Brief Description

In it’s core, the planned volume draws from a series of lectures by the same name, which were held by BIOGUM in the Winter Semester 2004-5 and also includes further supplementary contributions. The objective of the volume is to present an overview of current theoretical concepts and empirical findings as well as to sketch the foundation for an innovation’s scene in Northern Germany.
