The sub-department Communication, Philosophy and
Technology: Centre for Integrative Development (CPT-CID)
aims to develop a better understanding of the relations
between the life sciences and societal change.
We provide a stimulating environment for studying
communication, deliberation, and moral values in relation
to technology, quality of life and international development.
Our starting point is that protection and innovation of
agriculture, food, health and environment are
closely connected with social issues.
Integrative understandings, and empirical and normative
analyses are needed to support balanced social and technical
innovation, and to enhance the interaction between science
and society.
The sub-department CPT consists of:
• Strategic Communication (COM)• Philosophy (PHI) and
• Knowledge, Technology and Innovation (KTI)

The Strategic Communication
chair (COM) studies the dynamics
and consequences of strategic
communication by organizations
and citizens.
The focus is on the interactional
processes through which public
images, discourses, opinions and
practices come about, and on
how these may be infl uenced by
communication professionals.
Strategic Communication
The role of social media in the green movement of IranThis thesis investigates the role of social
media in context of the confl ict over the
presidential elections of 2009 in Iran.
Rosanne Elisabeth de Vos | BSc-thesis 2011
Green power of social exclusionWhen people are
excluded, they
become motivated
to build social connections, which fulfi l
their ‘need to belong’. Building social
connections can be achieved by pro-social
behaviour. Can organic consumption be
seen as a pro-social behaviour and can it
be triggered by social exclusion?
Anna Tasso | MSc-thesis 2013
Nothing changes,
everything changesA study of framing, ambition and interac-
tion of young Greeks in the context of the
Greek debt crisis. This interpretative re-
search analyses how young Greeks perceive
the Greek debt crisis through the concept
of frames and framing in interaction. It is
explored how the young Greeks cope with
the situation in order to eliminate stress,
fulfi l needs and to pursue ambitions.
Matilda Rizopulos | MSc-thesis 2012
Risk perception
and acceptance
concerning wolves
and wild boarsIn the near future, wolves might enter
the Netherlands. Wolves can be seen as
threats for Dutch citizens, whom possibly
overestimate these risks. On the other
hand, wild boars, already prevalent in
the Netherlands, induce risks that are
underestimated by Dutch citizens. Nature
managers will have to communicate with
the public about nature policy, and for
effective communication they will need to
know about the public’s risk perception
and acceptance.
Britt Tamar Stikvoort | MSc-thesis 2012
Some thesis topics of our students
ResearchThe Strategic Communication Chair studies the dynamics
and consequences of strategic communication of themes and
issues in the Wageningen domain.
Such studies involve both the deliberate use of
communicative strategies by organizations that wish
to connect to certain audiences, and the everyday
communication strategies that citizen-consumers employ
to achieve their own ends, often in response to actors like
governmental agencies, industries, scientifi c communities,
NGOs or managers in organizations.
Thus, the research of the chair contributes to insights
about the inter-human processes through which
public images, opinions and risk perceptions come about
(e.g. around new technological opportunities), the role of
persuasion and other communicative strategies in
fostering individual and collective behavioral change,
the interaction between planned and self-organized
processes of change, and the way in which interpretative
communities create, maintain and manage different viewpoints, frames and discourses.

The Philosophy chair (PHI)
studies ethical and other
philosophical issues in relation
to the Wageningen Domains. We
reflect on normative assumptions
and implications of research and
social practices concerning food
production and consumption, public
health, animal welfare and the
environment, and thereby aim to
contribute to responsible practices
and policies in these fields.

rcimboldo (1527 - 1593) - Rudolf II of H

Research
in PhilosophyOur research projects focus on core concepts and principles that are often
taken for granted in research, policy and practice. For example: How should
we understand ‘risk’, ‘health’ and ‘safety’ in various policy contexts, e.g.
food production and public health? Is it possible to develop a coherent understanding of what is ‘natural’, e.g. in relation
to food production, agriculture, or nature development? How to evaluate
the debates on intensive versus extensive livestock farming from an
ethical perspective? What are the moral limits and justifi cations of patent
regulation in the life sciences?
Research and teaching activities involve ethical refl ection on
practical problems and analysis of the role and status of scientifi c
knowledge in our modern globalised world. We do this in close
cooperation with other groups at Wageningen University.
Our research strategy is pluralist, pragmatic, and often
interdisciplinary, combining normative and empirical approaches.
Moreover, we explore how analysis of practical issues may lead to theoretical
insights and vice versa. Refl ection and imagination can jointly unfold
new ways for science, and society to deal with challenges to agriculture,
development, public health and the environment.
Building on our research and teaching activities, we fulfi l consultative roles
in various national and international settings in business and social policy, such as Unilever, and the Health Council of the Netherlands, and
we participate in debates in public and professional media.

Researchin Knowledge, Technology and Innovation
The KTI chair studies processes of socio-technical innovation and transformation, with special
attention to the communicative and socio-political
dynamics involved in the production, exchange,
integration and use of scientifi c and other knowledge.
This simultaneously involves studying technology’s
impact on society and the social shaping of
technology as two sides of a co-production process,
and the analysis of interactions, interventions, design
approaches and institutional set-ups relevant to
enhancing and supporting innovation processes in
society.
These endeavors to understand science-society interaction are situated in the context of challenges
and opportunities in the Wageningen domain, such as
food security, poverty, health hazards, inequality, health
promotion, environmental degradation, climate change,
confl ict and scarcity of resources.
