MA SOCIETY, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN EUROPE, 1 year full-time
  
  The central aim of this degree is to train a new generation of 
researchers, policy-makers and managers who will have a better 
understanding of the relationships between science, technology and 
society (STS) and the expertise to address the related problems that 
face Europe and the world.  This course has been designed in 
cooperation with ten other universities, and receives financial 
support from the European Union.

All students follow a common first semester at their home 
institution, focusing on key concepts and debates in the STS field.  
In the second semester, each participating university offers 
specialist training based on its own research strengths.  Students 
can choose to spend the second semester and the summer months at any 
of the participating universities where they will follow a short 
taught course and then prepare a dissertation.

In total, there are sixteen specialist subjects offered by eleven 
universities:
* Gender, science & technology (UEL)
* Europe in an Information Society (UEL)
* Science, technology & innovation in an historical perspective (Bari)
* Cities, territories & technology (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de 
Lausanne)
* Technological culture (Limburg)
* Economics of technological change (Limburg)
* Risk management (Louvain-la-Neuve)
* Biotechnologies (Louvain-la-Neuve)
* Management of innovation (Madrid)
* Legal & technical aspects of new information and communication 
technologies (Namur)
* Technology assessment (Namur)
* The making of science & technology policy (Oslo)
* Science, technology & the public (Strasbourg)
* Production systems, innovation and development models (Roskilde)
* Science, technology & industry-academic relationships (Pais Vasco)

Applications for 1996-97 are welcome from people with a good degree 
in any academic discipline with an interest in the subject matter.  
Knowledge of English is essential.  Knowledge of another European 
language would be an advantage.
