Raf de Bont is a researcher at Maastricht University focusing on the networks of knowledge production and consumption. His work examines how scientific theories are influenced by the interactions between humans, practices, and material things on a global scale. De Bont is particularly interested in the dynamics of globalization within science and technology, including the institution-building processes and standardization practices that shape relative autonomy in knowledge production. He has a keen focus on the inclusiveness and exclusiveness of scientific networks and their implications for practices like ‘open science’. His research also highlights the role of non-human agents, such as technological devices and living organisms, in these networks, questioning traditional dichotomies between the universal and the local, as well as human and non-human agency.
