Understanding socio-technical innovation and change processes
The MSc Development and Rural Innovation is the international social sciences programme for students with a technical, life science or management background with an interest in international development and beta/ gamma integration. In Development and Rural Innovation, we develop professionals who are able to deal with knowledge processes in dynamic contexts. Crucial in Development and Rural Innovation is interdisciplinary thinking along human and technological dimensions of innovation. The arena for Development and Rural Innovation consists of a variety of fields of expertise such as water management, agriculture, disaster management, natural resource management, health & sanitation, and more.
Dealing with the links between technological developments and societies in which these are introduced and used requires a fundamental understanding of socio-technical innovation and change processes. In other words, you will be challenged to integrate your previously acquired technical competencies with new skills at an academic level of thinking in social sciences in order to make innovations work.
