The SDN Annual Meeting provides a forum for presenting research on salient issues in the contemporary politics of science and technology. The meetings train young scholars, foster international dialogue, and build improved understanding of ethical and policy challenges surrounding advances in science and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

What to expect:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speakers are expected to submit papers before the meeting, and attendees are expected to read these in advance. There are no parallel \u2018streams\u2019 in SDN. Everyone attends all presentations and participate in discussion. This plenary format contributes to the unique value of SDN as a place for nurturing intellectual excellence as well as personal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plenary roundtables featuring junior and senior members of the Network create additional opportunities for addressing issues of shared professional interest. In keeping with its core training and mentoring mission, the SDN meetings provide ample opportunities are graduate students to meet with more senior scholars. These interactions have proved extremely important for enlarging career opportunities for young scholars in STS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
