In this context, he develops several Chairs including the Chair for Innovation in Services.

In 2012, he creates the iMagination Center whose activities are centered on imagination, innovation and transdisciplinarity for responsible innovation.

In 2014, he is appointed President of the evaluation commission “Innovation-Regulation-Governance” of the French National Agency for Research as part of Horizon 2020. 

His years spent in Asia have helped him to focus his research on responsible innovation with a look beyond the European framework. This has notably resulted in the development of several cases around responsible innovation with NGOs, whether in the Philippines (Gawad Kalinga), Cambodia (Pour un Sourire d'Enfant et Passerelles Numériques), Malaysia (Dignity). and in India (Auroville).
