Transdisciplinarity From Principles to Practice
Transdisciplinary research (TD) is widely invoked to tackle complex sustainable‐development challenges by integrating scientific and societal knowledge and fostering collaboration among researchers, decision‐makers, practitioners and affected publics. Yet we still lack a refined understanding of the conditions that enable TD to succeed in EU research settings. We address this gap by analysing in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with Horizon proj…
Public debate on bovine tuberculosis eradication
The management of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a controversial issue due to the different positions of stakeholders regarding diagnosis and treatment. Considering how they conceptualize bTB might influence the acceptability of eradication programmes, we analyse communication materials published by a range of sources in Spain and France, two countries dealing with this disease. We use content and discourse analyses to investigate topics associated…

Las dimensiones sociales de la percepción de la energía nuclear. Un análisis del caso español (1960-2015)
La energía nuclear es una tecnología compleja, que requiere un uso muy intensivo de recursos y una toma de decisiones muy centralizada, cuya gobernanza supone un auténtico reto para las sociedades democráticas. En el presente artículo se exploran las percepciones sociales sobre la energía nuclear en España a partir de un análisis de encuestas de opinión y de los argumentos de actores de tres estudios de caso (Vandellós I, Valdecaballeros y ATC). …

Diseño de políticas de sostenibilidad y prácticas ciudadanas. El caso del comercio y las agendas 21 locales
En el present article s’analitza, en primer lloc, la distància entre el que la gent diu i el que la gent fa en relació amb la sostenibilitat en la seva vida quotidiana; en segon lloc, s’intenta connectar aquest coneixement amb el disseny i l’elaboració de polítiques de sostenibilitat. Per a això, s’ha escollit el cas d’una mostra de comerciants de la ciutat de Barcelona i la seva relació amb les polítiques que intenten promoure la sostenibilitat …
A investigação dos riscos tecnológicos na sociologia anglo-saxônica
Os riscos tecnológicos têm uma particularidade na medida em que remetem a aspectos futuros, porém pode verificar-se no presente, sendo sua definição, e reconhecimento, relativamente aberta. É usual ser atribuição da ciência oferecer explicação a partir de dados disponíveis, porém em muitos casos tal avaliação de certas tecnologias não é tarefa simples e, por vezes, nem concludente. Isto porque as probabilidades em meio ao conflito de interpretaçõ…
Investigating the degree of “stigma” associated with nuclear energy technologies
The extent to which nuclear energy technologies are, in some sense, “stigmatised” by historical environmental and military associations is of particular interest in contemporary debates about sustainable energy policy. Recent claims in the literature suggest that despite such stigmatisation, lay views on such technologies may be shifting towards a “reluctant acceptance,” in the light of concerns about issues like anthropogenic climate change. In …
Institutional dimensions underlying public trust in information on technological risk
This paper examines the determinants of trust in public information on technological risk in a petrochemical complex located in Tarragona (Spain). Data from focus groups (eight) and a questionnaire survey (N = 400) are drawn together to analyse how two local communities exposed to major chemical hazards perceive information on risk and its sources. Results show how trust relies on two main factors, namely expertise and trustworthiness, that are s…
The siting of a research centre on clean coal combustion and CO 2 capture in Spain
This paper aims to gain a better understanding of the role played by trust in the context of scarcity of public information, vis‐à‐vis the installation of a Centre for Investigation in Advanced Technologies (Centro de Investigación de Tecnologías Avanzadas, CITA) to be located in a coal‐rich region of Spain. Data from semi‐structured interviews (n = 15), a questionnaire survey (n = 400) and focus group sessions (2) are drawn together to reveal ho…
Confianza, incertidumbre y percepción social de las tecnologías avanzadas. Un estudio de caso
En este artículo se reflexiona sobre el papel de la confianza en la configuración de las percepciones y respuestas sociales de una población expuesta a una nueva instalación tecnológica, concretamente ante la implantación de un Centro de Investigación sobre la combustión limpia de carbón en un territorio minero del noroeste de España. Para ello, mediante una estrategia metodológica que integra técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas, se analizan la…
