A first STS-MIGTEC network meeting took place in the planned dates of the EASST / 4S conference “Locating and Timing Matters: Significance and Agency of STS in Emerging Worlds” between August 18-21, 2020. As the organizers decided to migrate the event to the virtual timespace, we followed and had our meeting online.

About the event

The STS-MIGTEC Paper Workshops invite scholars to present and discuss current work in several panels, to plan future network research activities, and to think about interventions beyond academic research.
