On February 28th, the launch event for the Catalan Association for Science and Technology Studies (STS-CAT) took place in Barcelona. During the first session, Prof. Wiebe Bijker, as the keynote speaker, delivered a talk on the current social relevance and usefulness of STS, with a particular focus on recent international political developments. The second session featured a roundtable discussion where various STS researchers shared their experiences applying STS in non-academic fields, such as science policy, disaster management, technology regulation, and social activism. Finally, Dr. Miquel Domènech, a founding member of STS-CAT, concluded the event with a presentation outlining the association’s core objectives and the context of its creation.
