*Call for Applications for the Annual EASST Fund (2020)*
We are pleased to announce the call for applications for the EASST Fund
2020. Several successful applications will be awarded with €1000 funding.
The scheme aims to promote national and cross-national community building
within EASST, advance new questions, topics and perspectives in science and
technology studies, as well as enable collaboration with non-academic
actors publically engaged in science and technology. EASST wishes to
support a range of activities such as the organisation of conferences,
network meetings, seminars, workshops, summer schools, etc. EASST is
particularly keen on providing funding for dissemination of such
activities, e.g. through social media or other means, like short movies.
We welcome Network and Community-building activities organised by, or
leading to, the creation of national and regional academic associations or
other academic and non-academic initiatives committed to the promotion of
scholarly and public engagements with science and technology in the
European region. Examples of activities supported in previous rounds: STS
Austria launch event in Vienna, Spanish STS network (esCTS) annual
meetings, Technosciences of Post/Socialism conference in Budapest,
Mattering Press open-access STS publishing initiative.
We similarly encourage the organisation of Workshops and Small conferences
within Europe with the potential of making significant theoretical and/or
empirical contributions to the field.
Examples of supported activities from previous rounds: STS Perspectives on
Energy conference in Lisbon, Does History Matter? Techno-sciences and their
historically informed policies conference in Athens, STS and Development
workshop in Amsterdam. Activities should start between 1 January 2020 and
31 December 2020.
EASST especially invites applications from parts of Europe where EASST
activities and membership are under-represented (Southern and Eastern
Europe). There is a total budget of €5000 for this call. By default, we
offer € 1000 for successful applicants, but we also accept applications for
smaller sums. The proposed activities can be fully or partially funded by
EASST. There are no quotas for the announced support categories.
*How to apply? *
· Applications can be submitted only by EASST members.
· Applications should specify the category they apply for and
include a description of the proposed activity, addressing the criteria
below. They should also include the proposed venue, date, organisers and
expected number and profile of participants (when applicable) along with a
budget specifying how the funds requested will be allocated.
· Applications should be on our application form which can be
downloaded here:
https://easst.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Application-Form-for-EASST-Fund-2020.docx
and submitted to [log in to unmask] no later than 10 December 2019.
*Assessment of applications*
The key considerations in assessing the applications are the following:
Community building on the national and cross-national level and reaching to
a European audience. Particular emphasis is given to novel network
initiatives, especially in countries under-represented in EASST (Southern
and Eastern Europe). Novel academic questions, new collaborations, and
reaching beyond academia. Innovative initiatives in academia (e.g.,
open access publishing) and public engagement in science and
technology. Open activities accessible for a wide array of participants and
reaching a broad audience. Feasibility and value-for-money. We particularly
welcome initiatives with limited access to other potential sources of
funding.
Communication of award is expected by late December 2019/early January
2020. Recipients should notify the Council their acceptance of award within
15 days after the awards communication.
*Funding requirements*
Since only a small number of EASST members will benefit directly from the
activities, an approx. 2,000 words report will be required from those
receiving awards which will be considered for publication in EASST Review.
Beyond this, EASST also encourages applicants to pursue further strategies
to address or involve the EASST membership more widely (such as a video
from the activity which can appear on the EASST web-site or an online
discussion or a web-exhibition, Twitter hashtag #EASST). EASST support
should be recognised in the public dissemination of the funded activity.
This could involve the use of the EASST logo or a short statement on
publicity or event materials. The awarded amount will be transferred
against invoices after the event. In exceptional cases, full or partial
pre-funding can be provided.
