This seminar is a multidisciplinary research seminar organized jointly by several disciplines and research units across the university. The seminar runs yearly with four one-day seminar events held each academic year. The seminar brings together junior to senior researchers, PhD students, and advanced level students to discuss and develop the field of science and technology studies (STS). Students preparing their Master’s or Doctoral thesis can participate in the seminar, present their own research, and acquire credits for the Science and Technology study module by preparing an essay based on the seminar.
