Israel Rodríguez Giralt

PhD in Social Psychology (2008, UAB). I'm currently PI and Full Research Professor at the IN3 - Open University of Catalonia (UOC). From early 2016 I'm leading the CareNet Research Group (Care and Preparedness in the Network Society). My field of research is the so-called STS (Science and Technology Studies) and in particular the study of new forms of technical democracy (social experimentation, public debate and mobilization). My work revolves around understanding the forms of engagement and participation of vulnerable and concerned groups in scientific and technical debates (disabled people, elderly people, people in situation of dependency, victims of disasters and children).
