<br>fosters within Europe the scholarly study of science and technology
<br>including their historical development and their role in society. It
<br>seeks to improve scholarly communication and exchange in the field, to
<br>increase the visibility of the subject to policy-makers and to the
<br>general public and to stimulate and support teaching on the subject at
<br>all levels.

<br>developments. The Council is centrally involved in organizing the EASST
<br>conferences, nominating candidates for awards, supporting students, and
<br>supporting local or regional STS-events. The Council also monitors and

<br>Council meets regularly with national STS associations and represents
<br>the interests of its members in European research politics.
