Summary

This laboratory aims to strengthen the information and understanding of digital uses and guide public policies

The objective of the Digital Society Program is to make the opportunities offered by digital technology accessible to all citizens. Beyond the lack of mastery of tools, one of the main obstacles is the lack of confidence in digital technology. This trust requires a better understanding and adaptation of public policies to citizens' expectations.

In this context, Axelle LEMAIRE asked the Digital Agency to set up a collaborative tool, a workspace, intended to objectify digital developments, by providing detailed and scientific information (studies, indicators, analysis notes, etc.), from a wide range of actors. She announced the launch of this "Laboratory of analysis and deciphering of digital". This collaborative dimension is manifested by the following elements:

The realization of barometers in connection with public and private partners,
The possibility for any citizen or structure to propose analyses or data to be published in this laboratory.

This tool combines two approaches:

An aggregation of data and knowledge on the uses, practices and expectations related to digital technology: it aggregates existing data and surveys conducted by the Agence du Numérique with third parties. In this context, it has joined Arcep and the CGE in producing the digital barometer to include questions on dematerialization. Next survey: the Agence du Numérique is launching a new survey entitled "Numérique et empowerment" in partnership with the scientific interest group M@rsouin, France's representative in the World Internet Project. The survey's questionnaire will include the common questions of this international university research project on digital technology, which brings together some thirty countries on all continents, thus enabling international comparisons.This new survey - implemented in partnership with the FING consortium, Télécom Bretagne and the University of Rennes as part of the Capacity research project - focuses in particular on the realities of empowerment in the digital age, i.e. on the potential of the digital society to distribute individual and collective capacity to act more equally.The results of this survey conducted by the Kantar TNS institute will be published in February 2017. The results of this survey, conducted by Kantar TNS, will be published in February 2017. They should help define the conditions under which digital empowerment can emerge for the greatest number of people, and thus provide keys to action for public and private players in digital innovation to design "empowering" public policies and digital environments that seek to develop the power to act of citizens and strengthen social ties.
To propose a decoding of digital issues: beyond the aggregation of data, this Laboratory gives rise to the publication of analyses and news articles allowing to understand, to make more intelligible, the knowledge on the digital.

Particular attention will be paid to the openness of the data from the surveys carried out by this laboratory. Moreover, the contents published on the laboratory's website are made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International License.

By enabling a better assessment and understanding of the transformations linked to digital technology, this Laboratory is intended to be a decision-making tool for both public authorities and private players.
