1980s, ‘convergence’ has become a familiar term in conversationson science and engineering policy. This was, of course, a result of multiple factors that includethe rise of ‘Big Science’ projects such as the Human Genome Project, the digital revolutionacross a range of scientific disciplines, and the growing awareness of the interconnected natureof scientific, environmental, and social challenges. While the idea of convergence offers a general framework for the generation andintegration of knowledge that needs to exist beyond disciplinary boundaries, the initial emphasiswas on the overlapping areas of technological research among nanotechnology, biotechnology,information technology, and cognitive science [8].
