About the group

Our research anticipates, reflects on, and engages with the design, societal, and governance challenges associated with emerging technologies.

We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in multiple aspects of emerging technologies and governance. Several group members are housed at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research at the Alliance Manchester Business School at the University of Manchester. Other group members are with other schools at the University of Manchester or in other universities and organizations. 

Current and recent projects focus on emerging technologies ranging from artificial intelligence and digital fabrication to synthetic biology and graphene.
