This annual conference provides a venue for graduate students from Science & 
Technology Studies, Science & Technology Policy, Environmental 
Studies/Policy and related fields to present and receive constructive 
feedback on their research. In developing the agenda for the conference, the 
organizing committee's primary goal is to create a forum that encourages 
intellectual exchange between STS, S&T Policy and Environmental 
Studies/Policy by assembling diverse and exciting panels around similar 
themes. As such, the committee will accept the strongest proposals on issues 
relevant to either field, and build the agenda around them. The agenda for 
last year's conference (www.stglobal.org) provides examples of common themes 
and topics that may be covered this year. In addition to presenting papers, 
students will have the opportunity to interact with each other and prominent 
scholars and professionals related to their field(s) of interest. Every year 
we invite prominent figures from both STS and S&T Policy to deliver keynote 
addresses. Because we draw participants from all over the world, this 
conference is an excellent opportunity for young scholars aspiring to work 
in academic, governmental, or non-governmental settings to build both 
national and international networks for future research and collaborations. 

The conference organizing committee welcomes submissions of abstracts (up to 
250 words) for a 15-minute presentation. Please submit abstracts and contact 
information to our website at www.stglobal.org by January 16, 2007. 
Notification of abstract acceptance will be given by February 7, 2007. 

Information concerning area lodging and registration is posted on the 
conference website. Travel funds are available for a limited number of 
presenters. Indicate your need for travel funds when submitting your 
abstract.  For further information, either e-mail abstract at stglobal.org or
