Partners

This doctoral work is being conducted as part of a partnership between the GEOLOC laboratory at Gustave Eiffel University and the Mira Foundation.
The project thus lies at the intersection of scientific research, mobility analysis and field expertise in the field of guide dogs.
The Mira Foundation is a non-profit organisation founded in 1981. It is recognised as the first French-speaking school in Canada to offer a guide dog programme. 
Its mission is to provide free guide dogs and assistance dogs to people living with visual or motor impairments, as well as to young people with autism spectrum disorder. As part of the DOGMATICS project, this partnership provides essential practical application, linking the scientific challenges of analysing gait, trajectories and interactions to the concrete practices of matching guide dogs with beneficiaries.
