UK Science and Society strategy
The story so far
In 2008, the Department launched a consultation on science and society in the UK to canvas views on how we should develop our skills base, improve science communications and build public confidence in science.
Five independent expert groups took forward the key areas which emerged from the consultation, including establishing better evaluation methods and data sharing:
- Science For All - Aiming for a cultural shift in attitudes to science
- Science and the Media - Working towards both a science literate media and a media literate scientific community
- Science and Learning - Facilitating the learning of Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
- Science for Careers - Influencing career choice and improving career advice
- Science and Trust - Increasing public trust in the conduct of science
The expert groups have now published their action plans. To find out more about the groups, discuss their plans get involved please visit the interactive web site.
