Making Europe through and for its Research Infrastructures: CoproducingEuropean Science and Society in Transnational Research Infrastructures

目前，人们普遍认为欧洲一体化处于危机状态。公民对跨国合作的价值表达了越来越多的怀疑，欧盟在应对复杂问题时似乎举步维艰。与此同时，欧洲的跨国科学合作似乎没有受到阻碍。这一点值得注意，因为到目前为止，科学一体化项目一直与目前存在争议的政治和经济一体化项目齐头并进。到目前为止，很少有研究系统地追踪科学与社会政治一体化之间的这种联系。我们比较探讨了欧洲一体化和欧洲科学是如何相互影响的，通过观察四个著名的跨国欧洲研究基础设施（TERIs）：欧洲核<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换体（1954年）、欧洲空间局（1975年）、欧洲激光实验室（2001年）和生物银行和生物分子研究基础设施（BBMRI）。我们将探讨自第二次世界大战以来，对欧洲不断变化的想象如何影响TERIs的基础、制度形式和社会定位。利用科学技术研究的理论方法，我们将teri概念化为一体化的社会技术机制，通过将不同的科学和社会政治因素相互联系起来，促进更广泛的欧洲一体化进程。我们认为，teri是由不断变化的欧洲政治愿景和一体化实践塑造的，同时也是建立和稳定欧洲的相关行动者。我们通过使用比较多方法的方法对teri进行实证追踪，以了解teri如何不仅是不断变化的欧洲社会的结果，而且还促进了关于整个欧洲的特定思想。通过研究欧洲科学一体化的动态，该项目还可能为理解当今欧洲政治一体化面临的复杂挑战提供经验教训。

At present, the European project is widely considered to be in a state of crisis. Citizens express increasing skepticism about the value of transnational collaboration and the European Union appears to struggle in responding to complex problems. At the same time, cross-national scientific collaboration in Europe seems to develop unimpeded. This is noteworthy, as the project of scientific integration so far has proceeded hand in hand with the political and economic integration project that is presently controversial. So far, there has been little research that systematically traces this link between scientific and socio-political integration. We comparatively explore how European integration and European science have influenced each other by looking at four eminent Transnational European Research Infrastructures (TERIs): the Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (1954), the European Space Agency (1975), Laserlab Europe (2001), and Biobanking and BioMolecular Research Infrastructure (BBMRI). We will explore how changing imaginations of Europe since World War II affected the foundation, the institutional forms and societal positioning of TERIs. Mobilizing theoretical approaches from Science and Technology Studies, we conceptualize TERIs as sociotechnical machineries of integration that promote broader processes of European integration through relating diverse scientific and socio-political elements to each other. We consider TERIs as shaped by shifting European political visions and practices of integration while simultaneously being relevant actors in the making and stabilizing of Europe. We empirically trace how TERIs by using a comparative multi-method approach to understand how TERIs are not only the result of a changing European society, but also promote specific ideas about Europe at large. By studying the dynamics of European scientific integration, the project potentially also holds lessons for making sense of the complex challenges European political integration confronts today.
