To support the research and visibility of early career researchers in Science and Technology Studies, STS Austria will, for the second time, award a prize for the best publications by young
researchers in 2023. The award addresses published academic writings by early career
researchers demonstrating the relevance, productivity, and critical potential of Science and Technology Studies research. In particular, we are searching for publications that excel in one or several of the following categories: societal relevance, quality of writing, and theoretical or methodological innovativeness.
To foster exchange among the Austrian STS community and increase its visibility, STS Austria will financially support 1-2 academic events in 2023. A total of € 1,500 is available for this purpose. Only members of STS Austria are eligible to apply, but potential co-organisers of the event do not need to be members. We will fund different kinds of events (workshops, conferences, lectures, roundtable discussions, working groups) supporting the mission of STS Austria. In particular, we invite applications for events which a) address early-career researchers, b) involve cooperation between different institutions and/or c) take place outside of Vienna.
At the general assembly on December 6, 2022, a new STS Austria board was elected featuring representatives of several Austrian institutions and three early-career researchers. Doris Allhutter was elected as president, and Erik Aarden will resume his position as treasurer. We thank our outgoing board members and president for their service and are looking forward to the new board’s activities in 2023-2024!
We warmly invite you to our upcoming business meeting!

Workshop STS Austria, 13-15 September 2021, Graz
Science and Technology Studies has repeatedly shown that the social, cultural, technological and political conditions of research, knowledge production and innovation processes are being re-shaped through the digitization of data, the virtualization of communication and collaboration, and the design of underlying infrastructures.
