> *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.
>
