The 'Science in society' initiative aims to stimulate the integration of research policies as well as scientific and technological work in the broader society.

The initiative undertaken in this field will provide support to:

  1. A more dynamic governance of the relationship between science and society
    Research on ethics in science and technology
    The reciprocal influence of science and culture
    Conditions for an informed debate on ethics and science

  2. Strengthening potential, broadening horizons
    Strengthening the role of women in scientific research
    Supporting formal and informal science education in schools as well as through science centres and museums and other relevant means
    Reinforcing links between science education and science careers

  3. Science and society communication (NB European focus)
    Encouraging a European dimension at science events targeting the public
    Science prizes

  4. Trans-national cooperation among National Contact Points (NCPs) for Science in society
