SSTNET Virtual Workshop 2023 11-15 September, online
It is a truth universally acknowledged that we live in troubled times. Some
call this policrisis, with so many threats and disasters engulfing humanity at
the same time. Many look to science and technology as a potential solution to
many of these threats. And it is true that science brought us an effective
vaccine for SARS-COV2 in record time and that innovative technologies are a
key resource for indispensable Food-Energy-Mobility- Digital transitions. But
at the same time, science and technology also generate new problems and
challenges. From robots that can take our jobs to AI that can be used to make
life and death decisions, from genetic manipulations that can have unforeseen
consequences to geoengineering experiments that can change the world. And the
fabric of science itself seems to be unraveling, with millions of scientific
papers being published each year, accompanied by a decreasing ability to
perform sound peer review, a mounting replication crisis and an accumulation
of cases of downright scientific fraud.
In the interim year before the next ESA Congress, the SSTNET - ESA RN24
Science and Technology Board thinks it is suitable that we create a space of
discussion for research on some of these challenges. We therefore invite all
network members and STS scholars to take part in a virtual workshop that will
take place over five afternoons in mid- September. The workshop will comprise
five thematic strands:
Trust in Health Data: representations, reflections and diffractions,
conveners Paraskevas Vezyridis (Nottingham University Business School, UK) and
Aaro Tupasela (University of Helsinki, Finland)
Building trustworthy AI for public sector, conveners Marta Choroszewicz
(University of Eastern Finland, Finland) and Heta Tarkkala (University of
Helsinki, Finland)
Publish, or Perish. Is that the question?, conveners Paolo Parra Saiani
(University of Genoa, Italy) and Lus Junqueira (ISCTE-IUL, Portugal)
To be defined

We invite proposals for the two remaining strands until the 15th of April.
Please send a short description, including both the thematic content and
format for the strand, and the name of two conveners, who will be responsible
for selecting the abstracts, to:
ana.delicado@ics.ulisboa.pt. The call for
papers for the five strands will be open between the 1st and the 31st of May.
