Join us to celebrate the 10^th Biennial Atlanta Conference on Science and Innovation Policy (ATLC25). ATLC25 will provide a forum for researchers and policy practitioners to share and discuss innovative research that seeks to understand and address multi-dimensional global challenges.

Hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology, ATLC25 will be held May 14-16, 2025, at the Global Learning Center, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.    

Topics are inclusive of all:

• Modes of production (e.g., team science, co-production, collaboration)
• Forms of governance (e.g., regulation, policy, scientific organization)
• Sectors of innovation (e.g., technology commercialization, academic entrepreneurship)
• Career paths (e.g., diversity and inclusion, workforce development)
• Evaluation design (e.g., developmental, impact assessment, interventions, policy review)
• Societal considerations (e.g., sustainability, inclusivity, peace, competitiveness)

Submission Guidelines

The conference organizing committee invites detailed abstracts and proposals for the following three submission types:

1. Research presentations. Two-page abstracts that describe well-developed research questions, methodologies, and findings.  
2. Poster presentations. Two-page abstracts for posters that reflect empirical research findings from undergraduate, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows within three years of receipt of a doctoral degree. Posters will be eligible for a conference award and judged during the session.
3. Thematic sessions. Three to four-page abstracts for well-developed 90-minute sessions focused on a prescient conference theme and potentially reflective of our international scope.
