Knowledge & Organization Research Seminars at the Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration
Speaker: Prof. Andrew Webster (University of York)
Topic: Understanding innovative health technologies: where does their
novelty lie?
Date: Thursday, November 24, 2005, 11:00 ? 12:30
Venue: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Room S201
Abstract of the talk:
This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the national
program Professor Webster directs on Innovative Health Technologies as
this comes to its conclusion, to give a sense of some of the key results
that have been recently published. Following on from that, he explores the
meaning of novelty in medical technologies and how this can be understood
from a sociology of science perspective.
Professor Andrew Webster is Director of the Science and Technology Studies
Unit (SATSU), University of York and Head of Department of Sociology.
SATSU undertakes research on the social and cultural implications of
science and technology. His research interests are in the areas of the
sociology of science and technology, science policy studies, innovative
health technologies and their use, the sociology of innovation, the
commercialisation of research, and technology foresight. He is currently
undertaking externally funded research on stem cells and the
implementation of pharmacogenetics and public confidence in informatics
systems. He also has an interest in relating health technology to context
of use and the spatial setting in which this occurs, which has led to work
on ICTs, ageing and the built environment.
