Communication and Engagement
Details of the Communication and Engagement work of the Science and Society Team in BIS.
The Communication and Engagement of the Science and Society team is all about raising public awareness, engagement and support for science and technology by enabling citizens across all social groups to engage with science constructively and ensuring that scientists and policy makers recognize and address the public's priorities and concerns.
Achieving this is a long-term challenge and one of the biggest faced by both Government and the scientific community. In order to meet this, it is important to acknowledge that the public largely forms its opinions on the basis of issues that impact on their own experience. Action is therefore taking place across Government to establish meaningful indicators that are relevant to the public, scientists and policy-makers alike.
