From ICCR's foundation in 1986, research and science policy has been a focal programme. The STARS research area - Science, Technology, Research & Society - continues this tradition. The Centre was among the first in Europe to recognise that sustainability relates to technology as much as to the social sphere. Its first studies examined social participation in the innovation process, the responsiveness of science organisations to environmental change, and social concerns relating to innovation.
