The creation of scientific knowledge across disciplines grows and increasingly spreads globally. However, we know less about how scientific breakthroughs diffuse and reshape (multi)disciplinary fields, ultimately impacting society at large.
The goal of the proposed two-day workshop is to create a research network of international experts and established and emerging UL researchers from different disciplines and faculties to generate knowledge in a novel field: the study of scientization -- or how prior scientific knowledge influences subsequent patterns of diffusion, knowledge transfer, and new scientific subfields.
By uniquely combining theories from sociology of science, classic bibliometric key performance indicators, and big data to analyze scientific information (e.g. data mining and network analysis from computer science, statistical mechanics) we will lay the foundation for novel research on the underlying structure, dynamics, and consequences of scientization. Where they overlap is the intellectual, interdisciplinary space of the study of scientization. SEEDS will develop a study design able to test hypotheses about scientization and its consequences.

The workshop will take place at Maison du Savoir (MSA) (May 15th: Salle Germain Dondelinger at the 17th floor, May 16th: Room MSA 3.200) in the Belval Campus of the University of Luxembourg. You can find here about information on how to get to the campus by public transport. The three RGTR lines (202, 203, 321) connecting with the Luxmebourg city have been recently renumbered (606, 607, 608).
Note that since 29 February 2020, public transport in Luxembourg has been free for everybody, residents as well as tourists. This is the case for trains, trams and buses (RGTR, TICE, AVL).

The SEEDS 2023 workshop is financially supported by the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) of the University of Luxembourg through the Brainstorm project SEEDS (Brainstorm-2022).
