Dear colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to our symposium:
‘Fusion Research Through the Eyes of Social Scientists and Humanities
Scholars’
June 18th 2021, 1.30pm – 6pm CET
The symposium will explore perspectives from the social sciences and
humanities on nuclear fusion research— ranging from the history of fusion
technology to the organisation of big science projects, and from the
techno-economical side of fusion energy to the role of science diplomacy in
fusion research.
We welcome fusion researchers, social scientists and humanities scholars to
join a conversation about what we can learn from each other’s fields and
experiences, and reflect on key discussions within and about fusion
research.
The symposium is centred around seven sessions exploring different
perspectives on fusion research. We are glad to announce the contributions
of:
- Prof. Dr. Niek Lopes Cardozo, TU/E | The techno-economic aspects of
fusion
- Prof. Dr. Gregor Schiemann, BU Wuppertal | Philosophical, historical
and sociological perspectives on the activities of the LHC
- Prof. Dr. Ir. Behnam Taebi, TU Delft | Nuclear ethics: its past,
present and futures!
- Dr. Mark Robinson, University of London | Science diplomacy
perspective on nuclear fusion collaboration
- Dr. Robert Bud, Science Museum London | Public technology and a
historical perspective on nuclear fusion, with response from Michiel
Bron MSc, Maastricht University.
