Get to know our current fellows and gain an impression of their research. In a new series of short videos, we asked them to introduce themselves, talk about their work at c:o/re and the research questions that fascinate them.
In this video, Harro van Lente, professor of science and technology studies (STS) at Maastricht University, presents his research on the role of promises and expectations in science and technology. He explores the notion of epistemic imaginaries, desirable outcomes within a field of research, how they influence scientists and institutions in deciding their disciplinary direction, and how they are changing in the face of current challenges such as climate change and globalization.
