Sugimoto, chair of the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology and Professor Rob Kitchin from the Social Sciences Institute at Maynooth University.(the unconference was held at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), St Stephen’s Green South, Dublin.)Why an unconference? An unconference is an event where the attendees help set the agenda and content. Rather than papers and panels, we want to use this opportunity to foster networking and discussion.The goal of this inaugural event was to acknowledge the specificities but also international connections/reach of STS (and the general implications of scientific research and policy here in Ireland) and bring researchers together for networking from different institutional and disciplinary homes. The unconference format included panel talks and small-group discussions to explore various facets of the socio-cultural study of technology, science, and medicine.Schedule:9:45 Registration10:30-10:40 Overview/welcome10:45-11:40 Keynotes11:50-12:40 Panel discussion - Cassidy, Rob, Kalpana (Moderator - Christo)12:50-1:50 Lunch1:50-2:45 Breakout 1 (1:50 - 2:30, then return and discuss)2:45-3:40 Breakout 2 (2:45 - 3:40)3:45-4:30 Debrief and next steps4:30-4:45 ClosingNotes, further reading:Organised by Kalpana ([email protected]); Christo ([email protected])The Website and registration link:  https://stscommunityireland.wordpress.com/Supported by the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) Network Fund and the University College Dublin Centre for Digital Policy.Museum of Literature Ireland - https://moli.ieAcknowledgementsMusic Title: CrazyMixArtist: Allen Higgins using Sandbox Korg AbletonSource:  CrazyMix.aifLicense: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Cover Art Title: Inspired by Wordpress DefaultsArtist: Allen HigginsSource: CITO-podcast-STS.pptxLicense: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Podcast LicenseDesign Talk (dot IE) CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 The license can be viewed at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0By taking part you give permission for your voice to be recorded, for the recording to be edited, and for it to be posted and published as a podcast.
