PI Dr. James Cuffe attended the STS Lab Summer School discussing key themes of innovation: “Probing Innovation: Prospecting, Valuing, and Negotiating F®ictions”, organized by the STS Lab - Laboratoire d'étude des sciences et des techniques, University of Lausanne, from 6 to 9 June, 2023. This was an excellent week and well done to Marc Audetát and Pauline Blaser and all for the organisational efforts that went into creating the week. Great network with such interesting work being done in pharmaceuticals, with approachs and patterns that speak to a multitude of topics. Great food for thought from the week. From the blurb:
The 1st STS Lab Summer School, held at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) from 6 to 9 June 2023, will be Probing Innovation by bringing together leading scholars and upcoming researchers, thus offering a forum for engaged discussion and critical reflection on "innovation" and its multiple aspects, including the prospects, values, facts, and f®ictions (Lowenhaupt Tsing 2005, 2020) at play in empirical cases, the "registered trademark" sign indicating one recurring friction, between private and public interests – others are to be added (e.g., between R&D and PR, if not "fact"and "fiction"), depending upon field, STS interest, and approach.Invited speakers included:
• Susi Geiger, University College Dublin• Hyo Yoon Kang, University of Warwick• Paolo Magaudda, University of Padova• Brice Laurent, Mines Paris• Tanja Schneider, University of St.Gallen
