EASST Council Representatives – Three vacancies

EASST Council Representatives – Three vacancies

The European Association for the Studies of Science and Technology
fosters within Europe the scholarly study of science and technology
including their historical development and their role in society. It
seeks to improve scholarly communication and exchange in the field, to
increase the visibility of the subject to policy-makers and to the
general public and to stimulate and support teaching on the subject at
all levels.

The EASST Council has seven ordinary members, a president, a student
representative and currently two co-opted members. The Council meets
twice a year to discuss the state and developments of STS in Europe and
to initiate and conduct measures to contribute to shaping these
developments. The Council is centrally involved in organizing the EASST
conferences, nominating candidates for awards, supporting students, and
supporting local or regional STS-events. The Council also monitors and
contributes to developing the editorial lines of its in-house journal
/Science & Technology Studies/and the /EASST Review./Furthermore, the
Council meets regularly with national STS associations and represents
the interests of its members in European research politics.

Three positions of the EASST Council will be vacant from January 2019
due to expiring terms for current representatives. EASST members
interested in contributing to shaping the future of STS in Europe are
encouraged to put themselves forward as candidates for the election for
Council members, which will take place by the end of 2018. Further
details of the current council can be found at
_www.easst.net/about-easst/easst-council-members
_and the role of
the president and council is described in the EASST constitution
www.easst.net/about-easst/easst-constitution
. EASST Review
carries regular reports of Council activities or you can contact one of
the existing Council members for more information.
