The DFG Research Training Group 2696 investigates how science and technology have changed in terms of their topics, processes, and institutions since 1800. Against the background of ideas from historical institutionalism, we use case studies from various disciplines to analyze different, particularly gradual, forms of transformation in science and technology.
Based at the Interdisciplinary Center for Science and Technology Studies (IZWT) at the University of Wuppertal, the Group brings together history, philosophy, and sociology as classical perspectives of science studies. The group offers PhD students a structured, interdisciplinary, and supportive environment for developing their projects.
