Scientific and technological developments play a crucial role in how we live in modern societies, and in how we imagine societal futures. At the same time, social values, political agendas or economic logics influence how scientific research is conducted and technological artifacts are designed. Science, technology and society are hence inextricably interrelated. This constitutes the object of research of the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS).
After a presentation of the program director, there will be opportunities for informal interaction with current students of the master programme.
WHEN: 08 March 2018, 18:30-20:00
