Dear All
some of you may be interested in this special issue of New Technology,
Work and Employment which Professor Pooran Wynarczyk and I are editing.
We are calling for papers that deal with issues around work, employment,
skills, supply and demand for the scientific workforce, and management
strategies involved in building a science and innovation base.
Addressing such issues is important given Governments (here in the UK and
abroad) are increasingly becoming aware of the need to develop and
maintain the supply of scientists, engineers, technologists and
mathematicians (STEM), seeing their availability and skills as vital to
national and regional research and development (R&D), technological
advance and innovation potential and capacity. We are inviting papers that
explore the implications of such policies for the acquisition, management
and maintenance of scientific labour, as well as the development, role and
contribution of innovation and scientific-based firms in the economy.
More details are attached. The edition is scheduled for publication in
Autumn 2009 and the deadline for papers is April 30 2009. NTWE is an ISI
ranked journal.
Please feel free to forward the call to others who may be interested.
Best wishes
Rowena
