This meeting is formatted as an extended conversation. It is

intended to be a self-organized /user-generated
 
non-conference. All attendees are encouraged to present or
 
facilitate a session, and to restrict their talks to 10
 
minute informal presentations, with lots of time for
 
discussion and debate.
 
  
Purpose of the Meeting: There is a growing interest in the

history, philosophy, sociology, and strategic futures of
 
science and technology. In Europe, US, Latin America, and
 
Japan, there are scholarly associations and regular meetings
 
of societies for disciplines such as the History and
 
Philosophy of Science; Science and Technology Studies,
 
etc. In India, there are numerous specialized interest
 
groups, NGOs and think tanks conducting research and
 
advocacy in various fields relating to the social aspects of
 
science and technology. These conversational spaces for
 
informal discussion are intended not to consolidate but to
 
broaden this existing landscape, and to connect
 
"technoscience" scholars based in India with those based
 
elsewhere.
 
  
Desired Outcomes: Enhancement of networks among scholars

event; thus there is no intention of producing
 
policy-oriented documents. However, breakout sessions and
 
specialized interest groups may form, out of which a variety
 
of reseach projects may grow. ]
