Michèle Duzert was, during her career, a guest professor at the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce in Rennes (France) and a professor at the Centre National d’Enseignement à Distance (France). She has focused her educational developments around the creative dynamics of the lived experience. Introducing her students, through “collaborative exhibitions”, to the Art of Knowing in order to develop within them an autonomy resulting from a confrontation with the unknown, with the other, with oneself, and allow them to become “Pioneer managers”. Director, producer and author of a film selected in 1993 at the Palaiseau International Scientific Film Festival and the Biarritz Management Communication Film "Le cercle créatif dans l’entreprise", she was inspired by her many encounters and collaborations with Francisco Varela, to publish in 2016 a book on autonomy entitled “Vivre ensemble son autonomie” published by Harmattan. Striving tirelessly on the path of learning, Michèle Duzert is now working on writing new writings.

My work and publications fall within the paradigm of enaction.

Dr. Miguel Nicolelis is the Duke School of Medicine Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience, Professor of Neurobiology, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology and Neuroscience, and founder of Duke's Center for Neuroengineering. He is founder and Scientific Director of the Edmond and Lily Safra International Institute for Neuroscience of Natal; and founder of the Walk Again Project, an international consortium of scientists/engineers, dedicated to developing an exoskeleton device to assist paralyzed patients in regaining their mobility.
As a world-renowned leader in understanding the physiological principles that govern mammalian brain circuits, their dynamics and plastic potential in freely behaving animals, Dr. Nicolelis worked to integrate this knowledge with a variety of engineering and computer science tools to create a new paradigm - brain-machine interfaces - which launched the field of neuroengineering.
Dr. Nicolelis led the creation of a new generation of neuroprosthetic devices which will likely change the future face of clinical neurology and neurosurgery.

A former student of the École normale supérieure de Rennes (Sports Sciences and Physical Education department), Matthieu Quidu is associate professor of PE at the ENS de Lyon.

Jacques Theureau, former researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), now retired, received training in engineering, but also in economics and statistics, then in physiology of work and ergonomics. Since 1987, he initiated and developed, with other researchers and practitioners, a so-called "course of action" research program, which is part of the enaction paradigm. and added several theoretical hypotheses and heuristic means, in order to contribute to the analysis of human activities and to the engineering of situations in all their generality. He has published several books and numerous journal articles and book chapters, in French, English, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish (see the list of publications and a choice of downloadable texts on the site www.coursdaction.fr).

His research interests span philosophy and history of science, epistemology, phenomenology, and Buddhist philosophy. He translated several articles and books from these fields to Slovene, including, among others, The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James, and The Embodied Mind by Francisco Varela, Evan Thompson, and Eleanor Rosch. In addition, he authored Podobe neupodobljivega (The Images of the Unimaginable), in which he addresses mystical experiences from neuroscientific, phenomenological, and epistemological perspectives to uncover new ways to study them. He is also the head of the institute-in-the-making Metanoia, in the context of which he is currently hosting a seminar series on the life and work of Francisco Varela.
