description This paper echoes the recurrent debates on the relationship between research and practice in ergonomics. It proposes to show that these debates can enhance progress in the various fields of the discipline. Firstly, the various categories of ergonomic knowlege are characterised according to their origins and their contribution to field operations. Secondly, light is shed on knowledge acquired by each practitioner through his personal experience. Thirdly the producing conditions of new knowledge in the course of ergonomic operations and the means of their capitalisation are examined. The conclusion draws some guidelines for further reflections and suggests several ways to overcome the present difficulties and work towards a better cooperation between the various actors of ergonomics
