This call for papers questions the practices and challenges of big data not in terms of technological performance but in the novelty of the methods of apprehending European and global realities.

Access to data of all kinds is considered a major challenge for the coming years by states, health practitioners, economists, managers, historians and many other areas interested in this information

Data that has always been a valuable element of understanding situations becomes more readily available, is collected in large numbers and stored in computers or on "clouds". The challenges of "big data" result in their ability to process them in order to better understand, model and even master a situation and then predict the future.

All business sectors are impacted by the influx of available data. Big data can be used by companies to better understand the purchasing behavior of their customers, the lifestyle and recruitment behaviors of their employees.

1. Europe and big data:

Europe wants to protect its citizens with the establishment of the RGPD (General Regulation on Data Protection) which grants rights to the rectification of data, the right to be forgotten, the right to portability, the right opposition and the right of access to data by interested parties.

Will the RGPD directive slow down developments in artificial intelligence whose main support lies in the volume and diversity of stored data? How does the treatment of this amount of information influence the policies of European and / or non-European countries? What intentions guide the treatment of these data, by the actors? How do citizens take ownership of these new control opportunities?

2. Big Data and Businesses

Companies realize that their customers' data reflects buying or satisfaction behaviors that they want to inspire to maintain a loyalty that is compromised by the different buying channels offered to their customers. The GAFAs (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple) who are able to collect large volumes of data, whether it is identity information but also information on the behavior of action, become major players on the economic scenes because of the amount of data that can be mobilized. Big data is increasingly becoming part of business decision-making processes, especially when situations are judged to be at risk.

3.Territories and big data

Information gathering technologies, such as facial recognition, access to information through cameras or other tools, collect information and provide access to security. How do cities and territories use this information in a positive and negative way, risks and contributions of using “big data” ?

4.  Individuals, social groups and big data

Internet configures access to information so that "everyone can see everyone". The differences are displayed. This is how rich people see people in poverty and see them as rich people. The personal stories of individuals are exposed in an environment where other personal stories confront each other. The individual gives himself to see with his complexity, his living environment and his motivations to act. Communities come together, work together, network and influence political and economic orientations. What roles and powers do these communities and social groups play in political, social and even personal orientations?

Big data can be used by the EU, states and local authorities in managing countries, territories and cities by analyzing a large volume of data, predicting risks and remobilising information after an event to analyze the causes and effects. They ask questions of an economic, ethical and legal nature.

They have an impact on the behavior of individuals and social groups. There is no doubt that sociology, political science and history are impacted in the access to and processing of data for scientific purposes.
