Chair of Science, Technology and Gender Studies at FAU
A quick look at everyday news proves that science, technology, and medicine permeate all aspects of our everyday life. From the terrifying prospect of a nuclear conflict and the recent pandemic to mundane decisions about getting another x-ray or using a bike to go to work, one is confronted with complex technological systems and advanced scientific knowledge.
The chair of Science, Technology and Gender Studies provides highly interdisciplinary tools that help us comprehend the impact of science, technology and medicine to humans and the environment. Major areas of research and education include gender science studies, nuclear history, and science diplomacy.
Current Courses held by the chair at the FAU can be found under Teaching.

About the project
FAU is a partner in the AI4GOV Accelerate (AI4GOV-X) project, running from 2025 to 2029. This initiative brings together 38 core institutions and 4 associated partners from 21 European countries to develop and implement an online master’s program specifically designed for the public sector. The program includes two annual editions and offers flexible, modular courses with micro-credentials, as well as hands-on extracurricular activities focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Spaces (DS), and Digital Government Transformation (DGT).
The project aims to fully train 800 students and engage over 2,200 additional participants through supplementary training initiatives. A key feature of the program is its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, supported by summer and winter schools, internships, networking events, and mentoring schemes that encourage knowledge exchange and practical engagement. FAU is responsible for organising two summer schools on science diplomacy and AI.
