Dear PSCI-COM list members
I hope that some of you may be able to assist me in providing "evidence of
the importance given to public understanding of science in other countries".
I have to prepare input for our Minister of Science &
Technology for his budget vote speech in the South African Parliament. What
I'm looking for
is just one or two strong statements from other governments - from
Ministers' speeches or policy documents or whatever - about the importance
of "public understanding of science" or any other evidence that other
governments are investing quite heavily in public understanding of science.
If you are able to help with anything like this, please let me know.
