Call for Papers & Posters
11th Annual Graduate Student Conference
April 15-16, 2011 Washington, DC

http://stglobal.org

The Organizing Committee of the STGlobal Consortium is now welcoming submission
of abstracts for papers and/or posters to be presented at the 11th
Annual STGlobal
Conference for graduate student researchers.

Consortium Profile:  The STGlobal Consortium is an international,
interdisciplinary
organization of leading graduate programs in science and technology
policy (STP) and
science and technology studies (STS). The STGlobal conference,
presented in collaboration
with our Mission Partners, develops emerging S&T scholars and fosters mutual
understanding in the S&T community.

Topics:  Abstracts are welcome on issues relevant to science and
technology policy (STP);
science and technology studies (STS); and related fields including but
not limited to health,
energy and environment, space, information and communications,
innovation, education, and
ethical, legal and social implications of science and technology.

Eligible Presenters:  Open only to students enrolled in a graduate
program at the time of
submitting an abstract, for work performed while enrolled in that
program. Recent graduates
who were enrolled students at the time of submitting an abstract are
eligible as presenters.

What to Expect: Student presenters will receive constructive feedback
on their research,
learn about related research in other disciplines, and build national
and international
connections with one another, prominent scholars, and professionals.
Presentations are
typically 15 minutes long, depending on the number of presenters in
each session. Sessions
will be assembled around similar themes and conducted in English.
Students are encouraged
to prepare a poster to present at a reception or to complement their
formal presentation.
Prominent figures from both STP and STS will deliver keynote
addresses. Ample time is
allotted for networking and community building and a portion of the
conference will be
dedicated to career development.

Abstract Requirements:  Abstracts of up to 250 words will be accepted.
Abstracts should
summarize the research you want to present as a paper and/or poster at
the conference.
Abstracts will be selected based on significance of research question
and effectiveness in
communicating your completed or in-progress research.

Deadlines:
Recommended Submission Date for Abstracts:  November 15, 2010
Final Submission Date for Abstracts:   January 31, 2011

Submission Guidelines: Submit abstracts via e-mail to
abstracts at stglobal.org. Above your
abstract narrative (not included in 250 word count), please provide:
1) title of your paper
and/or poster; 2) your full contact information; 3) your expected date
of graduation; 4) school
affiliation; and 5) name and website of your academic program.
Acceptance: Abstracts will
be accepted on a rolling basis to accommodate students who need to
acquire a Visa.

Travel:  Please see: http://www.stglobal.org/travel.html.
International students from
countries that are not a part of the U.S. Department of State Visa
Waiver Program are encouraged to submit their abstracts as early as
possible. Links to important Visa information
are available on the STGlobal website. Travel Grants: Limited funds
are available for student
travel grants, to be awarded based on need and to early applicants. To
apply for these funds,
please attach your estimated travel costs and a brief statement of
need with your abstract.
