The Centre for Science, Technology, and Society Studies conducts systematic
interdisciplinary research into mutual relationships of science,
technology, and society. Research is based on the broad theoretical
background of philosophy, economy, and sociology (of science and
technology), innovation studies, science policy studies, and
technology assessment. At present, research is focused
on several fundamental thematic areas. The changes in the current
forms of knowledge production are followed in the form of
theoretical analysis. Those changes comprises higher rate of social
accountability of knowledge, more emphasis on its economic
application, increasing heterogeneity of its resources, the problem
of evaluation, more stress on social and cultural values applied in
research programmes. The emerging knowledge society is being
analysed from the viewpoint of transformation of science and
research.
