STS in and out of the Laboratory

The laboratory refers to a particular site for knowledge production as well as methods for testing and developing new ways of working together. The Nordic STS conference in 2025 takes place at two University campuses that both hosts laboratories with historical legacy – the KTH Reactor Hall, at the Royal Institute for Technology and the laboratory of climate researcher and Nobel prize winner Svante Arrhenius, at Stockholm University. Both these sites will be actively enrolled in conference presentations, discussions and available for site visits. The small forest area between the two campuses KTH and Stockholm University, will be activated as a site for experimental, artistic and rubber-boot-sessions.

This conference invites scholars in and beyond Nordic STS to take part in this conversation and activation of the laboratory as site and method. Our Call for open panels is now open: read more.

We are looking forward to your contributions!
