Selling and over-selling Big Science in the knowledge society

Hallonsten, Olof LU (2023)
Abstract
In chapter 33, Hallonsten argues that the change in the historical context of Big Science, from the Cold War to contemporary innovation driven economies, has transformed its character and raised anew the issue of its legitimization. According to Hallonsten, the promotion of Big Science projects, as a result of their uncertain epistemic and technological payoff, often entails 'overselling' marketing strategies and exaggerated promises.
