The Epistemic Engineering Platform (EEP) is driven by a diverse group of scholars and innovators dedicated to transforming academic research and publishing.

The project is directed by a scientific council composed of representatives for each partner :

Raphaël Liogier – Aix-Marseille University

Raphaël Liogier is a Professor at Sciences Po Aix, part of Aix-Marseille University. His expertise spans philosophy, sociology, and global studies, with a keen interest in how cultural narratives shape societal structures. Liogier’s work on the evolution of belief systems and the impact of digital transformation on society provides EEP with critical perspectives on the cultural dimensions of academic publishing.

James Evans – University of Chicago

James Evans is a Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago. His research delves into how social and technical institutions shape knowledge creation, sharing, and credibility. Evans has extensively studied the influence of AI on scientific discovery and the dynamics of open science. His insights are instrumental in guiding EEP’s integration of AI-driven tools to enhance scholarly communication.

Bernard Harcourt – Columbia University

Bernard Harcourt is the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Columbia University. As a contemporary critical theorist and legal advocate, his work focuses on social justice, critical theory, and the impact of legal institutions on society. Harcourt’s leadership in initiatives like the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought brings a profound understanding of the intersections between law, society, and knowledge dissemination to EEP.

Saâd Tazi – Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P)

Saâd Tazi is a mission officer at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Morocco. With a background in sociology, philosophy, and political anthropology, Tazi emphasizes the importance of understanding transitions—be they climatic, energetic, demographic, or political—for effective action. His focus on the consciousness of these transitions is essential for EEP’s mission to adapt academic publishing to contemporary global challenges.

The project is also composed of a development team in charge of day to day project management of the various projects which includes the 1337 Team.


Together, this team combines a wealth of knowledge and experience across disciplines, driving the Epistemic Engineering Platform’s mission to revolutionize academic research and publishing.
