Twente

University of Twente Faculty Management, Behavioral and Social Sciences (BMS) ​Member since 2016

The University of Twente (UT) works on the technologies of the future (ICT, biotechnology, nanotechnology), combining technological knowledge and innovation with social, behavioural and humanities research. Our researchers focus on responsible innovation in areas with a large societal impact: health, water, energy, safety and education. UT’s School of Behavioural, Management and Social Science (BMS) has conducted a number of major RI-related national and international research projects funded by the European Commission, the Dutch Research Council and others addressing governance, practices, socio-technical scenarios and design for responsible innovation (projects include Res-AGorA; Responsible Innovation in Nanotechnology; CTA Toolbox; Telecare at home; SATORI; Responsible Industry; Responsible early diagnostics for Alzheimer’s disease) . Stefan Kuhlmann is lead author of the recently published “Responsibility Navigator” (http://responsibility-navigator.eu/).

VIRI Leader Professor Stefan Kuhlmann is Professor of Science, Technology, and Society and Department Chair of Science, Technology, & Policy Studies (STəPS).
