EU-SPRI 2025 International Conference – Call for abstracts and papers

© Euspri
The 2025 Eu-SPRI Annual Conference will be hosted by the Social Research Center at TU Dortmund University in Dortmund, Germany, in collaboration with other groups within the university. The main conference will take place on the 11th to 13th of June 2025, with a preceding Early Career Event on June 10th.

The leading question of the event is: “What contribution can STI policy make in order to ensure prosperity in an effective and sustainable way and to create a just and resilient society in which nature and the environment, the economy and people’s needs are in harmony?”

In recent years, the question of the contribution of STI policies to overcoming the major societal challenges and supporting the necessary transformation processes has increasingly become the focus of attention. Against the backdrop of deepening social, ecological and economic crises, the question of the extent to which STI policy is able to respond to rapidly changing and often unpredictable developments and to strengthen the resilience and the innovative capacity of our societies is becoming more and more important.

Target groups of conference are academic researchers from a broad range of disciplines, as well as STI policymakers. More information about the conference and registration you find here.

Authors are invited to submit an abstract by the 31st of January 2025 to one of the thematic conference tracks or to the open track, which will then be peer-reviewed. If the abstract is accepted, authors are required to submit their final paper/extended abstract or poster by May 18th 2025.
