Professor Helga Nowotny, Professor Emerita of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, delivers the Gifford Lecture entitled "Beyond Innovation. Temporalities. Re-use. Emergence."
In her lecture, Professor Nowotny will assess how innovation has raised hopes in political and scientific situations where few alternatives are in sight.
She will argue that although it is often a solution to major challenges facing societies - equated with the dynamics of wealth and job creation - that it can be a double-edged sword, creating winners and losers.
Recorded on 13 May 2015 at the University of Edinburgh's Business School.
