to non-human devices, or what will be the future social acceptability of technology solutions for people with long-term care conditions and the professionals who support and care for them.
