From a disciplinary base centered on the biosciences and technology and complemented with subjects from various branches of the humanities and social sciences (law, philosophy, psychology and management), the Faculty of Biotechnology has just launched the Undergratuate Programme in Science and Society.

As part of this launch, the Faculty of Biotechnology is organising a Cycle of Talks on Science and Society. The first talk, "Where is Artificial Intelligence going?", will take place on 16 July at 18h00.

Paula Castro, director of the Faculty of Biotechnology, stresses that "The demand for sustainability, the generalization of artificial intelligence, the new (dis)order of world politics, the failures of inclusion and the need to reduce global inequalities are massive challenges for our society. New generations of professionals prepared with interdisciplinary logic are needed to be able to tackle problems as wide-ranging as those we face."

Aimed at intellectually curious students who want to embrace uncertainty and turn it into an opportunity to (re)imagine and (re)invent the future, this is a degree for those looking for a scientific basis to understand the vast world around them.

Science and Society graduates will be able to enter the labor market or continue their studies through master's degrees and other complementary training. "The career path of Science and SoSociety graduates in other countries shows that the potential is extraordinary: from politics to administration, from the creation of technological start-ups to creative consultancy and top management in multiple industries, they are people who know how to read the context, mobilize resources and take advantage of uncertainty," concludes Paula Castro.
