About Us

There are no environments or societies that have not been touched and changed by science and technology. The mission of the Institute for Science and Society (ISS) is to produce transdisciplinary studies of the intricate links between scientific research, technological innovation and the social and material worlds we live in. We aim to change how we understand science and technology and how we intervene in their making.

Beyond conducting innovative high-quality research, ISS is strongly committed to supporting postgraduate research students, early career researchers and to providing specialised training across the School of Sociology and Social Policy and other schools within the University of Nottingham.

The members of the institute have close connections to other University of Nottingham's researchers across the natural sciences, engineering, health sciences and veterinary sciences.
