CALL FOR PAPERS - 'Gender Issues in Science, Technology and Innovation'
Specialist Track Gender issues in Science, Technology and Innovation are
increasingly salient to achieve the objective of maximising the
utilization of human capital for building the Knowledge Society. They have
grown in importance and expanded in recent years, as science has become an
increasingly significant pillar of knowledge-based economies. This
specialist track aims to explore the state-of-the-art in research on the
interface between gender, science and the economy based on studies and
analyses of scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and entrepreneurs
around the world, thus placing the conference theme into a global context.

Topics:

 1.  Participation and advancement of women in traditional and emerging
science-related professions. 2.  Women and men's position in Science,
Technology and Innovation professions: is it a matter of culture, social
structure or individual agency? 3.  New hybrid occupations at the
intersection of science and business, public policy, media, etc. 4.  Work/
life balance in traditional and emerging science-related
professions.

Closing Date for Abstract Submission: 28 November 2008, 5.00 pm GMT.
