Call for papers, XVII International Triple Helix Conference 2019

Cape Town, South Africa, 9-11 September 2019


The XVII Triple Helix Conference 2019Triple Helix - a Catalyst for Change, will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 9-11 September. The Triple Helix model presents an opportunity to achieve innovation outcomes for the socio-economic good through collaboration with multi stakeholders within academia, industry and government spheres. Local and international researchers, policy makers and practitioners will gather together to discuss how to affect positive change by bringing the creators, implementers and enablers of innovation in social, economic and environmental  issues together in research collaborations, policy initiatives and political actions in society.

This call for papers  links the Triple Helix with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs-Agenda 2030) and the AU Agenda 2063. Exploring this connection  and developing  follow up will be a major projected  outcome of the 2019 conference.

SDG-Agenda 2030 are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 (Resolution 70/1) to "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." Agenda2063: Toward the Africa we want is the strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of the continent over the next 50 years adopted in 2015. These agenda aims to make the world a better place for all and calls on academia, governments and business to collaborate in new ways to make our world a better place to live in.

The concept of the Triple Helix of university-industry-government relationships initiated in the 1990s by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff, analyzes the shift from a predominant  industry-government dyad in Industrial Society to  triadic relationships among university-industry-government in the Knowledge Society.
The Triple Helix thesis is that the potential for innovation and economic development in a Knowledge Society resides  in a more prominent role for the university in innovation and entrepreneurship and in the hybridisation of elements of  institutional spheres  and actors, generating new institutional and social formats for the production, transfer and utilization of knowledge.
A growing community of  researchers, practitioners and policy makers carries the Triple Helixproject  forward into the 21st century  through the Triple Helix Association, including Helice, the Triple Helix Magazine and the open access Triple Helix Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship  and various world region, regional and local cognate  organizations, for example, The International Triple Helix Institute, Silicon Valley,  and its Global Entrepreneurial University Metrics (GEUM)  collaboratory project.


The call for conference papers, PhD session, poster and Panel session themes are:

Theme 1: The Role of the Entrepreneurial University and University-Industry-government interactions in the XXI Century’s Economic Development Agendas
Theme 2: Social Entrepreneurship and Inclusive Innovation in Civil Society: The Role of Design Thinking and Citizen Science
Theme 3: Post-Industrial Industrial Policy: Convergence and Fusion of Arts, Creative and Service Industries, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Genetic Technologies 
Theme 4:  Spacial and Temporal Axes of Innovation:  Innovation Spaces, Smart Cities and Knowledge-based Rural Development
Theme 5:  Gender and Indigenous Equity and Equality in Science, Technology and Innovation
Theme 6: Other topics related to Triple Helix

Call for Proposals: Special Issue of Socio-Economic Review

Understanding the Platform Economy: Socio-Economic Dynamics in new Digital Markets
Guest Editors
Elke Schüßler (Johannes Kepler University Linz)
Juliet Schor (Boston College)
Stefan Kirchner (Technical University Berlin)
William Attwood-Charles (Boston College)
 
Timeline
Papers can be submitted immediately, but no later than 15 March, 2019.
The targeted publication of the special issue is the July 2020 issue of Socio-Economic Review.
 
Background
The rise of digital platforms challenges traditional approaches to the organization of markets, work, and consumption and suggests a new economic era some have called the "platform economy." The aim of this Special Issue is to better understand the socio-economic dynamics structuring the platform economy, with a focus on new "sharing" and gig labor platforms.
 
Platforms for "crowdsourcing", "gigwork" and "sharing economy" such as Upwork, Uber and Airbnb organize buyer-seller relations in digitally-enabled marketplaces. These new marketplaces challenge existing economic practices and regulatory standards, disrupting established markets and forcefully creating new ones. A central feature of these marketplaces is the use of algorithms to set and enforce rules that shape the provision of services and labor. Algorithmic "management" has elicited critiques of the growing power of platforms to determine dynamics of value capture and distribution. Platform "workers" also resist control through work practices, exit and collective action. Citizens, consumers and regulators are contesting platform activities via bans, boycotts and legislative action. The companies use their power to shape these new, contested markets, but the future for platform capitalism is as yet unknown.
 
Our aim in this special issue is to bring together organizational, consumer, worker and regulatory perspectives on the platform economy to shed a new light on emerging market structures as well as central lines of contestation. We aim not only to advance empirical understanding of this new phenomenon, but also to contribute to a more theoretically informed debate in this multi-disciplinary, multi-faceted field of research.
 
Key Themes
 
Platforms as Market Organizers:
  • What are platforms' strategies for and practices of value creation and capture?
  • Taking different perspectives - local, national, and global: who benefits from what, when, and where in platform markets?
  • How are platforms' dual role as drivers for inclusion and inequality played out on dimensions such as race, class, gender, disability or legal status?
  • Do viable alternative platform governance modes exist (e.g. platform cooperatives)?
 
User Experiences and Consumption Patterns:
  • How do platform goods and services differ from conventional business offerings?
  • Does platform consumption build social connection, as companies have claimed?
  • How are ratings and reputational systems working?
  • How do consumers' motives and experiences vary by locality, nationality and global location?
 
Working in the Platform Economy:
  • What do we know about platform workers' experiences, job satisfaction and sociability, and how are algorithms, rating systems and other novel platform features affecting these outcomes?
  • Is platform work altering career trajectories?
  • Which forms of collective representation and resistance are workers engaging in?
 
Contested Markets as a Challenge for Regulatory Actors and Established Institutions:
  • Is there a new regulatory role for digital intermediaries and how are they engaging with traditional regulatory actors?
  • Is trust serving as a regulatory mechanism?
  • What is the role of social movements in the trajectory of platform capitalism?
  • How does the transnationality of platforms intersect with national or regional regulatory institutions?
 
We call for submissions that address one of these four themes and contain convincing conceptually grounded arguments in empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies. We particularly encourage cross-national research and studies of this sector in emerging economies.
 
Submissions
Papers will be reviewed following the journal's normal double-blinded review process and criteria. The maximum length of articles including references, notes and abstract is 10,000 words. Articles must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words. The main document has to be anonymous and should contain title, abstract, and strictly avoid self-references. Submissions should be directed through the on-line submission system: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ser

[Call for sessions] WINIR Conference on "Institutions & Inclusive Societies: Global & Comparative Perspectives", Lund University, Sweden, 19-22 Sept 2019


CALL FOR SESSIONS


The rise of new growth poles and the emergence of new global institutional dynamics are challenging the old divide between the developed and developing world. Although the majority of the world population has experienced improved living standards, there seems to be rising popular discontent with globalization as economic inequalities between and within nations are rising across the world.

As many now question whether globalization is compatible with inclusive societies, we must ask what lessons may be drawn from previous waves of globalization. What can be learned from the institutional changes involved in terms of both economic development and the distribution of the effects of globalization on the standards of living and capabilities of people? We must also ask if inclusive institutional strategies such as a renewed role of the welfare state can play an active role in contemporary societies. 

Organised in collaboration with Lund University’s Department of Economic History in Lund, Sweden, the Sixth WINIR Conference will explore these and other related issues. Contributions from any discipline, theoretical approach or methodology that address the challenges and dynamics of the economic, political, legal and social institutions of our time are welcome.
