Compartimos aquí una interesante convocatoria de la EASST Conference en Trento (en inglés):

Going EASST virtually

a project for all those who don’t find
the time or money to go to conferences

“Practising science and technology, performing the social” is the title of the EASST010 conference in Trento (Italy) which takes place from 2nd to 4th September 2010 [0]. Many researchers in science and technology studies will go there, probably some technologists too. And a few students will be there too.
There are usually much more students interested in conference themes than those who actually find the time and money to finally attend such a conference.

For all those who cannot physically go to this conference, we started this little project, to in return make our own conference visit possible (as we got some financial support for this project by the local students union). On our weblog [1] we will provide live commentary of what we encounter at the conference. Additionally we will put there daily reflections on what is going on at the conference. We also will try to find some well-known science and technology scholars who have time to do an interview, which then will be provided at the blog. Besides the blog you can follow us on twitter [2].

All of the content we produce will be published under a Creative Commons Non-Comercial Share-Alike [3] license, and we are glad if anyone can make use of this stuff somewhere else.

We also invite other people who are actually going to the EASST010 to tell their stories - either by publishing directly on our blog or by meeting us at the conference so that we can interview them. In any case just give us a short notice.

To contact us, or if you have questions or suggestions you can reach us before, after and at the conference via e-mail:
sts@lnxnt.org

We are a bunch of computer science as well as science and technology students from Vienna (Austria) and beyond the conference itself we want to get critical and interdisciplinary discussions about science-technology-society relations going. Especially for Vienna we want to organize workshops and discussion groups after the conference and we aim at connecting interested students and scholars from different disciplines. Beyond our local context we will be glad about further inter-regional contacts and discussions.

Best wishes,
JoSo BeAch
