HoNESt Summer School

HoNESt will hold a summer school on "Nuclear Technology and Society" at University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona 18-22 September, directed by HoNESt coordinator Prof Albert Presas I Puig.

Why is nuclear energy highly controversial in some countries and not in others? How have societies engaged with nuclear energy? How has the nuclear energy sector engaged with societies, and how this has changed over time? And how can we conduct research on these issues in a systematic manner? These are some of the questions that the Barcelona HoNESt “History of Nuclear Energy and Society” Summer School will address.

HoNESt is inviting applications from junior researchers (PhD students, young postdocs, researchers new to this field). Applications should include a brief (100-200 words) description of the applicants’ current research, a short CV (200 words), and should be sent to: Marta Perelló (marta.perello@upf.edu). Deadline: 31 july 2017
