The 2026 meeting of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) invites panels, presentations, making & doing contributions, and other events that explore the role of STS in making and doing contributions to transformations in an era of grand societal challenges.

The conference will take place on October 7–10, 2026 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel located in downtown Toronto. Our forthcoming travel pages will share information on visiting Toronto. This meeting will be predominantly in person, but with hybrid set-up to enable online participation.

The call for submissions will open towards the end of December, 2025. More soon!
