Abstract

This article clarifies what is meant by “social studies of the future” and shows the kind of contributions they can make to the sciences and technologies. To this end, two additional concepts complement the discussion: those of interdisciplinarity and responsible research. We seek to demonstrate that it is important to create bridges between the various disciplines, in order to promote knowledge that help societies to deal with the future. It is argued that SSF can make a difference in promoting science that improves the quality of life and achieving the goals of inclusion and sustainability. From this perspective, we will underscore the relevance of interchanging knowledge through interdisciplinarity, as a strategy of governing the science and technology of the future.
