Dr Mario Pansera

We are pleased to invite you to the first BISS Ethics and Responsible Innovation webinar: “To Thrive But Not To Grow” on Friday, October 30th from 14.00 to 15.00 pm (GMT+1), with Dr Mario Pansera (Autonomous University of Barcelona).

Mario Pansera is one of Europe’s leading experts on Responsible Innovation and a 2020 recipient of a prestigious European Research Council Grant for his project: “Prospering without growth: Science, Technology and Innovation in a post-growth era” (PROSPERA). Mario will discuss his upcoming project, tackling questions such as: Can our economies grow endlessly? And would there be space for ‘innovation’ in a post-growth model? Mario argues that untangling innovation from growth is key to imagining a post-growth era, and that we need new narratives for innovation that look beyond technology into cultural and institutional change, and social life and social order. But what would organisations look like in a system that is not based on, and does not rely on, endless growth? What levels of technological complexity can we reach in a non-growing economy? What policies, infrastructures and organisational forms are needed for this new innovation paradigm? These are questions that Dr Pansera will address so that we can learn how to thrive in a new way.

 

Currently, Mario teaches innovation management at the Department of Business, Autonomous University of Barcelona. Mario’s research focuses on Sociology of technology, Responsible Research and Innovation, Sustainability Studies and Degrowth. Mario has previously collaborated with BISS PI Darian Meacham in relation to responsible innovation and institutional change in the area of Synthetic Biology.
