Atlanta Conference on Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy 2007
Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
October 19-20, 2007
Submissions: February 5, 2007
The landscape of global innovation is shifting, with new problems and actors emerging on the scene. National governments are looking for new strategies, and they are turning to the science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy research community for models and research results to tell them what works and what doesn't, under what circumstances. The Atlanta Conference provides an opportunity for the global STI policy research and user communities to test models of innovation, explore emerging STI policy issues, and share research results.
The Program Committee of the Atlanta Conference (ATLC07) invites proposals for full papers or poster presentations that shed light on the emerging issues of science, technology, and innovation in global economy and society. Areas for submission include, but are not limited to:
Innovation in new forms and formats; markets, organizations, and industries in transition
Emerging global networks of scientific communication
Workforces and workplaces of science and technology; career opportunities for scientists and engineers
Government policies for encouraging knowledge based and learning economies, North and South
Intellectual property regimes for supporting innovation in different national contexts
Globalisation of R&D and changing roles of transnational corporations and government policies
Impacts of China and India in the global innovation ecology
Innovation to address global energy, environmental, and health challenges
Localization and globalization of careers for scientists and engineers
Science and technology in governance and the governance of science and technology
For full paper presentations, authors should submit an extended abstract of up to two pages, detailing research questions, methods, and the expected status of results at the time of the meeting. For poster presentations, a one-paragraph abstract is sufficient, with an indication of the expected state of results at the time of the meeting. Full papers will be expected by September 15, 2007 and will be included in the conference proceedings.
Deadline for submission: February 5, 2007, to:
