The conference aims to provide input for ongoing debates around current and future developments in genomics and post-genomics life sciences, involving a broad range of social science and humanities disciplines, in order to understand how the societal landscape of genomics is evolving. Besides plenary lectures, the programme includes ~ 50 scholarly presentations in parallel sessions, while participants will also have the opportunity to display posters.
Four zones will be distinguished to guide us through the emerging landscape: the urban, the industrial, the rural and the environmental zone. Within these zones, a range of topics (dealing with innovation, governance, infrastructures and emerging issues) will be addressed in the form of parallel sessions. Our deliberations will converge into a “societal map” of genomics as the outcome of the conference.
