The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) is an international organization that explores the relationship between society and science. It brings together researchers, practitioners, and scholars from various fields to discuss how scientific knowledge and technological developments shape our world and how social factors influence scientific practices. Through conferences, publications, and collaborations, 4S promotes understanding of the cultural, political, and ethical dimensions of science and technology, encouraging critical perspectives on their roles in society and informing public policy and education.
