Are you someone interested in contemporary relations of science, innovation, and society and the grand challenges associated with them? If so, the ESST Master’s Programme may be just what you’re looking for. An interdisciplinary approach is at the heart of the ESST Programme enabling you to creatively draw upon and combine resources from different disciplines. With a network of participating universities across Europe, you can initiate your studies at one university and then follow an elective course and write your thesis at another.
Forming a unique European network of researchers in the social sciences and humanities, ESST is also an ideal partner to involve in the design of new national and international research projects.
