The IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca welcomes submissions for a two-day workshop dedicated to examining how recent advances in Artificial Intelligence are shaping research, innovation, and organisational arrangements in science-intensive environments. The event brings together scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral candidates working at the intersection of technology studies, management, economics, sociology of science, computer science, and related fields.
The workshop addresses three thematic areas:
AI and R&D Dynamics
Contributions exploring how AI tools reshape discovery, experimentation, project organisation, search processes, or innovation trajectories within private firms and public organisations.
AI-Enabled Developments in Scientific Research
Studies investigating shifts in research workflows, data practices, methodological preferences, evaluation standards, or publication processes prompted by generative systems, machine learning, and related approaches.
AI and Organisational Change in Research Settings
Analyses concerning organisational arrangements within research infrastructures, laboratories, and broader ecosystems, including governance, coordination, expertise, and resource allocation.
Submission Guidelines
Participants may submit a full paper or an extended abstract (1,000–1,500 words). Submissions should outline the research question, theoretical framing, methodological approach, and expected contribution. All submissions will be reviewed by the workshop’s scientific committee.
Format
The workshop will feature paper sessions, discussant feedback, and roundtable discussions fostering cross-disciplinary exchange.
