“The authors share the Commission’s foundational values for digital health governance; democracy, solidarity, inclusion, equity and human rights. We must fully embed youth and youth organizations, as research fellows, experts and innovators to accelerate progress towards UHC and equitable benefits to young people's health and well-being,” said Ilona Kickbusch, Chair of the International Advisory Board, Global Health Centre at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, Switzerland and co-Chair of the Lancet and Financial Times Commission.

“At a time when digital transformations are overtaking many policy areas including healthcare, it is increasingly critical to engage young people in shaping our collective future and to center digital and data governance on their innovative views,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO & Managing Publisher. “JSPG is proud to partner with GHFutures2030 on this special issue and to showcase next generation voices in developing future digital technologies and approaches.”

The Special Topics Issue competition, judged by an external review committee, aims to provide winning authors with the opportunity to present at a global digital health event in 2023 and be interviewed on GHFutures2030 Voices of Digital Health podcast. Information on the competition winners will be released at a later date.

WASHINGTON, DC (January 10, 2023) - The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the American Physical Society’s Forum on Physics and Society (APS FPS) are pleased to announce a call for papers and competition to explore the ways that scientific and engineering advances may reshape global security concerns and new policy approaches needed to address them, resulting in a special issue focused on Policy and Governance on Science, Technology and Global Security.
read the call for submissions
Students, post-doctoral researchers, policy fellows, early career researchers and young professionals from around the world are invited to submit op-eds, policy position papers and other articles addressing foreign policy and national security challenges. These include articles addressing both the direct impact of new technologies -- such as information technology and biotechnology -- on national defense and the indirect impact of technology-driven changes that could increase or decrease the potential for conflict. Submission deadline: April 30, 2023. 

This Special Issue is supported in-kind by outreach partners from the American Physical Society Forum on Early Career Scientists (APS FECS) and the Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University.

“Rapid advances in information technology, biology, energy technologies, and many other areas have the potential to create new areas of conflict, and new solutions to global problems.” said Henry Kelly, Past Chair of the APS Forum on Physics and Society. “These require a fresh approach to a range of domestic and international policies including national security and intelligence policies, foreign policy, economic policy and approaches to international development. A clear understanding of the new threats and opportunities created by scientific and technical advances are an essential part of the solution.”     

“Topics relevant to science, technology and global security are at the forefront of the policy landscape internationally,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO and Managing Publisher. “JSPG is thrilled to partner with the APS Forum on Physics and Society on this call for papers to showcase contributions of the next generation to this special issue around national security and foreign policy topics.”

In addition to publishing in the special issue, accepted papers will be entered into a policy paper competition, where a committee of experts in the science policy-security interface will select the top three articles. First, second and third place article winners will have the opportunity to present published work at events hosted by the APS Forum on Physics and Society.

Leading up to the submission deadline, JSPG and APS FPS will organize a series of training sessions to provide prospective authors with opportunities to practice policy writing, and to inspire and empower them with expert perspectives on science-policy communication to inform their submissions to the Special Issue.
