Presentation

Cathy GROSJEAN is a lecturer and researcher at the Université Catholique de Lyon, where she is a member of the CONFLUENCE: Sciences et Humanités research unit (EA 1598). Her work focuses on environmental transitions, in particular the value of biomimicry as a tool for societal innovation and a lever for changing imaginations.

She is also director of ESQESE, a school of higher education focusing on environmental transitions and QSE.
