4th Nordic Science and Technology Studies Conference: CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------
Conference: 13–14 June 2019

Pre-conference: 12 June 2019

Tampere University, Finland

The field of science and technology studies (STS) has become increasingly prominent in the Nordic countries. The purpose of the biennial Nordic STS conference is to promote exchange of ideas and collaboration among STS scholars by providing a regional forum for presenting on-going research, networking, and initiating new ideas and conversations. The Nordic STS conference has been organised since 2013, when the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture/TIK at University of Oslo took the initiative of organising the first conference.

The 4th Nordic STS conference will be held at Tampere University, Finland, in 13–14 June. A pre-conference workshop for junior researchers will take place 12 June. At the fourth Nordic STS conference the keynote speakers are: Harro van Lente (Maastricht University), Mianna Meskus (Tampere University) and Maria Nedeva (University of Manchester). The conference is organised in collaboration with The Finnish Society for Science and Technology Studies and the Research Center for Knowledge, Science, Technology and Innovation Studies, Tampere University.

The call for papers for the conference and the pre-conference are now open.

CONFERENCE PRESENTATION ABSTRACTS:

The abstracts of proposed presentations (max 300 words) can be submitted either to thematic sessions or as a general submission without an identified session.

PRE-CONFERENCE PRESENTATION ABSTRACTS:

We will organize a one-day pre-conference for junior researchers (doctoral and postdoctoral researchers). This pre-conference will be organised in collaboration with the Finnish Society for Science and Technology Studies, the Research Center for Knowledge, Science, Technology and Innovation Studies, and the New Social Research programme, Tampere University.

The pre-conference is an opportunity to present work-in-progress and receive feedback from more experienced STS scholars. We are interested in a wide range of research as long as there is a topical, theoretical, and/or methodological connection to the field of STS.

Please submit the abstracts of your research papers (max. 300 words) for the pre-conference by January 18, 2019, here.

We will inform about accepted abstracts no later than March 1, 2019. Researchers, whose abstracts are accepted to the pre-conference, will be asked to submit a longer 10-page paper. The deadline for the longer research papers is May 15, 2019.

Please note that we encourage all junior researchers to submit their abstracts also to the conference, which begins the day after the pre-conference.
