v. 3 n. 1 (2025): Science, Society and Emerging Technologies

Science, Society and Emerging Technologies (Vol. 3, No. 1) brings together a set of chapters that share a common ambition: to show how knowledge becomes socially meaningful when it is confronted with real problems, real contexts, and real people. From the editorial perspective, what gives unity to the book is not a single discipline, but a shared commitment to applied reflection. The chapters move across themes in health, education, engineering, and the humanities, revealing how different fields respond to contemporary demands: the need to qualify practices, to translate evidence into decision-making, to evaluate risks, to improve systems, and to rethink institutional routines. This creates a dynamic reading experience—one in which diverse objects of study converge around a similar ethical horizon: producing knowledge that is rigorous, communicable, and capable of generating impact beyond the academic environment.

A particularly valuable aspect of the collection is its balance between technical depth and social sensitivity. Even when the subjects are highly specialized, the contributions remain attentive to the broader implications of innovation—whether in professional training, public health, educational inclusion, infrastructure and built environments, or cultural and legal practices. In doing so, the volume invites readers to consider technology not as an end in itself, but as a bridge: a means through which scientific reasoning can interact with social needs, uncertainties, and transformations.
