Force11 Conference 2023: Call for Proposals (Lightning Talks)
Speak your mind on “Thinking/Acting: The Global and the Local”
The FORCE11 annual conference held online from April 18-20 will discuss open science in global and local contexts. We’re inviting proposals for lightning talks (particularly from those in Asia) that explore the theme of tensions between local ways of knowing and globally-imposed standards, and share insights on local academic citizenship and global systems of knowledge production, evaluation, and dissemination. Whether you see global and local contexts in research communications and infrastructure coming into conflict or creating synergies – take an opportunity to share your perspective.
To enable a truly global dialogue on this important topic, we especially encourage proposals from colleagues based in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as Africa and Latin America.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Translating international efforts into local-scale efforts
Learning from local-settings collaborations
(In)equity in the research ecosystem
Local needs vs. global interests
Local and global systems and infrastructure
Diversity, equity, and inclusion in scholarly communication
Local systems of knowing and knowledge-making as levers of global change
Lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic that helped amplify the global effects of local actions
Post-pandemic shift of scholarly communications events to in-person events and their implications on the local scales (threats, opportunities, and solutions)
“Glocalization” - research communication as both increasingly particular and universal
Inherent bias in artificial (and human) intelligence systems and their effects on local, minority and marginal populations
Roadblocks to bridging the gap between local and global communication in research and scholarship
Global actions that affect local thinking and local actions that affect global thinking
Please note the lightning talks of up to 10 minutes in length will be grouped in sessions taking place from 6pm Hong Kong | 12PM (Noon) Cape Town | 10am London onwards.
FORCE2022 will offer reduced registration tickets for participants from LMIC and for students. Scholarships will also be offered to help individuals with limited funding attend the conference.
