The focal theme of the 8th STS Italia Conference will be
"Dis/Entangling Technoscience: Vulnerability, Responsibility and

biomedicine, digital platforms and media, work and organizations,
expertise and public policy, ethics of technology and innovation, and

Amsterdam); Dimitris Papadopoulos (University of Nottingham) and René
von Schomberg  (European Commission)

language) should be submitted by February, 9 to the conference email
