Welcome addresses

Welcome from the President of EASST

Welcome to the EASST 2014 conference in the beautiful and historic city of Torun. I am delighted that we are able to hold our biennial conference in Poland for the first time. It expresses our desire to reach different parts of Europe and to facilitate the emergence of new communities with interests in the broad fields of science and technology studies and innovation studies.

Our field continues to grow and many of its members are increasingly located in general departments in social sciences, humanities and business studies as well as in interdisciplinary research centres in our field. It makes the role of an organisation such as EASST even more important as a focal point, through its regular conferences, for our dispersed community.

This year sees the continuation of our successful award scheme designed to give greater recognition to collaborative endeavours. The university system shows an ever more competitive focus on individual performance. Our Amsterdamska, Freeman and Ziman awards are designed to reward collaborative and interactive achievements.

It also marks the second anniversary of the launch of our new EASST journal, Science & Technology Studies. This goes from strength to strength under its able editorial team and I am confident that it is becoming an important part of the publishing landscape.

We are proud of our international European scope in an age when narrower national visions are on the rise. The EU Horizon 2020 programme gives a high profile to the importance of social sciences and humanities as well as natural sciences in addressing the societal challenges of our time. Our interdisciplinary community has a fundamental role in making such a shift in our knowledge system actually happen. I hope we will grasp the opportunity.

As always I expect a rich and diverse set of presentations which will stimulate and sometimes provoke. Many thanks to all the authors who have put in the effort to present their research in this forum, and to the Conference scientific committee and the track convenors for their work to enable such an interesting programme.

The EASST Council has met regularly every 6 months and I thank all of my colleagues for making it such an enjoyable and productive process. With special thanks to the EASST administrator, Sonia Liff for efforts way beyond the call of duty to help translate aspirations into practice. The organisation of this year’s conference has involved a much higher level of collaboration between EASST and the local organisers. My thanks to Krzysztof Abriszewski and his colleagues for making it all possible and welcoming us here.

Welcome from the Local Organising Committee

We are very happy about the fact that EASST goes east. We are also very happy that for the couple of conference days Toruń and Nicolaus Copernicus University will become a centre of Science and Technology Studies, gathering many outstanding scholars. Incidentally, the social and political context during the months of our organisational work has seen profound changes in science policy in Poland, as also in other European countries, and furthermore also important transformations in our university. All of these issues affected our work both organisational, and scientific. The changes and their influences were so remarkable that we were eager to share our experiences with our foreign colleagues, and thus discovered that we sail in the same boat, and our experiences have a lot in common. This was an important inspiration for the plenary lectures. We felt that the changes were not only important for us, they are also an important subject for STS investigation.

Our conference, when compared with other big scientific conferences and congresses organised in Poland, seems unusually large, even if it looks otherwise when compared with earlier EASST conferences. It comprises of almost 50 thematic tracks and sessions with nearly 450 papers, three subplenary sessions, two plenary sessions, and a doctoral workshop.

The organisation of EASST conference in Toruń is important for us, because in spite of remarkable historical example of Ludwik Fleck’s works (his book about scientific fact was published almost 80 years ago), STS in Poland is still making its first steps. We are very happy that you decided to come to Toruń, and participate in conference formal and informal exchanges. We hope that your large presence will bring the fruit of quick development of STS in this part of Europe, and that we all will benefit from scientific and personal contacts made in Toruń.

Thank you for joining us and I wish you good stay in Toruń.

The conference organisation was a big effort, and many people participated in it, and provided help. I would like to thank them all for this. Especially, I want to thank the local team: dean of Faculty of Humanities, prof. Andrzej Szahaj for his approval of our work; former NCU vice-president, and now vice-minister in the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, prof. Włodzisław Duch for his strong and consistent support for this project since its very beginning; dean, prof. Józef Stawicki and staff of the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management and also dean, prof. Jacek Gzella and staff of the Faculty of History for kindly opening the doors of their respective faculties for us; our technical partners in TNOiK; members of EASST board for their willingness to help, advise, and participate in our organisational efforts; the conference scientific committee; last but not least I especially want to thank Sonia Liff, who throughout all these months has played the role of Atlas in keeping the conference skies from falling.

Welcome to Nicolaus Copernicus University

The Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (NCU), founded in 1945, is the biggest university in northern Poland and is outstanding both in terms of its scientific potential as well as the courses of study on offer, forms of education, and numbers of students and graduates. Since joining with the Ludwik Rydygier Medical Academy in Bydgoszcz on 24 November 2004, the University has become a multi-profile higher education institution with even stronger research potential and teaching offers. In the recent press rankings, NCU has been granted the honourable position as among the first five best universities in Poland. This is a confirmation of a high standard of the research and education offer.

Nicolaus Copernicus, the patron of NCU, was a remarkable Polish astronomer - the creator of the heliocentric theory, mathematician, economist, doctor, and lawyer. Born in 19 February 1473, in Toruń, he also has a place in Science and Technology Studies: first in classic Thomas Kuhn’s Copernican Revolution, and second, indirectly, in Bruno Latour’s claim about the anti-copernican revolution in STS.

The first scientific results of Copernicus’s research were signalled as early as the time of his stay in Italy. In 1500 he delivered several lectures in Rome. He mentioned the discovery of the “New Astronomy” which reflected his different opinions on the planet structure and movement. The outline of the heliocentric theory was only given in 1510, in a paper entitled the Commentariolus (this remained unpublished, though copies circled throughout Europe, and two were found as late as in the 19th century).

The full account of the heliocentric model of the Solar System took Copernicus approximately twenty years to complete. The work was created in Frombork and contained a lecture on astronomy. It stated that the Earth rotates daily on its axis and revolves yearly around the sun. Copernicus argued, furthermore, that the planets also circle the sun. Georg Joachim van Lauchen, known as Rheticus, a young professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Wittenberg, who came to Frombork in 1539, encouraged Copernicus to publish his research results. Rheticus published the shortened copy entitled Narratio Prima in Gdańsk in 1540.

A year later the full account of the work (including six volumes) was published in Nürnberg. Andreas Osiander, a Lutheran theologian, who became responsible for editing the text, made considerable changes to the original work as to convince a reader of a hypothetical character of the heliocentric theory whose publication would not collide with the former imagination of the world frame. Without Copernicus’s consent, Osiander removed Copernicus’s Preface and inserted his own (unsigned) Letter dedicating it to Pope Paul III. The work appeared in 1543, and was entitled “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres). It is unknown what title was initially given by Copernicus as the original does not have a title page. The title, though, may have been De Revolutionibus, indicating the movement of all the planets, together with the Earth.

Other editions of this work were published by Rheticus in Basle (1566), by Müller from Göttingen in Amsterdam (1617), and in Warsaw (1854) (the edition included Polish translation and the Preface written by Copernicus), and by the Copernican Society in Toruń in 1873.

Overthrowing existing views on the world, Copernicus’s work triggered off numerous religious and ideological disputes. His theory was subject to severe criticism from the church authorities, often protestant. The Catholic Church condemned and banned “De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium” until 1828. However, since the turn of the 16th and 17th c. Copernicus’s theory gained more and more supporters. G. Bruno, J. Kepler and Galileo were among notable defenders. The Earth’s orbital movement was confirmed through the discovery of light aberration by J. Bradley in 1728. The breakthrough caused by the heliocentric theory is a classic ‘paradigm shift’ in knowledge.

Conference theme

Situating Solidarities: social challenges for science and technology studies

The EASST conference 2014 addresses the dynamics and interrelationships between science, technology and society. Contributors were invited to address the meeting’s theme of ‘Situating Solidarities’ though papers on any topic relevant to the wider field were also welcome.

The theme of ‘situating solidarities’ addresses asymmetries of power through a focus on material, situated sociotechnical configurations. Heterogeneous networks of actors are stabilised to different degrees through complex negotiations. Rather than seeking universal abstractions the theme asks questions such as: What do the chains and networks of asymmetries look like? How do they travel? What do they carry? Do asymmetries translate to inequalities? What are the solidarities that shape the practices, artefacts and ‘know-hows’ in situated material contexts?

Political and ethical engagement is a central concern for a view of science as changes in collective practice, rather than as individual contemplation. How should STS observe or influence the raising and erasing of social and technical asymmetries in everyday life? What do the ‘situated solidarities’ of dealing with asymmetries and inequalities look like? Can STS contribute to the work of solidarising to connect asymmetric agents, places, moves and networks to weaken inequalities and change hegemonic relations?

2014 Poland celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Round Table negotiations with Solidarność (Solidarity), an important symbol of our contemporary history, and national mythology. Here in Poland, it inspires various intellectual reminiscences, historical journeys, and analyses. Nevertheless, we have chosen the theme of ‘Situating Solidarities’ not aiming at any direct political or historical references. It was intended to be more a very broad, philosophical inspiration to inflame the imagination of those for whom titles like ‘Shaping technology, building society’, ‘Technology is society made durable’ or ‘[Do] Artefacts Have Politics’ are milestones both for our field and for our way of thinking about subjects that we study. All we want to do is to throw one more element into the pot: what are the ‘shared rules’ of building of society or making it durable, that we speak about?

What is this politics inscribed in artefacts? Are we able to shed light on the types of relation that are constructed in society and politics from this perspective? Do these relations support various forms of solidarities (not only human), or on the contrary do some other rules and values claim this role? Our choice of ‘solidarities’ in the plural is to underline the situatedness, sensitivity for empirical detail and pluralism that are so central to STS.

Pre-conference Doctoral Workshop

Wednesday 16 September 2014

As at previous conferences, the EASST pre-conference doctoral workshop aims to create a platform where PhD students in STS and related fields can engage with key issues of being an STS researcher, with support and guidance from established academics.

The workshop this year has two specific objectives:

1. To critically engage with what STS researchers practically ‘do’. While postgraduate curricula encompass more and more ‘soft skills’ training, wider understandings of these practices are often neglected. The aim is to talk about, for example, engagement with the academic publishing industry, instead of mere successful publishing strategies.

2. To address how STS can be used in the context of practitioners, policy-makers, activists or even business consultants. This can be a key issue both for scholars willing to reach beyond academia as well as for those two thirds of graduated PhD students who pursue their career outside of academia.

The format aims to create an open and participatory forum for exchange and critical discussion in an informal atmosphere. We believe that established academics, practitioners and PhD students alike bring a multitude of valuable insights and experiences to the table.

Preliminary discussion topics

Civil service and policy-making, Activism and NGOs, Business consultancy, Art and design, Publishing industry, Academic journals, Social media, Science communication

Social events

Welcome aperitif

Location: Main Hall of Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management;
Wednesday 17 September, 18.00-

The Organisers invite all the conference delegates to the Welcome Aperitif after the Plenary Session, in the Main Hall of Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management.

You will have the chance to try local gingerbread and nalewki – a traditional Polish alcoholic liqueur. There are a number of types of this liqueur, the most popular local ones are flavoured with quince or honey.

Toruń is famous for its gingerbread, so much that there are legends about it. The most popular tells a story about a young apprentice who helped a queen bee when she was drowning in water. Grateful, she told him the secret of making perfect gingerbread: all he needed to do was add was honey. Since that moment, his gingerbread was unlike any other.

Social event with dinner

Location: Fort IV, Bolesław Chrobry Street 86; GPS 18.6305, 53.0403;
Thursday 18 September, 20.00-23.00

Included in the conference registration, the banquet will take place in the historical military fort (Fort IV) from the XIXth century. Toruń, was then a Prussian military town surrounded by the circle of military fortifications. The fortications are more recent than the historic Old Town architecture, and located further away from the city centre. Consequently this part of the city is less known by tourists, being a sort of hidden attraction. Tables for the conference delegates will be located both inside the fort rooms and outside in its yard. This will allow for thorough investigation of the space and this interesting piece of military architecture.

Delegates will be taken from the conference venue to Fort IV in shuttle buses, which will return to the Old Town at the end of the evening. The first bus departs at 19.00 from the car park of the university campus, and then goes to the Old Town. The first return bus departs at 23.00 and goes to the city centre. Conference delegates will be informed about the shuttle details during the conference.

Plenary A Research assessment, science in transition, knowledge policy
Location: Economy, Main Auditory (Aula) and Economy IV (for overflow);
Wednesday 16.00

European research systems continue to adopt more formal assessment and evaluation methods. This session discusses the implications of this for the practice of researchers themselves as well as for the policy goals of ‘excellence’ and ‘relevance’. Themes that will be addressed in this session include individual and institutional coping strategies in different disciplinary, institutional and research contexts, a comparison of the landscape of European research system transition, east and west, and ethnographies of formal and informal processes of evaluation in the social sciences. As both actors within and analysts of the changing knowledge system we consider the challenges for our reflexivity and engagement in this process.

Location: Economy, Main Auditory (Aula); Thursday 11.30

The EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 focuses on grand societal challenges. The head of DG Research & Innovation states that these need ground breaking interdisciplinary research with ‘full embedding’ of the social sciences and humanities.

Dialogue between researchers and officials at a recent conference in Vilnius revealed both the opportunities and the difficulties of translating these ambitions into reality. The legacy of ‘science-push’ framing of research agendas remains very tangible. The transdisciplinary experience and capabilities of the science, technology & innovation studies community is underrepresented. There is a need to articulate a broader model of innovation with a participative, reflective approach to define a distinctively European path for research to address societal challenges.

This session offers opportunities for participants involved in the EU framework programmes to proactively shape the emerging Horizon 2020 programme to enable it to fulfil its interdisciplinary social science & humanities aspirations.

Plenary B(b) The relevance of the postsocialist condition for STS

Location: Economy, IV; Thursday 11.30

STS has sometimes been accused of ‘presentism’: a tendency to study configurations, assemblages, arrangements, sets of material practices that take place here and now, in the present. How would our key concepts, methods, analytical strategies change if we blurred the boundary between the past and the present, the here and the there, and sensitised ourselves to half-presences?

This subplenary aims to address this abstract question by initiating a discussion about the postsocialist condition. We aim to explore remembered and forgotten narratives of modernism, sources of enthusiasm and scepticism towards technoscientific promises, and various configurations of the public and the private in sociotechnical innovations in order to discuss how the concept of postsocialism might contribute to ongoing debates in STS, and vice-versa, how insights from STS might help us better understand the postsocialist condition.

Plenary B(c) Productive (geo)politics of energy

Location: Economy, VII; Thursday 11.30

The politics of energy today can hardly be pinned down to one particular locality or a category of actors. Rather, we can see that energy politics are spread across various political arenas and scales of practice. One of the issues that contributed to scaling up energy politics is climate change. But also environmental and technological risks of various energy technologies, socio-natural disasters (like the Fukushima disaster or black-outs), and shifting interregional dependencies of supply and demand for energy sources led globally to changes in the dynamics of energy politics.

In this discussion panel we will discuss what the sociological approach to science and technology study has to offer in addressing current dynamics and transformations of energy policy. We will discuss how various issues produce contemporary energy politics. More precisely we focus on changing relations of the social and the technical within the socio-technical (energy-) systems. We will explore new actors in the field of energy and ask if impulses for new social movements or socio-technical assemblages are given by this development. And, finally we will discuss how scales of politics are reproduced by new technologies.

Plenary C Science, policy, solidarity, asymmetries

Location: Economy, Main Auditory (Aula) and Economy IV (for overflow);
Friday, 14.30

In the final plenary session, two distinguished social theorists will reflect on the sociology of contemporary knowledge practices and their relationship with local and global asymmetries and solidarities. In what way can the insights of science and technology studies help to challenge as well as explain the dynamics of technoscientific success and global standardisation in domains from science to economics? Can sovereignty over measurement and accountability be contested at the same time as expressing universal, intellectual and moral solidarity? How has the engagement of intellectuals with their publics changed in the modern era? What kinds of social and cultural capital do public intellectuals need in order to act authoritatively? The discussion will focus on possible answers to these questions, with particular reference to Europe and its diverse/shared geographies and histories.

Session Guidelines for Convenors, Presenters, Discussants and Chairs

Basic format for paper sessions

Sessions last for ninety minutes and normally include three or four papers. Depending on the number of papers, each presenter will have between 15 and 20 minutes to allow 20 minutes of shared discussion.

Convenors have planned sessions in different ways and may have planned time for introductory or concluding remarks.

Computer projection facilities (beamers) will be available. Presentations should be brought on a USB memory device. Any other technical requirements need to be discussed in advance with the conference team.

Hints for Convenors/Session Chairs

You have flexibility to shape your sessions but we ask you to stick to the following ground rules for the benefit of presenters and participants.

The role of the chair is to introduce the presenter and any discussants, control the length of time people speak for and manage questions from the floor. Depending on the number of papers there may be space for you to speak to the ideas behind the track as a whole as an introduction or to sum up at the end of your sessions.

Please arrive in the session room at least five minutes before the start time. If presenters are using PowerPoint then it is best to load all these before the session starts. Support is available from the Information desk in the main hall of each building if you experience difficulties.

Introduce yourself to the presenters and make sure you have their details and that they are clear how long they can speak for. Please stick to the order given in the programme wherever possible.

For each paper introduce the author and the title of the paper.

Make sure the presenter sticks to time by warning them when they have five minutes left to speak and by firmly asking them to stop when the time is up. This is important in order to be fair to all presenters and to allow time for discussion.

In managing the discussion part of the session please ask questioners to identify themselves and ensure that they are brief to allow others to contribute and for presenters to respond. You may take questions at the end of each presentation and/or after all the papers have been presented.

Please ensure that the session ends on time.

Hints for Paper Presenters

In order for all presenters to have the best opportunity to present their papers and get a response we ask you to follow the guidelines provided – particularly in relation to time management. If your session has four papers scheduled then we suggest you plan for a 15 minute presentation to allow time for discussion.

Please arrive at the session room at least five minutes before the start time. If you want to use PowerPoint please bring your presentation on a USB memory device in time to upload this before the start of the session.

Introduce yourself to the chair of the session who will provide final guidance on the length of the presentation and the way the discussion time will be organised.

The chair will introduce your paper and will give you a warning when you have five minutes left to speak, and when your time is up. Please stop promptly when you are asked to so that all presenters have the same amount of time.

The chair will manage the discussion session to ensure good participation and feedback.
