The Centre for Social Studies (CES) is an autonomous research institution in social science, founded in 1978 and affiliated with the School of Economics of the University of Coimbra. Its research team (about 50 permanent researchers plus associate researchers working in specific projects and hired research assistants) brings together sociologists, legal scholars, literary and cultural studies scholars, economists, anthropologists, geographers, education scholars and medical doctors, from several schools of the University of Coimbra and from other Universities in Portugal as well as in other countries.
Three CES staff working on ResIST were all were involved in the STAGE thematic network:
João Arriscado Nunes is a professor of sociology and a senior researcher at the School of Economics and Center for Social Studies, University of Coimbra. His main interests are in the social studies of biomedicine and life sciences and in public participation in areas involving science and technology. He has participated in several European and international projects and networks. He will co-coordinate Work Package 3 with Steve Woolgar. Besides coordination tasks, within Work Package 3 he will contribute to the elaboration of the preliminary and final frameworks and to case studies of innovative experiments of accountability. He will contribute as well to Work Package 0, namely to the development of a framework on structural, representational and distributional inequalities in S&T capacity building, based on available empirical and conceptual work in comparative multi-country and multi-continental research, and to the organization of the Caribbean/Latin American regional meetings.
Tiago Santos Pereira is researcher at CES, with a DPhil in S&T Policy Studies, from the University of Sussex. His main interests are in science, technology and innovation policy. He has participated in several European projects and networks, and he is currently a member of PRIME network of excellence. He will be contributing to WP0 through the linking of empirical results with policy perspectives, on the basis of his work on S&T policy. His contribution will extend to the development of a framework of different forms of inequality in S&T capacity building, based on his work on implications of S&T policy for capacity building, at European level (analysis of S&T and Cohesion Policies) and at global level (analysis of the concept of 'periphery' in S&T), as well as to the development of links with policy and practice, based on his involvement with S&T policy-making at different levels (national and international)
Marisa Matias is a researcher at CES. Her main interests are in science and technology studies mainly in environment, health and environmental justice and in collective action and public participation. She was a member of the teams of several European and international research projects. She will contribute to Work Package 3: to the elaboration of the integrated framework of accountability systems and to the development of case studies on innovative experiments of accountability with links to remediation of inequalities and capacity building.
Ana Matos is a research assistant who will participate in the fieldwork on the case studies for WP3, support research activities for WP0 and WP3 and contribute to the preparation of frameworks and reports.
