Programme summary
This programme aims to develop professionals who understand the role of formal and other knowledge in societal change processes, and are able to link human and technological dimensions of innovation. It is a social science programme tailored for students with a technical, life science or relevant management background. Innovations in the field of agriculture, natural resource management and food production have a dual nature. They consist of new technological practices as well as new socio-organisational arrangements between different societal actors. Dealing with the links between technological developments and societies in which these are introduced and used requires a fundamental understanding of socio-technical innovation and change processes. In other words, you will be challenged to integrate your previously acquired technical competencies with new skills at an academic level of thinking in social sciences in order to make innovations work.

Your future career
The programme lays the foundations for a variety of career opportunities, usually oriented towards societal problem solving and innovation. You can become a researcher or a knowledge broker who ensures a good fi t between client demands and research formulation. Or you might take on the role of process facilitator or communication specialist in a non-governmental organisation, the public sector or the private industry. A career as a policy-maker or consultant is another realistic option.
