The University of Bergen (UiB) is a public (state) university and Norway’s second largest. The responsible department at UiB in this project is the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities (SVT). SVT is characterised by the interdisciplinary combination of Science and Technology Studies and science ethics/bioethics, philosophy and history of science, risk and complexity theory, in many cases also in transdisciplinary dialogue with practicing scientists, decision-makers and citizens. SVT undertakes research into the fields of emerging and converging technologies, food, energy and climate change, focusing on governance aspects on the intersections of science, technology and governance, and has coordinated a number of interdisciplinary research projects, including 3 FP7-Science-in-Society collaborative research projects, and participated in numerous other projects funded by FP7 and other sources. A hallmark is also the ways in which its research seeks to bridge gaps between theoretical and practical knowledge. SVT’s expertise guarantees research excellence in all aspects of the science-policy interface, including risk and uncertainty assessment and knowledge assessment, good governance and participatory methods.
