The Mooc was produced at the instigation of the Direction du numérique pour l'éducation (DNE) with co-financing from DNE-Inria. It is the result of a Class'Code / Inria partnership. It is free and available on Fun-Mooc :  https://www.fun-mooc.fr/en/courses/environmental-impacts-of-digital-technologies/ (French version:  https://www.fun-mooc.fr/fr/cours/impacts-environnementaux-du-numerique/)
Summary: The video approaches research as a science under construction, which needs data, the means to process them and time to analyse them. On the one hand, we have scientific or technical knowledge that is being constructed and stabilised, and on the other hand, we have legitimate questions from citizens or politicians, but which mix ethical and moral considerations, which can provoke what is known as a "socio-technical controversy". Hence the need to open up to society and public debate.
