Conference : Public Engagement - How should science speak to you ?

What is the role of science towards society? What should it be?

Those questions have been adressed by scientists and philosophers throughout the ages giving us different answers and perspectives. Society expects science to provide answers to its major questions and science expects understanding from society instead of fear of the unknown.

Today we should evolve from a segregated model that separates science and society, moving to a more integrated model that thinks of science in society. What is such a model? What are the interactions between the two, what are they meant to be and how should they be measured?

Let's tackle these topics with brilliant scientific minds engaged in the communication of scientific breakthroughs to the public.
