question, who can have access to genetic diagnostics in Western Europe, plays out against the background of an alleged ‘genetic revolution’ in medicine and reforms considered to take health care delivery away from traditional (welfare) state arrangements.
However, the implications of the ‘genetic revolution’ and institutional reforms in health care are usually studied as separate domains, even though it is in the interaction between them that the most significant changes for the future of European welfare states
occur. In my presentation I will therefore investigate how medical applications of genetic technologies and the structures within which they are provided are co-produced. I will discuss examples of how different European cultures integrate genetic diagnostic
technologies in their health care provision schemes, thereby producing nationally specific patterns of distributing genetic medicine. I will argue that these patterns contribute to the creation of culturally specific forms of social citizenship that are significant
for the public provision of health care in the genetic age.</font></span></div>

Aarden</i> is a Marie Curie Fellow with the Program on Science, Technology, and Society at Harvard University. Erik received his PhD at Maastricht University (The Netherlands) for a comparative study of the incorporation of genetic technologies in public health
care provision in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in 2010. In his current research project, he investigates the global politics of medical population research. His case studies include several cohort-based studies and infrastructures, including
genetic biobanks, in various places around the globe. Before his current project, he was engaged in several (European) research projects at the intersection of science, technology, and society at Maastricht University, as well as in the establishment of a
department for Futures Studies at RWTH Aachen University in Germany.</font></div>
