SUMMARY:WINIR Young Scholars Pre-Conference Workshop on Governing Emerging Technologies: Navigating Public-Private Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:We invite early career researchers to submit abstracts for the WINIR Young Scholars Pre-Conference Workshop on Governing Emerging Technologies: Navigating Public-Private Boundaries which will be held at Sapienza University of Rome in Rome\, Italy on 21 July 2026. As technologies such as AI\, blockchain\, biotechnology\, and data-driven systems increasingly shape economic\, social\, and political life\, their governance reveals how institutions balance public interests—transparency\, fairness\, accountability—with private incentives. The main WINIR Conference on Private & Public Institutions for Good Governance will be held at Sapienza University of Rome on 22-24 July 2026. \n  \n\n\n\n\nScholarship across institutional economics\, organizational sociology\, legal studies\, political science\, and science and technology studies is examining the hybrid arrangements emerging among technology companies\, state regulators\, international organizations\, and civil society. These developments raise fundamental questions about institutional design\, legitimacy\, power\, and accountability. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop brings together early career scholars employing institutional theory to analyze how governance of emerging technologies reconfigures the boundaries between public and private authority\, responsibility\, and value creation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe welcome theoretically-grounded empirical research\, comparative studies\, and conceptual papers that illuminate: \n\nHow governance regimes for emerging technologies allocate responsibilities and define the “public good”;\nThe role of private actors in shaping quasi-regulatory norms\, standards\, and infrastructures;\nInstitutional innovations or failures in the pursuit of shared or collective goods;\nTransnational or multi-stakeholder arrangements for the oversight of emerging technologies;\nThe implications of technological governance for democratic legitimacy\, equity\, and social welfare.\n\n\nWe are also open to considering abstracts of outstanding quality that do not explore the governance of emerging technology but are strongly grounded in institution theory. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEligibility\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApplicants working in economics\, law\, sociology\, anthropology\, development studies\, and other related disciplines are encouraged to apply. Eligible applicants should either be enrolled in a doctoral research programme or have graduated no more than three years before 31 March 2026. Successful applicants will be invited to present their research to a supportive audience of peers and senior scholars and receive constructive conceptual and methodological critique. Partial within region travel stipends may be awarded to a limited number of participants to assist with travel to Rome. \nPriority will be given to first-time attendees at the WINIR Young Scholars conferences. \n\n\n\n\n\nSubmission guidelines\n\n\n\n\nSubmissions should be sent using the designated form. Please follow these instructions closely: \n\nAbstract: A 500-word abstract with 3 to 5 keywords. Save the file as: LastName_FirstName_Title.\nShort Bio: A brief biography indicating your discipline and institutional affiliation. Save the file as: LastName_FirstName_Bio.\nAn updated CV: Your updated CV including education and work experience. Save file as: [Save As – LastName_FirstName_CV.pdf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubmissions should be sent using this form. \nPlease address all inquiries to youngscholars@winir.org. \n  \n\n\n\n\nAbout WINIR Young Scholars \n\n\n\n\nWINIR Young Scholars (WYS) aims to identify and promote the next generation of institutional scholars from diverse geographies\, sociocultural contexts and disciplines.
