Through an annual workshop and other activities, the science and democracy network (SDN) seeks to:

• create an international network of scholars and practitioners interested in the democratic governance of science and technology;
• promote scholarly exploration of the democratic steering, conduct, and uses of science and technology;
• improve the quality, visibility, and dissemination of the research of young scholars;
• connect the normative and political analysis of science and technology to relevant work in adjacent disciplines, such as law, ethics, and political science; and,
• communicate perspectives from S&TS to policy actors and contribute to social problem-solving.
