The role of post-normal science in contemporary society

What role does science play in the face of uncertain scientific facts, urgent decisions, high stakes and unshared values?
These questions will be at the center of the reflection of men and women scholars in the first meeting of the Workshop project of 2023.

The meeting is held on 21 February at the Faculty of Sociology of the University of Tor Vergata at 11.00.

Will intervene Silvio Funtowicz, a philosopher who developed – together with Jerry Ravetz – the concept of post-normal science, which proposes a new model of scientific investigation and science-society-political decision-makers relationship in situations characterized by uncertainty and urgency.

Speakers will also be: Bruna DeMarchi, expert in risk sociology; Valentina Tudisca e Claudia Pennacchiotti, IRPPS researchers; And Michela Mayer, of the Italian Association for Sustainability Science.

The scholars will moderate Claudia Hassan, University of Tor Vergata e Adriana Valente, IRPPS, and the meeting will be preceded by greetings from the IRPPS Director, Mario Paolucci and by the Director of the SPFS Department, Lucia Ceci.
