<br>We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the EASST Fund
<br>2019. Several successful applications will be awarded with €1000 funding.
<br>The scheme aims to promote national and cross-national community
<br>building within EASST, advance new questions, topics and perspectives in
<br>science and technology studies, as well as enable collaboration with
<br>non-academic actors publically engaged in science and technology. EASST
<br>wishes to support a range of activities such as the organisation of
<br>conferences, network meetings, seminars, workshops, summer schools, etc.
<br>We welcome network and community-building activities organised by, or
<br>leading to, the creation of national and regional academic associations
<br>or other academic and non-academic initiatives committed to the
<br>promotion of scholarly and public engagements with science and
<br>technology in the European region. Examples of activities supported in
<br>previous rounds: STS Austria launch event in Vienna, Spanish STS network
<br>(esCTS) annual meetings, Technosciences of Post/Socialism conference in
<br>Budapest, Mattering Press open-access STS publishing initiative.
<br>We similarly encourage the organisation of workshops and small
<br>conferences within Europe with the potential of making significant
<br>theoretical and/or empirical contributions to the field. Examples of
<br>supported activities from previous rounds: STS Perspectives on Energy
<br>conference in Lisbon, Does History Matter? Techno-sciences and their
<br>historically informed policies conference in Athens, STS and Development
<br>workshop in Amsterdam.
<br>
<br>Activities should start between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019.
<br>EASST especially invites applications from parts of Europe where EASST
<br>activities and membership are under-represented (Southern and Eastern
<br>Europe). There is a total budget of €5000 for this call. By default, we
<br>offer € 1000 for successful applicants, but we also accept applications
<br>for smaller sums. The proposed activities can be fully or partially
<br>funded by EASST. There are no quotas for the announced support categories.
<br>
<br>How to apply?
<br>
<br> Applications can be submitted only by EASST members.
<br> Applications should specify the category they apply for and include
<br>a description of the proposed activity, addressing the criteria below.
<br>They should also include the proposed venue, date, organisers and
<br>expected number and profile of participants (when applicable) along with
<br>a budget specifying how the funds requested will be allocated.
<br> Applications have to made using the application form which can be
<br>downloaded here:
<br>https://easst.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Application-Form-for-EASST-Fund-2019.docx
<br>and submitted to admin@easst.net no later than 30 November 2018.
<br>
<br>
<br>Assessment of applications
<br>The key considerations in assessing the applications are the following:
<br>
<br> Community building on the national and cross-national level, and
<br>reaching to a European audience
<br> Particular emphasis is given to novel network initiatives,
<br>especially in countries under-represented in EASST (Southern and Eastern
<br>Europe)
<br> Novel academic questions, new collaborations, and reaching beyond
<br>academia.
<br> Innovative initiatives in academia (e.g., open access publishing)
<br>and public engagement in science and technology.
<br> Open activities accessible for a wide array of participants and
<br>reaching a broad audience.
<br> Feasibility and value-for-money. We particularly welcome initiatives
<br>with limited access to other potential sources of funding.
<br>
<br>Communication of award can be expected by 20 December 2018. Recipients
<br>should notify the Council their acceptance of award until 15 January 2019.
