RESEARCH
Modern and contemporary history of innovation, socio-technical transitions, and sustainability challenges
The Eindhoven History Lab researches the transnational history of technology and socio-ecological change in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
Our current program places into historical perspective today’s public, scholarly and engineering debates on global crises, ‘grand’ societal challenges, and Sustainable Development Goals—and the ambivalent role(s) of technology therein.
