The AsSIST-UK Early Career Researchers (ECR) Group and the Institute for the Study of Science, Technology and Innovation (ISSTI) at the University of Edinburgh are pleased to announce the annual week-long writing retreat between 15th and 22nd February 2025.
The retreat will be hosted at Fyvie Castle near Turriff in Aberdeenshire, which is an 800-year old Category-A-listed fortress owned by the National Trust of Scotland. We have space for 12 early career academics and scholars working on pieces of writing related to core topics in science, technology and innovation studies (irrespective of what department they are based in).
You must have a writing project to work on and be a Masters or PhD student, or early-stage academic within 5 years of receiving your PhD, engaging in research in a topic relating the broad fields of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Innovation Studies.
Alongside writing, there will be opportunities for informal feedback and discussion of cross-cutting topics and issues, as well as film nights, nature walks, etc.
There is no travel funding available this year, but as before, the attendance is free of charge.
Apply now – the deadline is 22nd December 2024.
