Dear colleagues,
With Emilie Cloatre (Kent Law School), I'm organising an event in London on the 6th October at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre (Euston) for our AHRC project on 'Technoscience, Law and Society'. Please see below for details.
In this workshop, we seek to discuss the role of think-tanks and non-departmental public bodies in governing the development and use of bioscience. We're delighted that Joanna Chataway (RAND Europe), Jack Stilgoe (UCL), and Hugh Whittall (Nuffield Council on Bioethics) will be giving talks, with Jane Calvert (U. Edinburgh) providing both concluding reflections and provocations for wider discussion. Patrick Middleton of the BBSRC has kindly agreed to provide some framing comments at the beginning of the day. Please follow the link below for an agenda:

This afternoon event will take place at the Wellcome Trust Conference Centre on Euston Road (close to Euston, King's Cross, and St. Pancras stations). There will be a light lunch, and a wine reception will round off the day. Please see attached for further information.
To register, please write to: [log in to unmask] We will be capping numbers at 40, so please let us know as soon as possible if you'd like a place.
Many thanks, and all best wishes,
Martyn
