      <title> Workshop et journée de recherche du projet ANR ETIC</title>
      <link>https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/lourim/news/workshop-et-journee-de-recherche-du-projet-anr-etic</link>
      <description>A l’initiative de la professeure Ingrid PONCIN, les 24 et 25 septembre 2026, plus de trente chercheurs issus des institutions partenaires du projet ANR ETIC (EffeTs des Images digitales sur les Consommateurs) se sont réunis pour deux journées d'échanges scientifiques consacrées aux effets des images digitales sur les consommateurs et les utilisateurs des réseaux sociaux.La première journée, réservée aux membres du consortium, a pris la forme d'un workshop de travail collaboratif centré sur les publications scientifiques en cours. Les équipes ont discuté des résultats déjà obtenus, confronté leurs approches théoriques et méthodologiques et défini les prochaines étapes du projet.La seconde journée a permis de présenter et de discuter plusieurs recherches en cours ainsi que des résultats préliminaires portant sur les conséquences des images publicitaires, promotionnelles et autoproduites dans les environnements numériques. Les échanges ont notamment abordé les effets des expositions répétées aux contenus visuels, les mécanismes de résistance des consommateurs, les émotions négatives suscitées par certains contenus et les comportements problématiques liés à l'usage des plateformes numériques.L'un des points forts du projet ETIC réside dans son approche résolument multidisciplinaire. En mobilisant les expertises du marketing, de la psychologie, de la sociologie et des neurosciences, le consortium cherche à mieux comprendre les mécanismes complexes par lesquels les images influencent les perceptions, les émotions et les comportements des individus.Au-delà du partage des résultats scientifiques, ces deux journées ont renforcé les collaborations entre chercheurs et fait émerger de nouvelles perspectives de recherche. Elles témoignent également de l'ambition du projet ETIC de produire des connaissances utiles tant pour la communauté scientifique que pour les acteurs publics et privés concernés par les enjeux du numérique.Dans un contexte où les images occupent une place centrale dans les interactions en ligne, le projet ETIC contribue à mieux comprendre leurs effets sur le bien-être et les comportements des individus afin de promouvoir des pratiques numériques plus responsables.ETIC ANR Project Workshop and Research DayAt the initiative of Professor Ingrid PONCIN, more than thirty researchers from the partner institutions involved in the ANR ETIC project (Effects of Digital Images on Consumers) came together on 24 and 25 September 2026 for two days of scientific exchange dedicated to the effects of digital images on consumers and social media users.The first day, reserved for consortium members, took the form of a collaborative workshop focusing on ongoing scientific publications. The teams discussed the results obtained to date, compared their theoretical and methodological approaches, and defined the next steps for the project.The second day provided an opportunity to present and discuss several ongoing research projects and preliminary findings on the consequences of advertising, promotional, and user-generated images in digital environments. Discussions focused in particular on the effects of repeated exposure to visual content, consumer resistance mechanisms, negative emotions triggered by certain types of content, and problematic behaviours associated with the use of digital platforms.One of the key strengths of the ETIC project lies in its strongly multidisciplinary approach. By bringing together expertise in marketing, psychology, sociology, and neuroscience, the consortium seeks to gain a better understanding of the complex mechanisms through which images influence individuals’ perceptions, emotions, and behaviours.Beyond sharing scientific findings, these two days strengthened collaboration among researchers and opened up new avenues for research. They also reflect the ETIC project’s ambition to generate knowledge that is valuable not only to the scientific community but also to public and private stakeholders dealing with the challenges of the digital environment.At a time when images play a central role in online interactions, the ETIC project contributes to a better understanding of their effects on individuals’ well-being and behaviours, with the aim of promoting more responsible digital practices.</description>

Founded in the heart of Europe in 1425, the university brings together 40,000 students and 6,000 staff members on nine campuses in Brussels and Wallonia. Research and education activities are organised in 20 faculties, 23 research institutes, 5 learning centres and 18 libraries. UCLouvain also has two university hospitals.</p><p>UCLouvain is a major player in the transition to a sustainable society.

Founded in the heart of Europe in 1425, the university brings together 40,000 students and 6,000 staff members on nine campuses in Brussels and Wallonia. Research and education activities are organised in 20 faculties, 23 research institutes, 5 learning centres and 18 libraries. UCLouvain also has two university hospitals.</p><p>UCLouvain is a major player in the transition to a sustainable society. The challenges of the ecological crisis are integrated into courses and the university develops numerous local projects (such as a university farm and sustainable campuses). As a digital university, UCLouvain is involved in open science and education, and trains academics in innovative teaching practices through its Louvain Learning Lab. Thanks to two science parks, the university’s research benefits from interaction with 250 companies and 3 incubators, which is fuelled further by being at the centre of a region driven by technological innovation.</p><p>UCLouvain has a strong tradition of international collaboration in both teaching and research. These partnerships take shape through numerous exchange agreements, its firm commitment to the European alliance Circle U. and the network The Guild, as well as the welcoming of a large community of international researchers, supported by the Louvain Welcome Desk.</p><p>The University's staff policy is based on five pairs of values which are fundamental pillars of the way the University operates, works and lives together: <a href="https://uclouvain.be/fr/emploi/politique-personnel.html">https://uclouvain.be/fr/emploi/politique-personnel.html</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p></div></div><div><div><h3><strong>Post description</strong></h3><p>Within the&nbsp;Louvain School of Management (LSM) and the&nbsp;Louvain Research Institute in Management and Organizations (LouRIM),&nbsp;Social Sciences and Humanities Sector, this position will include the following teaching, research and community service duties:<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><ul><li class="ck-list-marker-bold" data-list-item-id="eb72f374562a1701fcacb51d29ab564f0"><strong>Teaching&nbsp;</strong></li></ul><p>To train future decision-makers and managers to develop strategic thinking based on an in-depth understanding of economic behaviour and interactions between businesses. This approach must take into account the impact of public policies and regulations on strategic choices and organisational performance, particularly in the areas of competition, innovation, digital technology and sustainability.&nbsp;</p><p>As this is a dual-based position, split between Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons, you will teach at both sites and contribute to Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. You may also be required to undertake teaching duties during off-peak hours (HD). On each site, your presence will help to expand the capacity for Master thesis supervision and diversify teaching approaches, whilst ensuring a stronger interdisciplinary presence.&nbsp;</p><ul><li class="ck-list-marker-bold" data-list-item-id="e22ece2423e935eeb5ff3c87c6d88d102"><strong>Research</strong></li></ul><p>To strengthen research on contemporary economic dynamics by analyzing how firms cooperate, compete, and innovate in constantly evolving markets, while examining the impact of public policies and regulatory mechanisms—competition, environmental, digital, and innovation policies—on their strategies and transformations.&nbsp;</p><p>From a scientific perspective, the approaches developed will draw on economics, game theory, and strategic analysis. They will provide a robust analytical framework for managerial thinking by integrating the anticipatory and interdependent dynamics that characterize contemporary markets. They will also account for regulatory processes that shape the conditions under which firms operate and influence their strategic choices, and will offer a framework for understanding firm strategies shaped by major technological and societal transformations, including digitalization, the ecological transition, and innovation policies.&nbsp;</p><p>Research areas include, for example: (i) the effects of the ecological transition and climate policies on competition, sustainable business models, and market dynamics; (ii) the twin transition (digital and ecological) in a context of geopolitical fragmentation and its implications for firm strategies; (iii) the impact of digitalization and platforms on market power, innovation, and consumer protection; (iv) pro-innovation public policies; (v) interactions between firms, regulators, and stakeholders; and (vi) the use of advanced quantitative methods. Interdisciplinary research activities are encouraged at the LouRIM but may also be conducted in collaboration with other research institutes, as for instance the Louvain Institute of Data Analysis and Modeling in economics and statistics (LIDAM), which brings together a large community of economists.&nbsp;</p><ul><li class="ck-list-marker-bold" data-list-item-id="e749d98a2a272f4229f31ce5b29241e12"><strong>In addition …</strong></li></ul><p>Once tenured, you will carry out various service activities and responsibilities within the institution, such as being a member of a programme committee or examination committee or having management responsibilities within the faculty or research institute.&nbsp;</p><p>You will also contribute to serving society, particularly in the economic, social, cultural or development cooperation fields.
