The KLI support international groups of scholars in the life and sustainability sciences working on interdisciplinary projects to conduct their groundbreaking research at the institute. KLI Focus Groups and Working Groups aim to develop ideas on a particular subject and generate suggestions for action. The participants have different scientific backgrounds and strive to develop specific, practical goals. Focus Groups are one-time meetings gathering and working together at the KLI for a period of one to maximum two weeks. Working Groups comprise 3 meetings over the course of one year and a half.

Save the date for the next meeting of the Vienna Science Studies Laboratory!
Date: 8th April 2024 (Monday)
Time: 3:00-4:30 PM
Venue: Das Café https://www.das-cafe.wien/
The Vienna Science Studies Lab is an intra-institution initiative hosted by the Konrad Lorenz Institute (KLI), the UPSalon (University of Vienna), and the Epistemology of the In/human Project at Central European University (CEU).
Since 2022, the group has been successfully organising its meetings twice a year, each meeting themed on a paper chosen for discussion. The aim is to discuss issues of science, technology, and medicine studies with a particular focus on the epistemic, social, and ethical implications of scientific knowledge production. The group is committed to providing sufficient space for the perspectives of marginalized knowers when it comes to selecting topics, readings, as well as analytical frameworks.
The paper for the next meeting is: Anderson, W. (2004). Natural histories of infectious disease: Ecological vision in twentieth-century biomedical science. Osiris, 19, 39-61.
