Focusing on experts in technology and science, Building Europe on
Expertise delivers a new reading of European history. The authors show
that modern Europe was built by experts using their unique knowledge to
shape societies, set political agendas, and establish collaborations
which proved decisive in integrating the continent.
The Making Europe series was awarded the Freeman Award by the European
Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) in 2014, in
recognition of its significant contribution to the interaction of
science and technology studies with the study of innovation.
