STS – Science, Technology and Society Unit Christian Dayé studied sociology and philosophy at the University of Graz. He received his first degree in sociology with a thesis on the relevance of sociological theorizing in, and its adequacy for, R&D projects (MA, 2004). His dissertation research was again located at the intersection of science, technology, and society, yet approached its topic from a historical angle. The project explored the development of techniques of social prospection during the Cold War era, among them most prominently the Delphi procedure and political gaming, as attempts to systematize (and scienticize) expert policy advice (PhD, 2012). Results from this research have been published in various outlets, among them the journals History of the Human Sciences and Social Studies of Science. Accompanying efforts that addressed the interrelated questions how and why to write the history of the social sciences have led to an edited volume (Suhrkamp, together with Stephan Moebius) and a few further articles (e.g., in Science, Technology, & Human Values and The American Sociologist). Upon receiving his first degree, Christian started to work at the Department of Sociology of the University of Graz. Before settling on his dissertation research, he worked in a project that explored the sonificiation, i.e. the use of sound to explore the inherent structures and patterns of data. In 2015, he moved to the Department of Sociology at the University of Klagenfurt, where he stayed until he joined the STS Unit at TU Graz in late 2018. Here, he is working in the EU – CHIC project. Main fields of research Sociology of science, knowledge, and technology; Responsible research and innovation; Social research methods and methodologies; Sociological theory; History of the social sciences .

In Austria: Progress Toward a Professional Model Or Status Quo?
c e p s Journal | Vol.2 | No4 | Year 2012 91 The “New Doctorate” in Austria: Progress toward a Professional Model or Status Quo? Hans Pechar,*1 Gülay Ates2 and Lesley Andres3 • Until recently, both policy direction and public awareness of the Bologna Pro- cess has been focused almost unilaterally on the introduction of the Bachelor’s degree to European universities. This is understandable, as for most European countries, the Bachelor is a new academic degree. However, commencing with the Berlin Ministerial Conference (Realising the European Higher Education Area, 2003), reform of doctoral studies has been highlighted as a second equal pillar in the Bologna reform process. In this paper, we begin by providing an overview of the general policy background and the rationales that under- lie the attempts to restructure doctoral studies in Europe. Next, we focus on the specific situation in Austria, where peculiarities of the status quo collide with uniquely Austrian approaches to reforming doctoral education. Finally, through two case studies, we examine initial attempts – and related challenges – to implement the “New Doctorate” in Austria. Keywords: Bologna reform, doctoral studies, professional model, ap- prenticeship model, Austria 1 *Corresponding author.

Hans Pechar,* Gülay Ates in Lesley Andres • Do pred kratkim so bili politične usmeritve bolonjskega procesa in seznanjanje javnosti o njem skoraj enoznačno osredinjeni na vpeljavo prve stopnje študija (Bachelor) na evropske univerze.

Green, Pink and White: Can Europe Still Create Jobs?
Green, pink and white: Can Europe still create jobs? Brussels, 1-2 December 2014 Policy-makers often cite housing, transport and energy as being the sectors most likely to foster employment growth, but are their expectations justified? How will differences between European countries in terms of family values and ways of life influence the work opportunities available in the care sector? What are green jobs, and how are they created? How do companies and organisations cope with the skill challenges of elderly workers? How has the demand for skills changed and what trends can we determine for the future? These are some of the questions that NEUJOBS researchers will try to address during the final conference of the project, after four years of research, the publication of two books and more than 100 papers.
