Type: University
Country: Norway
Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (SVT) is an interfaculty at the University of Bergen, Norway. The Centre has 30 years of experience performing interdisciplinary research on science and technology, and teaching theory of science and ethics at all levels at the University of Bergen. Its research activities are characterised by the interdisciplinary combination of philosophy and history of science, STS and science ethics/bioethics, risk and complexity theory. Specific fields of research are emerging and converging technologies, precautionary risk governance, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), food, energy, security and climate change, ethics and integrity, focusing on governance aspects on the intersections of science, technology and governance. Central to the SVT approach is the concept of double competence: all our scholars are able to understand from the inside what is going on in the field they study and are philosophically informed about, and be able to critically reflect on and cope with, the epistemic and normative presuppositions of their own approach and their field of research.
