Founded in 2007, East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal is the first English-language journal dedicated to the promotion of STS and the advancement of STS scholarship in East Asia. EASTS has been a witness to how STS is playing an active role in the transformation of a flourishing East Asia, and the journal itself has enjoyed global visibility, as seen at 4S Annual Meetings. Therefore, the 2017 4S Annual Meeting, held in Boston from August 30 to September 2, was the perfect occasion for EASTS to celebrate the achievements of its first decade and to inaugurate a second. As a part of the 4S Annual Meeting program, four sessions proposed by EASTS editors comprised a one-day workshop titled "Prospects in East Asian Science, Technology and Society" that nicely reflected the locally rooted and problem-based nature of East Asian STS and its intellectual position as STS goes global (a detailed program follows this report). The workshop not only aimed to review the changing landscape of STS through EASTS but also responded to a call for new strategies, trajectories, and visions to find, within East Asia, ways of doing STS that work for East Asia.
