This issue reaches readers at the end of the teaching year for many and the start of the summer, when we look forward to being reunited with our writing projects, attending workshops with colleagues, and having some time away with family or friends.
In our previous edition we reflected on and celebrated the largest ever STS gathering of EASST/4S in Amsterdam last July. Since then, STS has been very much alive, manifesting its creativity through diverse formats and smaller, innovative meetings across Europe and beyond.
We invite you to join us for EASST’s Biennial Conference, to be held in Krakow, Poland, 8-11 September 2026.
The Call for Panels opens 1 September 2025.
