The community of scholars focusing on science – technology – society (STS) is meeting in Madrid from July 6-9, 2022 discussing also issues related to science diplomacy in some of the panels. For the list of accepted panels see https://easst2022.org/panelresults.asp

Here a small selection of interesting panels:

SCIENCE DIPLOMACY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY? THE OLD, THE NEW AND THE WANTED (panel 026)

Science diplomacy is not new, but its ambition, substance and actual delivery are constantly evolving. This is not least due to shifting paradigms of geopolitics, but also a result of the changing nature of contemporary science: how it is organised, who manages its framing and delivery.

RETHINKING POLICIES AND INSTITUTIONS THROUGH COCREATION, USERDRIVEN INNOVATION & RESEARCH IN THE WILD (panel 031) – co-organised by our member University Trieste (Simone Arnaldi)

In recent decades, academics and practitioners alike have paid increasing attention to models of innovation whose distinguishing feature is the involvement of end-users and grassroot organizations in participatory processes that occur outside established R&D institutional settings and that, nonetheless, effectively co-produce science, technology and innovation.

GEOGRAPHY OF RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS AND COMMUNITIES (panel 046)

We invite papers that address the geography of research collaborations and communities, for a session that aims to take stock of current research on the topic and improve common understanding of the geography of scientific work and its (inter)national relations. This topic is timely, as current societal challenges -such as the inter-related pandemic, biodiversity and climate crises- are global problems which require international collaboration.

Key dates:

  • Deadline Call for abstracts: February 1st
  • Participants informed by tracks convenors by February 28th
  • Early-bird registration from March 15th to April 25th
  • Late registration from April 26th to May 9th
