*Call for submissions: EU-SPRI Early-career researcher event on ‘Studies of
<br>Policies for Research and Innovation: State of the art and future
<br>directions’, at Utrecht University, 1-2 June 2020*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The deadline for submissions is 15 February 2020.
<br>
<br>
<br>Eu-SPRI offers a course for early-career researchers working on science,
<br>technology and innovation (STI) policy. During the course we will explore
<br>the future of this scientific field and there is ample room to discuss your
<br>own work. Moreover, the course provides an excellent opportunity to meet
<br>fellow early-career researchers from across Europe. The course covers two
<br>days and takes place just before the yearly conference Eu-SPRI Conference
<br>2020.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The first day (1 June 2020) is dedicated to *paper development*. All
<br>participants are required to hand in a paper and to provide feedback on
<br>three other papers. This is a great chance to receive in-depth feedback on
<br>your own work by both fellow early-career researchers and leading experts
<br>in the field. In addition there will be plenary sessions by Professor Sally
<br>Wyatt (Maastricht University) on digital methods and by Professor Magnus
<br>Gulbrandsen (University of Oslo) on academic publishing. We conclude the
<br>day with a lovely dinner in the city of Utrecht.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>On the second day (2 June 2020) you will join in a *foresight activity *about
<br>the future of STI policy research. Based on a structured approach developed
<br>by Fraunhofer ISI the participants discover, discuss, conceptualize and
<br>reflect on how socio-technical trends and endogenous dynamics lead to
<br>different future scenarios. Participants get the opportunity to interact
<br>with each other and with experts, which might help them with thinking about
<br>their own research as well as their own role in broader societal and policy
<br>debates. The results will be presented in a plenary session – on the past,
<br>present, future of STI policy research – during the main Eu-SPRI conference
<br>during which early-career researchers take centre stage.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>*Some* *practicalities*:
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> - By early-career researchers we mean researchers working at
<br> universities or other knowledge organizations (in the broadest sense) who
<br> are doing their PhD or have obtained their PhD max. 3 years ago.
<br> - The manuscript for the writing workshop should not already be
<br> published. The text certainly does not need to be perfect yet, but it
<br> should be developed well enough so readers can understand the argument.
<br>The
<br> texts should be 6,000-10,000 words.
<br> - You can participate in a public event on Tuesday night for free about
<br> the future of digitization with contributions from amongst others Evgeny
<br> Morozov.
<br> - Costs for hotels (three nights: 31 May to 3 June) and food are covered
<br> by Eu-SPRI.
<br> - The deadline for registration is 15 February 2020. Please submit short
<br> biography (max. 300 words) and motivation letter (max. one page) to
<br> k.beumer@uu.nl.
<br> - The event can accommodate 25 participants. These will be selected by
<br> the organizing committee on the basis of the biography and motivation
<br> letter.
