This is another opportunity to present partner state and commons concept.

but seems a bit academically biased.

maybe opportunities for our young fellows....

any contact to the organizers?

The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI is
organizing the 2nd biennial conference of the Eu-SPRI Forum (
http://www.euspri-forum.eu/). Fraunhofer ISI is celebrating its 40th
anniversary in 2012 and the conference will be a major part of the
anniversary celebrations. The conference will offer a keynote speech,
parallel thematic sessions, an Elevator Pitch Contest for young
researchers, a roundtable discussion, the ISI anniversary dinner at
Karlsruhe Palace (Schloss) and many opportunities for informal exchange.

Call for Abstracts

The Lund Declaration, which was handed to the Swedish Presidency of the
Council of the European Union by 400 prominent researchers and politicians
in 2009, states that "European research must focus on the Grand Challenges
of our time moving beyond current rigid thematic approaches. This calls for
a new deal among European institutions and Member States, in which European
and national instruments are well aligned and cooperation builds on
transparency and trust." The declaration thus asks EU institutions to play
a crucial role in bringing the relevant public and private actors together,
and helping to build more cooperation and trust in order to address the
overarching policy objectives.

This declaration has taken up and reinforced a development in the past few
years in which governments and the European Union have adopted a new
strategic rhetoric for their research and innovation policy priorities
which addresses the major societal challenges of our time. This is evolving
into the third major policy rationale besides economic growth and
competitiveness.

It is not yet clear whether and how any transformative effects from this
new mission-oriented approach can already be identified. The conference
aims to attract papers that discuss possible transformative effects at
different levels, i.e. on the actors performing research, innovation
processes, scientific fields and technological sectors, the institutional
funding and research landscape, society, the demand and user/beneficiary
side, research and innovation policy and financing, and national and
European political framework conditions. It also invites contributions that
critically discuss methodological issues, conceptual developments and novel
normative challenges around innovation and R&D policy triggered by the –
alleged – mission oriented turn.

This conference will bring together leading and up and coming researchers
across a range of social science disciplines and provide an open forum to
promote the emerging academic discussion about new developments in research
and innovation policy and their effects on knowledge production,
innovation  and grand challenges at different levels.

The conference welcomes papers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and
traditions, including policy studies, political science, sociology, science
and technology studies, public administration, the economics of science and
innovation, research management, entrepreneurship, technology assessment
and evaluation studies. The organizers encourage contributions that
conceptually and/or empirically advance the topic.

Specific Themes

1.        New patterns, drivers and models of innovation
2.       Policy instruments and their coordination
3.       Governance of transformative change
4.       New methods of policy analysis

Deadline and Requirements

Please *submit your extended abstracts* by January 31st, 2012. It should
include your name(s), affiliation(s) with full contact details, up to five
keywords and the sub-theme it is related to. The extended abstract should

motivation, (2) approach, (3) (expected) results, and (4) conclusion and/or
(policy) implications of the work. Please submit your document in DOC/DOCX

>From among the conference presentations, a selected number will be invited
to publish full papers afterwards in a journal special issue or conference
book.

Elevator Pitch Contest for young Researchers

Doctoral students and young researchers are invited to submit proposals for
an Elevator Pitch Contest. An 'elevator pitch' is a short speech used to
quickly and simply engage your audience for your research idea. It reflects
the idea that it should not take longer than an elevator ride to deliver a
convincing summary of your project (planned or in progress). At the
conference, you will have exactly 60 seconds for your pitch, and there will
be an audience prize for the winner of the contest.

*Applicants for the Elevator Pitch* *Contest* will please submit their
ideas by January 31st, 2012. Please submit a short abstract of not more
than 200 words of the idea together with your name, affiliation and contact
details, and give an additional description of the context of the research
project or idea. Please submit also a short bio and indicate which media
(PPT, audio, video, … ) you would like to use for your elevator pitch, if
at all.

Notification of accepted elevator pitches will be sent out by March 15th,
2012.

Abstract Submission and Registration

Please send your abstracts for presentations and proposals for the elevator
pitch to the organizers at contact at eu-spri-conference-2012.org.
