Final Report of the Study on the Integration of Science and Society Issues in the Sixth Framework Programme

"This report is based on the findings of a series of studies on the integration of Science and Society issues in FP6: the embedding study, which focused on education, stakeholder dialogue and public outreach actions in FP6 projects; the series of gender monitoring studies of specific programmes; and the study of the socio-economic and foresight dimensions. (...) The aim is to raise awareness of the relevance of key Science in Society issues, and to demonstrate in practical ways how these issues can be addressed within research programmes and projects.

Research and Societal Engagement

"EURAB has established a Working Group to address the means for engagement and dialogue between societal actors and the research community. With public mistrust in certain research-based institutions on the rise, there is a growing concern to engage more at the societal level. (...) This report will focus on recommendations to the community of researchers to engage with other relevant segments of the public in order to take societal questions and concerns more into account. Successful innovation will require not only the cooperation of academia and business, but also a close engagement with societal actors. This will not only shape current innovations, but also help identify future needs."
