The term ‘Environmental Biotechnology’ (EB) is central to EBNet’s activities, but its use has raised some interesting questions. It does not have universal recognition, nor do all users agree on what it encompasses; however, many see a value in the term. The Social Science Working Group of the BBSRC Environmental Biotechnology Network (EBNet) has, since May 2024, been examining the histories, contemporary dynamics and potential futures of the field of environmental biotechnology, drawing on insights from the social sciences, in particular science and technology studies (STS). This event provides the opportunity to learn about and discuss the findings of this research, and to contribute to discussions around the potential futures of environmental biotechnology. The outputs of the workshop will feed into the final report of the EBNet Social Sciences Working Group, to be published later in 2024.
