Design has become a key concept across a multitude of disciplinary domains and social spheres. In addition to its traditional aesthetic associations, it is now a key term in multiple scientific domains and in diverse technological practices. One can even think of societies and social arrangements being designed. In science and technology, design implies the re-arrangement of materials and ideas for innovative purposes. When newly designed scientific and technical objects enter the world, however, their initial purposes are often displaced.For decades, STS researchers have been following the practical and political dimensions of science and technology. By focusing on concepts and practices of scientific and technological design at their sites of construction and on their multiple displacements, the 2012 conference continues this tradition. By bringing together design and displacement we want to highlight how scientific and technological design engages with existing socio-technical arrangements in both planned and unplanned ways, facilitating both collaborations and contestations, and generating both order and disorder.The conference encourages analytic, critical, and
