Technology and Innovation contribute to sustainable development if institutional framework conditions create the right incentives. The course discusses the challenges associated with technological change from an interdisciplinary and practice-oriented perspective taking into account legal, economic, anthropological and development aspects.

This is an additional teaching unit associated with the course "Science, Technology, and Public Policy". In this module students can write a seminar paper that builds on the topics discussed in the course. The credit point for this unit can only be obtained in companion with the course.

In this seminar, Ph.D. students based at the Center for Comparative and International Studies (CIS) present the research designs and results of their dissertations.

Technological innovation is seldom entirely market-driven but often requires policy intervention. This module will introduce the participants into the literature that aims to understand technology and the underlying markets and its interaction with policy and its underlying politics. Besides an academic perspective, it will introduce practitioners working at the technology-policy interface.
