DPCT

The CIRIS study group - Governance, Risk and Communication - involves an interdisciplinary core of research and critical reflection on the interactions between science, expertise, risk, communication and decision-making processes. This research group develops theoretical and empirical studies centered on four analytical axes: (i) Risks, uncertainties and crises; (ii) Production, circulation and usability of knowledge; (iii) Communication, discursive frameworks and information flows; (iv) Governance of science and technology.

The NuPHiTT Group promotes reflections through the interaction between History, Technology and Territory, understanding them within their broad economic and social aspects. Interdisciplinary in its essence, the group houses Scientific Initiation and Postgraduate students with diverse training, with distinct and complementary analytical approaches, stimulating dialogue with other national and international research groups

The Social Studies Group of Science and Technology of UNICAMP's DPCT, created in 1995, is composed of a multidisciplinary team oriented towards understanding the relationships between scientific facts, technological artifacts, public policies and the social, historical, material and cultural contexts in which this knowledge is developed and put into operation. The research carried out aims to analyze, qualitatively and quantitatively, the different forms of production and use of scientific and technological knowledge, their validation, dissemination and cooperation.
