SUMMARY:The Role and Governance of Science and Technology Organisations in Innovation Policies: Addressing Grand Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Call for Submissions and Financial Assistance – Eu-SPRI 2025 – Valencia\, 10-12 June \nThe Role and Governance of Science and Technology Organisations in Innovation Policy: Addressing Grand Challenges \nThe evolving relationship between science\, technology\, and industry has become a cornerstone of societal progress. Historically shaped by military-industrial paradigms and supply-side innovation models\, science\, technology\, and innovation (STI) policy frameworks are increasingly expected to respond to complex\, systemic challenges such as the climate emergency\, global health crises\, and digital transformation. Current debates in innovation studies\, including mission-oriented and transformative innovation policies\, seek to better integrate sustainability objectives and societal demands with socioeconomic development. However\, many STI policy organisations originated from\, or were heavily influenced by\, earlier policy paradigms that may no longer align with contemporary societal needs. \nThese shifts call for a rethinking of the institutional architecture of innovation systems and the evolving roles of innovation policy organisations\, including public research institutes and labs\, universities\, research and technology organisations\, state investment banks\, and innovation agencies. \nThis track invites contributions that explore how STI organisations have been used and are being reconfigured to address grand societal challenges\, and which governance models\, institutional arrangements\, and organisational capabilities are most effective in fostering inclusive and sustainable development. Contributions may engage with a broad range of issues\, including institutional responses to societal needs\, organisational adaptation\, inter-organisational coordination\, and the comparative effectiveness of innovation policy instruments and actor constellations across different national and sectoral contexts. \nThis track welcomes conceptual\, empirical\, and comparative contributions addressing questions such as the following: \n\nWhat roles can different types of STI organisations play in addressing grand challenges?\nWhat institutional configurations best support inclusive and sustainable innovation?\nHow do organisations harness science and technology to address societal challenges?\nHow do governance models affect organisational responsiveness and policy impact?\nWhat lessons can be drawn from cross-country and cross-sectoral case studies?\nHow are missions interpreted\, operationalised\, and translated into organisational practices within STI organisations?\nHow can STI organisations be monitored and evaluated for societal relevance\, while also enabling learning and reflexivity?\nHow do policy mixes and governance arrangements enable or constrain the implementation of challenge-oriented policies?\nWhat tensions\, trade-offs\, or unintended consequences emerge when STI organisations pursue challenge-oriented policy goals?\n\nGiven the need to further develop the theoretical base of challenge-oriented policy studies and the importance of learning from diverse global contexts\, we particularly invite contributions focusing on the Global South\, which remains relatively underexplored in the literature. At the same time\, we encourage comparative perspectives that draw on experiences from advanced economies. \nTo foster a productive exchange of ideas across career stages\, this track aims to bring together early-career researchers\, senior scholars\, and policymakers. We particularly encourage submissions from early-career researchers and aim for them to constitute at least half of the presentations in the track. \nSession Structure \nTo facilitate a productive exchange of ideas\, we plan to convene early-career researchers alongside senior scholars/policymakers. The proposed structure for the session is as follows. \n\nPresentations (selected applicants\, at least half ECR).\nThe selected contributors will present their paper\, followed by a short Q&A session.\nDiscussion\nThe presentations will be followed by an interactive discussion involving the audience.\nNetwork event\nYSI would also be able to invite the participants\, both young scholars and seniors\, to celebrate their participation in the event with a mingle and dinner event. This would be an opportunity for exploring collaborations and continuing some of the discussions in a more informal environment.\n\nApplication \n\nThe YSI participants will be selected following the Eu-SPRI application procedure. Submit your abstract to the track titled “The Role and Governance of Science and Technology Organizations in Innovation Policies: Addressing Grand Challenges”\, under the topic of “The changing roles of STI actors”.\nOnce you have been selected by the Eu-SPRI review process\, you can apply here for YSI funding.\n\nPlease Note:\nYou can only apply to this YSI assistance once your application to this track has been selected by Eu-SPRI. Please do not apply to YSI unless you have received a positive result from the conference. \n\nYSI will be able to partially fund the travel and accommodation of selected participants.\nPlease remember that YSI does not cover conference fees.\nIf you are affiliated with an Eu-SPRI member institution\, you will receive support from the Forum and may need less or no support from YSI.\nIf you have been selected to take part in the Imagining Futures Early Career Event on June 9th you can apply for more accommodation days (note that they only offer 5 non-Eu-SPRI places; Eu-SPRI places already include accommodation).\n\nImportant Dates \nAbstract submission at Eu-SPRI’s ConfTool: it will open on 12 January and close on 16 February.\nNotification of acceptance: TBA\nSubmission of final papers\, extended abstracts: 17 May.\nRegistration period: mid March to the end of May.\nConference dates: 10-12 June 2026 (with pre-event on the 9th for those selected by Eu-SPRI).

SUMMARY:XX JORNADAS DE ECONOMÍA CRÍTICA – ESPAÑA
DESCRIPTION:The Jornadas de Economía Crítica (JEC) are a long-standing\, self-organized academic conference that has brought together heterodox economists in Spain for nearly two decades. The 2026 edition continues this tradition by providing a plural and critical space for debate on contemporary economic challenges\, fostering dialogue across different heterodox traditions and methodological approaches. \nJEC 2026 will be held in Spain and aims to strengthen academic exchange among scholars based in different regions of the country\, while also opening the conference to participants from other parts of Europe and Latin America. More information about the conference\, thematic areas\, and organizational details is available at: \n???? https://jec2026.com \nThe conference is organized around parallel thematic sessions\, keynote lectures\, and spaces for collective discussion\, with a strong emphasis on early-career researchers and PhD students. As in previous editions\, JEC 2026 seeks to reinforce networks within heterodox economics and contribute to the continuity of critical economic debate in Spain. \nFunding and participation \nParticipants interested in receiving financial support must complete the funding application form. Funding will be allocated exclusively among applicants whose papers have been accepted for presentation at JEC 2026. Selection will be based on academic merit and relevance to the conference themes. \nApply here: https://forms.gle/HR692mvZNjKixpRK8
