STSItalia (www.stsitalia.org), the scientific society promoting the Social Study of Science and Technology (STS) in Italy, has been a partner of By Design or By Disaster since the beginning. The role and use of artefacts in order to promote and implement different social relations that comprise not just humans but also what we consider “natural” elements – what is actually at stake in our Hand-On Conference – is indeed an issue that gathers many aspects of STS’ researches.
In order to foster the participation of social scientist in the workshops, STSItalia has decided to offer two scholarships, each covering registration, travel and lodging costs up to € 150 for two of its members.
