Objectives

The PhD in History of Sciences and Science Education is based on an interdisciplinary programme which includes the history of science, science education, science communication and dissemination, and the philosophy and sociology of science. It leads to the training of researchers in new areas related to the historical evolution and the social and cultural function of Science and Technology, the articulation with science education, the management of scientific information and the preservation of the cultural heritage of science.
