Workshop on Collaboration on Knowledge Infrastructures and Energy

Call for Projects:Collaboration on Knowledge Infrastructures and Energy
To be held at University of Edinburgh, Scotland, June 6-7, 2016

This exploratory workshop will discuss ideas for future collaborative research on a distinctive social studies of energy and information infrastructures and markets.
A number of groups of scholars have shared interests in social studies of science, technology and innovation. These include Edinburgh (e.g. the Energy and Society Research Group),
Copenhagen (e.g. the Markets and Valuation cluster), Santiago (The Millennium Center for Energy and Society Research) and Paris (Le Centre de Sociologie de l’Innovation, Paris Tech
Ecole de Mines).

This workshop is an opportunity for these groups and other interested researchers to share knowledge and to discuss their work, but first and foremost to articulate a provisional
research programme and explore concrete possibilities for common research projects (e.g. a possible Horizon2020 application in February 2017). Participants at the workshop are invited to present ideas based on an example of recent work using a sociological approach to societal innovations in energy markets, and/or information and knowledge markets and infrastructures.
