<div>
 On the one hand, there is an ever greater tendency for art and design research to establish and enhance its links with science and technology studies (STS), this has happened for a variety of methodological and epistemological reasons. On the other hand, while STS were born within the social sciences, they have extended their field of action to other disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas, related to the arts and humanities. In fact, art and design shares a mutual approach with STS that is beneficial for both sides considering their drive to transform and to be transformed.</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 The purpose of the present workshop is to explore this mutual approach from the multiple perspectives of those involved, as well as to exchange practices and experiences between researchers that have undertaken their work in the local context and those that come to Barcelona to present their ongoing investigations at the 4S/EASST Conference, organized by the two principal international STS societies. The Conference will take place in Barcelona between 31 August and 3 September, 2016.</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 Apart from the aim of creating a forum for the exchange of experiences, a main objective of the session is to become a space for joint reflection on research processes, methodologies and the practices that have emerged in this shared territory between the arts, design and STS. Another important objective is to establish networks to contribute to the strengthening of this increasing connection.</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 Aligned with the proposal of the 4S/EASST Conference to explore projects and spaces where science and technology are performed divergently, this session proposes to address and discuss potential frameworks for studying the diversity of creative practices, respecting their dispersion and their otherness, while at the same time recognizing them as such.</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 With the objective of generating a space to foster the connection between a creative local scene and international research, different knowledge sharing formats will coexist during the workshop, including plenary sessions, which will address cross-cutting issues, and working sessions with a basis in specific questions of common interest, which it is hoped will stimulate the generation of forums for knowledge exchange of greater proximity, and the possible generation of networks for future work.</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 Some of the topics that will be addressed are:</div>
<div>
  </div>
<div>
 ● Maintenance and repair of the infrastructures of art and design.</div>
<div>
 ● An approach to materiality and discursivity in the arts from an STS perspective.</div>
<div>
 ● Research methodologies in art and design.</div>
