EASST WORKSHOP

15-16 April 1999, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK

The Structures and Dynamics of Research Policies in Europe

The purpose of this workshop, sponsored by the European Association for
Studies of Science and Technology (EASST), is to bring together researchers
involved in the study of EU research policies and to discuss the variety of
theoretical and methodological approaches underlying empirical studies. In
addition, the workshop is intended to facilitate interaction between
researchers and policymakers with the purpose of considering appropriate
ways in which the knowledge being produced in this area of enquiry can be
consolidated and fed into policy debates and structures, both within
national and European settings.

The development and implementation of EU research policies poses a number of
interesting and challenging questions for scholars within the field of
science policy studies. First, there are questions about the content of such
policies: what is specifically European about what the EU is advocating,
where do the ideas originate, and how are global science policy trends
translated into the European scene? Second, there are questions about the
nature of EU policymaking processes: the actors, mechanisms, and processes
involved in formulating EU research policies. Third, there are questions
about the policy instruments employed: for example, the fit between the
structuring of a Framework programme and the policy objectives it is
designed to meet. And, fourthly, there are questions about the relationship
between EU level activities and developments within national research
systems, the impact of EU policies at various levels, from the
transformation of local research practices to changes in national
policymaking arrangements. Underlying all of these questions are concerns
about the relationships, and flows of influence, between the EU and its
member-states, as well as the position of the EU within a broader context of
other trans- and international research initiatives.

Call for papers

We expect papers to engage with the questions raised above. Abstracts of no
more than 250 words and a brief curriculum vitae should be sent to the
postal or e-mail address below by January 4th 1999. Proposals should include
an email address for correspondence. Abstracts from graduate students in all
fields are encouraged.

If you wish to attend, but do not wish to present a paper, you should send a
250 word description of your current research interests by the same date.
Decisions will be communicated by 30th January. The total number of
participants is limited and will be not more than 40. In addition to the
accepted proposals, there will be invited papers and discussants from the
Commission.

The workshop will be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.
Guildford is an historic town 50 km south-west of the centre of London. It
is easily accessible from London Gatwick and Heathrow airports, or by train
