Format: In-person seminar (no Teams)
This research seminar is intended for PhD students and academic staff working on topics related to organization studies, sustainability, innovation studies, science and technology studies (STS), and responsible research and innovation (RRI). Participants are invited to submit work-in-progress papers for feedback and discussion. Priority will be given to papers aligned with these themes or with potential fit for the journal Organization & Environment (ABS level 3).
