A New Partnership with Toyota, a New Step in the Development of the FFJ
Sébastien Lechevalier, Président de la Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS
Sébastien Lechevalier, Président de la Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS
Toyota Motor Corporation and the EHESS concluded a new partnership to reinforce our joint engagement in understanding and designing the mobility of the future and its social infrastructure. The Research Chair «Future Transportation System and Infrastructure in Europe and in Emerging Countries» was established in April 2017 for a period of 5 years until 2022. Its objective is to build effective research frameworks on future changes in the transportation sector with the horizon of 2030-2050, in the line of Toyota’s commitment in innovating products and systems, and growing in a sustainable way that is beneficial for the company, the environment and society as a whole. The project is aimed at conducting surveys on past, present and future societies in mobility and in infrastructure. From the point of view of the development of the France-Japan Foundation of the EHESS, this partnership marks a real turning point because it is the first chair of CEAFJP funded by a Japanese company, Toyota Motor Corporation becoming one of our major strategic Japanese partners after the signing of the memorandum concluded between the Japan Science and Technology Agency and the EHESS in June 2015. We hope that other Japanese public institutions and industry stakeholders will soon join our consortium.
From a scientific point of view, the creation of this chair aims to enlarge our collaborative networks at European level and to reinforce a multidisciplinary perspective mobilizing researchers in the field of archeology, cognitive sciences, demography, design, economics, history, linguistics, management studies, science and technology studies and sociology. This initiative already involves the members of the EHESS, of the CNRS and of the PSL Research University as well as European partner institutions. We are considering many pathways, conventional and alternatives technologies, new mobility business models, various policy types, and people’s behavior in these evolving dynamics. Our research project covers several major subtopics such as youth mobility, urbanization in the developing cities of Africa, new technology for people with reduced mobility, and the implications of artificial intelligence. With this end in mind, some open questions still need to be addressed. You are welcome to take part in this endeavour with us.

Launch of GRIPS-CSIS-EHESS «Asia-Euro Policy Dialogue» website.
LAsia-Euro Policy Dialogue (AEPD) is the global policy research project, which aims to encourage exchanges among ASEAN countries, Europe and Japan on Southeast Asia’s current reality and beyond.
This project attempts to increase awareness on the political and economic significance of Southeast Asia in the international community and also to further operationalize the policy lessons for the sake of ASEAN countries by means of sharing such experiences and knowledges that Europe and Japan has gained in the past.
The consortium is commposed: GRIPS Alliance (Japan), CSIS (Indenesia), EHESS (France), and financed by Japan Foundation.
e held in Jakarta Indonesia.The purpose of the Forum is to provide an opportunity for prominent researchers and policy-makers to exchange views and opinions on the variety of policy areas and disseminate widely such views and opinions in order to contribute to better understanding of the region and to provide concrete inputs to policy making in Southeast Asia, Europe and Japan. There will be participants from Southeast Asia, Europe, and Japan, as well as regional partners such as China, Australia and United States.

EHESS Has Moved New Headquarters to 54 boulevard Rapsail /
The EHESS moved its headquarters to 54, boulevard Raspail, 75006, Paris FRANCE. Since the early 1970s, the EHESS was housed at 54 Boulevard Raspail in Paris, in the same building as the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, founded by Fernand Braudel. From the very beginning, it was the seat of a number of influential research centers that provided an intellectual home for some of the greatest historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers of the time including: Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida, François Furet, Françoise Hértier, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jean-Pierre Vernant.

This article proposes the selection model of optimal powertrain for usage conditions especially between Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICE vehicles) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), which is possible “Disruptive Innovation” stated by Christensen (1997). Using the statistics provided by official data of Japan, author estimated the average of actual maximum driving range of ICE vehicle currently sold. The analysis revealed that the actual fuel efficiency and maximum driving range of ICE vehicles is much lower than nominal one published by OEMs. After that, citing two cases of Japan, author examines the fit between the usage pattern and the choice of power train.

Discussing these cases and analysis, the author conclude that that the driving range of BEV dose not solely matter for optimal choice of powertrain. Rather, the driving range and the fit between usage patterns and the availability of “charging place” jointly affect to the optimal choice.
