Abstract

Presenting author: Chiara Cararozza (chiaracarrozza@ces.uc.pt) Scientific mobility has been central to the Europe of Knowledge. While research has been oriented to support European policy, focusing on the driving forces and obstacles to mobility, its political dimension has remained underexplored. Following ‘mobility studies’ – mobility as the entanglement of movement, representation, and practice – and the STS notion of socio-technical imaginaries (Jasanoff), the paper analyses the discursive and material construction of scientific mobility in the EU and the narratives that support it. The paper will draw on different European documents (from official documents to policy reports) and on the governance of scientific mobility in the EU (i.e. the complex assemblage of actors, procedures, funding programmes, embedding the European representation of mobility), and will present preliminary work on cartographies of scientific mobility in Europe through digital methods.
