== Biography ==
Born in Vienna as Czechoslovak citizen, Braun grew up in Czechoslovakia. He studied physics at Charles University in Prague (1952 MSc, Dr.rer.nat.), PhD in solid state physics (Bristol 1959). Research in industrial research laboratory, then changed to University career. Appointed professor of physics at Aston University in Birmingham (1967). In 1973 started an interdisciplinary post-graduate research unit, the Technology Policy Unit (TPU). The topics of research embraced all social aspects of technology, including questions of policy, technology assessment, and the process and effects of technological innovation. In the same year Ernest Braun, together with the late Bill Williams and Michael Gibbons founded an interuniversity group known as “Science in a Social Context” (SISCON). This group obtained some funding and hired research fellows who produced teaching texts published by Butterworth. The purpose was to assist in the teaching of social aspects of science and technology to undergraduates in a variety of disciplines. The TPU at Aston University started an MSc course under the title “Social Aspects of Science and Technology” and also recruited several doctoral students. Many of the graduates of the doctoral programme later became professors in British universities. Also David Collingridge, the author of the Collingridge dilemma worked at TPU.
In 1982/83 Braun was visiting professor at Vienna Technical University. In 1984 he retired from Aston University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emeritus Professors )〕 and became visiting professor at University of Vienna, followed by several free-lance research projects in Austria. In 1985 he joined the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OAW), where he started a research group on technology assessment. In 1988, this group became the Technology Assessment Unit (FTB), headed by him till his retirement from the OAW in 1991, when he returned to England. Braun was followed by Gunther Tichy and under his leadership the FTB became a fully-fledged Institute of Technology Assessment (ITA).〔(Nentwich/Peissl ) (PDF file; 272 kB) p. 12/13.〕 On his return to England, Braun became visiting professor in the Open University in Milton Keynes. When he finally retired in 1994 he lived for five years in Portugal and in 2010 moved to Austria with his wife Doris (née Luttenberger), a painter. He had two daughters from his first marriage, both living in London. He died on 3 March 2015 in Bruckneudorf, just 6 days shy of his 90th birthday.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ITA: Ernest Braun 1925-2015 )〕
