STAND (Historical Commission on Science, Technology and Diplomacy), Early Career Research Seminars 2025-2026, Call for Participants – Deadline 20 September 2025
This is an open call for participants for the STAND (Commission on Science,
Technology and Diplomacy) Early Career Researchers Seminar series for
2025-2026. The commission and its members examine the broad history of
science, technology and diplomacy and are looking for post-grads and early
career researchers to present during next year's online seminar series.
We are looking for researchers who address the history of science,
technology and medicine in their broad international contexts. Topics
include but are not limited to: science diplomacy, international
cooperation in fields related to science, technology and medicine, and the
transnational circulation of technoscientific and medical knowledge,
materials and expertise. Please see our website for more information on
previous presenters, and the work we do:

The seminars will run from October 2025 to ca. May 2026 usually on the
first Thursday of the month - dates tbc with organisers - and will be held
on Microsoft Teams.
Seminars last one hour and usually consist of a brief presentation followed
by Q&A. Possible formats include:
-
A pre-circulated work-in-progress paper (journal article draft, thesis
chapter, book chapter etc) of 10-20 pages, using the seminar as an
opportunity to gain feedback or suggestions for improvement.
-
A 20-30 minute presentation on your current research, followed by Q&A,
discussion and feedback.
-
An ‘in conversation with’ session where you are paired with someone with
similar research interests, to have a discussion on a particular topic. You
can also use this time to raise questions to experts or individuals working
on similar topics to you.
-
We welcome inquiries regarding alternative seminar formats, and
encourage you to get in touch if you are interested!
Please send any expressions of interest to STAND.ECR@gmail.com, in an email
which includes your name, short bio and a brief summary of your research as
it pertains to the seminar. We don’t need anything further at this stage,
but please indicate what format of session you would prefer. We also
encourage you to email us if you have any questions, queries or would like
to be included in the mailing list for the seminars if you are not already.
We’re particularly looking for someone to fill our October (Thurs Oct 9th)
session - so if you have some work you want feedback on soon, please let us
know!
Deadline: 20 September 2025
Kind regards,
Alice Naisbitt and Kat Zouboulakis
