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.
It's a glorious 22 degrees here in Ireland and we have a full three days off
:-)
