Become an Institutional Member

EASST Institutional Supporting Membership will allow your institution to influence research agendas, and benefit substantially from student exchange and new research and teaching initiatives. You may also wish to join in with other research centres in the field of science and technology studies (STS) and/or science, technology and innovation (STI) to help develop a common approach in collaborating around research opportunities presented by European funding programmes, like those seen in Brussels.

Activities of EASST’s institutional members are featured in the EASST Review which is distributed widely in Europe, East and West, and also reaching North America. EASST is also stimulating comparisons between programs in various countries, and EASST institutional members formulate recommendations about curricula, degree programmes and forms of exchange. High priority is being given to educational exchange, where it is posible to coordinate efforts with the Network of European Centres in Science and Technology Studies (NECSTS, formerly the STS Erasmus network). At bi-annual workshops and summer schools hosted by institutional members various sub-fields are highlighted, permitting the host institutions to publicize their teaching and research. EASST has travel stipends to assist a number of outstanding young scholars to participate in such events.

Collaborative efforts may be developed around a variety of topics, such as the role of the humanities and social sciences in high tech society, innovation policies, feminism and constructivism, strategic research and the changing science-society contract in national policies, research foresight, technology assessment, European R&D programmes, historical and other case studies, climate change and political action, and theoretical issues in STS, with implications for policy and evaluation.

EASST provides an important window on the rapidly changing situation in science and technology in Eastern and Central Europe, and is convinced that it may ensure a more stable basis for multilateral interchange with that part of Europe, where it already has a growing number of individual members.

You can be assured that EASST will use every means available to give greater visibility and coherence to the field of science and technology studies in Europe.

For further details of EASST’s activities and what insitutional membership has to offer, please feel free get in touch with the President of EASST, any EASST Council member or the EASST Secretariat, Secretariat.
