Scientific evidence for new innovation--such as shale gas exploitation, CCS, and HPV vaccination, nanotechnology, and synthetic biology--is often contested in society.
In this seminar, Jan Staman--who has been the Director of Rathenau Institute, the leading institution in the field of technology assessment in Europe, until last year--will discuss a wide range of recent developments on such topics as the nexus of science and society and contested science.
