The 13th Annual Dupont Summit on
Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy
POSTPONED TO: Friday December 2nd, 2022
Call for Proposals Now Open for 2022
Due to the uncertainties that are still ongoing around COVID-19, the event has been postponed. We encourage you to submit proposals for the next event. We’ll be hopefully meeting in person in 2022, but we’ll plan for a hybrid conference so as to allow remote speakers to participate.
The purpose of the Dupont Summit is to promote interdisciplinary dialogue about pressing issues related to science, technology and the environment. The conference mirrors the interest of the PSO and its partners in promoting conversation about current policy concerns.
Presented every year on the first Friday of December, the conference brings together academics, government, business and social leaders from a variety of backgrounds, for discussion about issues that include but that are not limited to:
- Health
- Energy
- National Security
- Information and Telecommunications
- Environment, Climate Change
- Biotechnology
- Genetics and Stem Cells
- Water and Natural Resources
- Science Research and Education
- Technology and Innovation, Space
- Ethical, Legal & Social Implications
Other topic suggestions are welcome. Papers are invited on the intersection of science with ethical and philosophical issues as well. Our goal is to promote multidisciplinary conversation and networking across the social and political spectrum. You may visit our journals through the links below for more information on the topics covered.
The call for proposals is now open for the 2021 general summit. In order to submit a paper for consideration, please send a 1-2 page abstract to PSO Executive Director, Daniel Gutierrez, at dgutierrezs@ipsonet.org, or call 202-349-9282. The deadline is August 20, 2021. Proposals submitted by the early deadline will be given priority.
As part of the Dupont Summit, the Promising New Scholarship and Complexity Conference for graduate students, post-docs, and new scholars allows scholars to practice presenting their research, methodological strategies, and/or ideas on how to build scholarship in the area of policy and complexity. Presentations will be followed by a group discussion of the presentations. There will also be an opportunity for publication in the conference proceedings. Organized by Journal on Policy and Complex Systems‘ Managing Editor, Liz Johnson, at Ljohnson1@carolina.rr.com. Please submit proposals or abstracts by November 15, 2021.
