Etudes sur les sciences et les techniques (EST)

Laboratory presentation

Unit EA 1610 Studies in Science and Technology (EST), the reception team of Paris-Sud University / Paris Saclay University, is researching on the history, the didactic and the ethics of science, technology and health.
The themes and research projects of the unit are characterized by a particular attention to the circulation, the teaching, and the promulgation of the knowledge, on the one hand, as well as on the social, epistemological, cultural, ethical issues of the sciences, techniques and health in the contemporary period, on the other hand.

- Orsay Science History Group (GHDSO), 17 members in June 2018
- Didactics of the Sciences of Orsay (DidaScO), 7 members in June 2018
- Ethics, Science, Health, Society (ES3), 17 members in June 2018.
