BONHEURS - Well-being, Organisation, Digital technology, Habitability, Education, Universality, Relationships, Knowledge
The BONHEURS laboratory is a host team that was set up in January 2018 and inaugurated with a research show on 22 May 2018. The laboratory was conceived as a learning organisation to engage with both local and international students and structured around partnership-based chairs. It has 74 members specialising in education and digital sciences, planning and civil engineering, educational researchers, sociologists and historians.

Activities
Research topics
With the support of the TechsoLab Open Lab, the laboratory explores all the dimensions of the concept of “happiness” for individuals in their social context: material, spatial and relational well-being, prospects for emancipation, “power to act” in organisations, institutions and societies. It investigates which organisational frameworks can offer conditions of well-being that are acceptable to institutions and primarily education and training organisations. How can individuals and institutions co-construct these frameworks? What theoretical, methodological or material tools do they need?
The originality of its approach consists theoretically in thinking about happiness through relationships and methodologically in reflecting on the engineering of happiness within the framework of a learning society, which can act through the active collaboration of its members. These engineering techniques are tools aimed at testing the conditions for achieving happiness in order to make it intelligible.
The BONHEURS laboratory and Techsolab are part of the Paris Seine Excellence Initiative and comply with the objectives and resources agreement signed with the university.

The BONHEURS laboratory and Techsolab are part of the Paris Seine Excellence Initiative and comply with the objectives and resources agreement signed with the university.
The engineering of happiness is designed around two areas:
- Inclusion and interstices in learning organisations and societies
- Innovations, knowledge and training in learning organisations and societies

Main equipment and services provided
TechsoLab is one of the Open Labs of the Université de Cergy-Pontoise. It focuses on experimental and innovative research on school and university education in an instrumented context. This Open Lab has the dual objective of developing research likely to lead to publications in French and international journals, and to offer expertise and training backed by research to institutions, communities and companies.
Service provisions
The assessments carried out by our laboratory are linked to our research issues.
- Digital technologies in education: distance teaching, digital work environments (DWE), mobile and tactile tools or any other computerised device used in a training or teaching-learning context. The studies may be carried out in both experimental and ecological environments. The services may relate to needs analyses, the production of specifications, project management assistance, etc. In addition, the TechsoLab Open Lab may be made available for research activities of an experimental and innovative nature on school and university education in an instrumented context.
