Conference: Presentation of the Results of the Baromètre CIRANO 2018

CIRANO

Tuesday 19 Jun 2018
From 11:30AM To 2PM

Whether we discuss transportation infrastructures, retirement income, floods, NAFTA’s renegotiation, Internet’s data confidentiality, access to health services, GMO utilization, food fraud, public-private partnership projects, school dropout, a great number of subjects are causes for worries.

What are the main concerns for Quebecers? What are the projects and issues perceived as the riskiest? What about the level of trust towards public authorities? These questions and many more have been submitted to Quebecers since 2011 by way of CIRANO’s Barometer which collates the results of the annual surveys submitted to a sample of 1000 people representing the Quebec population.

The two co-authors, Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin, Full Professor at Polytechnique Montréal and President and CEO of CIRANO, and Ingrid Peignier, Projects and Communications and Partner Relations Director at CIRANO, unveiled the results of the 2018 edition of Baromètre CIRANO during this conference. This latest edition presented the population perceptions on 47 issues which are grouped under 10 major themes: natural risks, environmental risks and those associated with energetic ressources, industrial risks, risks associated with technological innovations, public health risks, risks associated with the health system, security risks, transportation infrastructure risks, economic and financial risks and, finally, risks associated with public projects management. Comparative analysis covering the last 7 years also presented.

Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin

A CIRANO Researcher and Fellow since 2003, Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin has been President and Chief Executive Officer of CIRANO since 2016, has been leading the Baromètre CIRANO project on risk perception in Quebec, which annually collects data on Quebecers' concerns on 47 social issues since 2011, is responsible of the CIRANO Pole on the Socio-economic Impacts of Digital Intelligence and Main Researcher of the theme Innovation and Digital Transformation. Nathalie de Marcellis-Warin is Full Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Industrial Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. She is also a Visiting Scientist at Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health and an associate researcher at the Institute for Data Valorization (IVADO).

Holding a Ph.D. in Management Science (in risks and insurance management) from École normale supérieure de Cachan, her research interests focus on risk management and decision-making in different risks and uncertainty contexts as well as public policies. Her research combines economic analysis, cost-benefit analysis, survey data analysis, and more recently massive unstructured data analysis.

In 2008 she created the RISQH network to raise awareness and share experiences on risks management, and patient safety and quality of care in health care facilities.

She participated in the creation of the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of AI.

She is also co-PI of the "Monitoring and Surveys" function at the International Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technology.

She has published numerous scientific articles, several books and more than 30 reports for government and other organizations. She has given more than a hundred conferences and is regularly solicited to speak in the media.
