RACI opportunities: Conferences, symposiums, PhD positions
by Vesna Manojlovic 17 May '23

17 May '23

Dear colleagues, I am forwarding these interesting academic invitations. Vesna (see below for: www.nsuweb.org & https://symposium.openforumeurope.org ) === "Educational commons and active social inclusion" May 26-28, 2023, Volos, Greece https://smooth-ecs.eu/conference/ === ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity 22 - 27 October 2023 Cascais, Portugal https://2023.splashcon.org === From: Eric (eric.deibel(a)nsuweb.org) This is the call for the summer symposium, "What a waste: surplus art, theory and tékhnē", which will be the first summer session of our three year symposium series called: "Cybioses – life in the future imperfect" You can find a longer description of our symposium series and the abstract submission at the link below. It also includes all the details and background information: https://www.nsuweb.org/study-circles/circle-2-cybioses-life-in-the-future-i… The symposium is part of the Nordic Summer University (NSU), which organizes Nordic networks for interdisciplinary study and research, pioneering topics like technology, environmentalism, feminism within its tradition (see www.nsuweb.org). During the summer symposium there are many different symposia that are held at the same location, where all participants stay during its entire duration (see the link above for more information and the costs). Date & Place of the Symposium: July 27th– August 3th, 2023, Palanga Lithuania We invite scholars, artists, students, technologists, theorists and other professionals working or writing on topics related to "waste" to submit. Are approaches to "waste" as a meaningful intellectual category. Accordingly, the title "What a waste", begs the question of how to act with a less obvious lack of care and to act with purpose, which also extends to (our own) intellectual concerns and related practices. Which ones should have value, which should not? How do we decide what about art, theory and tékhnē are a waste, and what not? We welcome experimental approaches to presenting and collaborating and we hope this topic will deepen and re-new our collaboration, with previous and new participants. Feel free to contact us if you are wondering how you would fit in. Please send your abstracts with a short motivation letter and bio to us by the 12th of May to eric.deibel(a)nsuweb.org. And, please, help us spread the word. We look forward to your submissions and ask questions if you have them, Eric Deibel, (Assistant Professor/Lecturer, Bilkent University STS program), also on behalf of: Palle Dahlstedt (Professor of Interaction Design, University of Gothenburg / Chalmers) and Maru Mushtrieva (Researcher and text- and sound-artist with a background in literature and based between Berlin and Brussels.) === Subject: Vacancies for 4 PhDs and 1 Postdoc on community economy, sustainability, resilience From: Tine De Moor <demoor(a)rsm.nl> Dear colleague, Do you know of master-students and/or PhDs who are (nearly) finished and want to continue in Academia? We are looking for four PhD-students and one postdoc on the community economy for sustainability and resilience to complete our team (see information below). Deadline for all applications is 15th of May 2023. The envisioned starting date is September 2023. Many thanks for sharing these vacancies widely! If you wish to be updated on future vacancies (more to come this fall), do let us know via this email-address. Many thanks! Dr. Thomas Bauwens & Prof. Dr. Tine De Moor Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University ------------------------------------------ Building the Community Economy for Sustainability and Resilience Are you passionate about building sustainable futures for the planet and humanity, and about understanding the roles communities can play in the process? Do you want to be a part of cutting-edge research projects that address the ways communities and citizens can expand their impact to accelerate societal transformations towards sustainability? Then these exciting research opportunities are for you! Across the world, new bottom-up and self-governing enterprises are increasingly being set up by citizens and local communities in the fields of sustainable energy, the circular economy, shared mobility, food, care, and many others. Citizens hereby collectively govern and use resources as commons, through self-governance, according to the rules they decide upon as a group. How can such community and citizen-based enterprises scale their impact and transform society beyond markets and states? This is a critical and timely challenge, as scholars and policymakers have high expectations on the roles of communities and citizens to advance sustainability and resilience. Community and citizen-based enterprises are widely known to foster collective action locally. But what are the mechanisms through which they can achieve wider transformations to tackle urgent sustainability challenges such as climate change? What is the role of group size and heterogeneity for the resilience of – both historical and present-day – organisations and of society as a whole? These PhD and postdoc positions offer unique opportunities to delve into these fascinating topics and work together with other team members with expertise from various disciplines. PhD 1: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding challenges and solutions to organizational tensions PhD 2: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding the drivers and challenges for resource mobilization strategies PhD 3: Scaling community enterprises for sustainability: understanding the roles of social networks PhD 4: Institutions for collective action: link between size, heterogeneity, resilience Postdoc: Scaling the Societal Impact of Community Enterprises for Sustainability: an Analysis of the success factors of community enterprises’ scaling strategies Through these positions, the researchers will get the opportunity to work on key sustainability fields, including sustainable energy, the circular economy, the sharing economy, and natural resource management. The PhDs get a full-time salaried employment (not in the form of a scholarship) for 4 years without teaching obligations, with the option of a conditional 5th year. There are however opportunities to be involved in teaching. All positions are embedded within a group of researchers focussing on the Community Economy and Institutions for Collective Action at the Business-Society-Management department of RSM, where sustainability is central to all research and cooperation with other disciplines is key (see https://collective-action.info/_ctc_main/_tea_main/ for an overview of the group at the moment). They are part of different sub-projects: PhD 1, PhD 2, PhD 3 and the Postdoc-position are part of the new ERC Starting Grant project SCENSUS, led by Dr. Thomas Bauwens. SCENSUS stands for “Scaling the Societal Impact of Community Enterprises for Sustainability”). Click here for further information about the project or contact bauwens(a)rsm.nl for further information. PhD4 is part of the NWO-VICI-project UNICA, led by Prof. Tine De Moor. UNICA stands for “Building a UNified theory for the development and resilience of Institutions for Collective Action for Europe in the past millennium”. Click here for further information about the project or contact collective-action(a)rsm.nl for further information. Please note that there will be more vacancies -for postdocs and tenure-track positions- coming up soon. If you would like to stay up-to-date on these vacancies, send a mail to collective-action(a)rsm.nl. Thanks for sharing! Tine De Moor Professor Social Enterprise and Institutions for Collective Action Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus University demoor(a)rsm.nl www.collective-action.info | www.collectievekracht.eu ======== We are excited to invite you to the OpenForum Academy Symposium 2023 The CfP is now open until 29 May Hosted by TU Berlin, the OpenForum Academy Symposium will, on 28 November 2023, bring together researchers and practitioners from all walks of the Open Source research ecosystem at an interdisciplinary conference. Submit a proposal, register to attend and save the date Website and CfP https://symposium.openforumeurope.org As of today there is no academic conference covering questions relating to the social, political and economic impact of Open Source. This hampers the linking of research agendas, growth of the research area, and the societal understanding of the value of the Open Source ecosystem as a whole. The OpenForum Academy Symposium (OFA) fills this space. After a successful first, virtual edition in 2021, the OFA Symposium 2023 will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to Berlin, in order to explore the transformative power of Open Source Software and Hardware. At the OFA Symposium, we will examine the social, political, and economic implications of open source. We will explore how open source is changing the way we work, communicate, and interact with each other, and how it is shaping the future of technology and society. The Symposium will feature a diverse and group of speakers and participants, including researchers, policymakers, developers, and activists. We believe that the OFA Symposium will provide a unique and valuable opportunity for learning, collaboration, and networking. We hope you will join us for this exciting event, and look forward to exploring the social, political, and economic impact of Open Source together. https://symposium.openforumeurope.org -- Senior Community Builder, RIPE NCC https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/
