2010 ST Global Call for
Abstracts
AAAS and the student organizing committee for the 10th Annual
Conference of Science & Technology in Society are pleased to join
forces with National Academies' Annual Forum for Graduate Students in
Science, Technology, and Health Policy. The newly merged conference has
been extended to 2 1/2 days, and will continue to provide a
professional and interactive venue for all graduate students from
Science & Technology Policy (STP), Science & Technology Studies
(STS), and related fields including, but not limited to, health, energy
and environment, space, information and communications, innovation,
education, and ethical, legal and social implications of science and
technology.
Every year, prominent figures from both STP
and STS deliver keynote addresses. In addition to presenting papers and
receiving constructive feedback on their research, students will have
the opportunity to build national and international networks with each
other and prominent scholars and professionals. As an added benefit to
attendees and participants, a portion of the conference will be
dedicated to career development, with representatives of government and
non-government employers.
This year's conference will feature multiple tracks and
concentrations, including, but not limited to:
- Ethical, Legal, and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology
- Communicating Science to Policymakers and the Public
- Education and Training for the S&T Workforce
- The Role of S&T in Innovation, Economic Development, Job
Creation, and Entrepreneurship
- Priorities in STS: Energy, Health Care Quality, Green Technology,
Climate Change
- The Global Perspective on Science, Technology, and Culture
We are now accepting Abstracts for the conference
which will run 2 1/2 days from Friday April 9th in the afternoon
through 1pm on Sunday April 11th.
Abstracts are due on 15 December 2009 and should be approximately 250
