publication year 2007

"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. The report addresses “science in society” issues as integral parts of scientific research programmes and projects, rather than as separate activities."
