Nominations open for EASST Council Election 2024
2024 EASST Council Representatives Election: Nominations open for seven Council positions and President
The European Association for the Studies of Science and Technology (EASST) 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 currently has seven ordinary members, a President, a Student representative and two co-opted members. A recent Constitutional change agreed by the members adds two new positions, one of which is reserved for an ECR representative. The Council meets at least four times a year (at least one is an in-person meeting) 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 represents the interests of its members in European research politics.
From January 2025,seven positions of the EASST Council will be vacant due to expiring terms for current representatives and the two additional positions. Of the seven vacancies, one seat is reserved for a PhD student (needs to be a PhD candidate at the time of election), and one for an ECR (defined as someone who has no more than seven years of experience since completion of PhD at the time of the election).
In addition, the position of the President is up for election for the 2026-2029 term, serving as President-elect in 2025.
Further details of the current Council can be found on the Council page and the role of the President and Council is described in the EASST constitution.
