There'll be an essay on this in the book which Wellcome are publishing in
mid July on recent work in public engagement, from Edna Einseidel at Calgary
- gives an interesting view of some aspects of the North American scene
which aren't well known over here.

>Hi all,
>Would you please let me know of examples/models for engaging the broader
>public(s) in science? I am interested in models that promote lay person
>input into science policy and research trajectories, e.g. The Danish Board
>of Technology. I am not so interested in the different tools that can be
>employed in this activity e.g. consensus conferences, citizen juries etc,
>but rather the greater organisation and how that links into society and
>government.

>Thank you and I hope you enjoy your weekend.
