The Vienna Science Studies Lab is an intra-institution initiative hosted by the Konrad Lorenz Institute (KLI), the UPSalon (University of Vienna), and the Epistemology of the In/human Project at Central European University (CEU).

Since 2022, the group has been successfully organising its meetings twice a year, each meeting themed on a paper chosen for discussion. The aim is to discuss issues of science, technology, and medicine studies with a particular focus on the epistemic, social, and ethical implications of scientific knowledge production. The group is committed to providing sufficient space for the perspectives of marginalized knowers when it comes to selecting topics, readings, as well as analytical frameworks.

The paper for the next meeting is: Anderson, W. (2004). Natural histories of infectious disease: Ecological vision in twentieth-century biomedical science. Osiris, 19, 39-61.
