Nicolas Sauret is a PhD candidate at University of Montreal and at the University Paris X. His research at the Canada Research Chair in Digital Textualities focuses on digital edition and publishing and its impact on the production and dissemination of knowledge. By combining theory, design and making, his PhD research intersects with his work at the Institut de recherche et d'innovation du Centre Pompidou (IRI) as a research engineer and project manager (2009-2016).

Since 2011, at IRI and now at the Digital Textualities lab, he co-organises the international conference Écritures numériques et éditorialisation, in collaboration with the journal Sens Public and the Dicen-IDF lab.
