Conference: 1314 June 2019

The field of science and technology studies (STS) has become increasingly
prominent in the Nordic countries. The purpose of the biennial Nordic STS
conference is to promote exchange of ideas and collaboration among STS
scholars by providing a regional forum for presenting on-going research,
networking, and initiating new ideas and conversations. The Nordic STS
conference has been organised since 2013, when the Centre for Technology,
Innovation and Culture/TIK at University of Oslo took the initiative of
organising the first conference.



The 4th Nordic STS conference will be held at Tampere University, Finland, in
