Aims and Objectives
To provide:
- A forum that enables the critical development of STS research across a diverse range of fields;

- A context in which interdisciplinary (inter)national networking can take place in order to encourage (inter)national research collaborations;
- An environment that seeks to safeguard independent STS scholarship in the face of cuts to the social sciences and humanities.
