Dr. Lotte Krabbenborg

Biography

Lotte Krabbenborg is an Associate Professor at Radboud University, Institute for Science in Society. Her research focuses on the interactions between new techno-scientific developments, such as nanotechnology, biofuels, and artificial intelligence, and their societal impacts. She investigates how new technologies shape social order by influencing decision-making processes within various innovation trajectories including laboratories, firms, government agencies, and the public sphere. Her main aim is to explore ways to enhance the empowerment of civil society actors and individual citizens in deliberative decision-making processes. This research entails an inquiry into civil society actors' activities in organizing new science and technology while considering both invited and uninvited participation at the micro-level. It also examines the broader institutional context of civil society's engagement at the meso-level, within the socio-political landscape that influences interactions with scientists and technology developers at the macro-level. Currently, she is studying the opportunities and constraints of co-creation processes in the science-society interface within biomedical contexts, particularly focusing on digital self-monitoring and biomarkers associated with artificial intelligence.
