Consultation - A Vision for Science and Society (UK)
From: DIUS
Date published: 18 July 2008
Response due: 17 October 2008
Semta response submitted: 17 October 2008
Summary
The DIUS consultation to develop a Science and Society Strategy
was launched by the (then) Minister for Science and Innovation, Ian
Pearson at Thinktank in the Birmingham Science Museum. The
initiative aims to capture a range of views from the general
public, scientists, businesses, media, education and government. It
seeks input on three keys areas:
- How to improve communication, generate interest, increase
participation and convey the relevance of science
- How to build trust and confidence in scientific research in the
public and private sectors
- How to inspire young people from diverse backgrounds to become
tomorrow’s skilled scientists
Semta response
Rather than create a new response, Semta submitted a copy of the
Stage 3 report for the Bioscience SSA, a copy of the summary
leaflet, and a copy of our recent evidence to the DIUS STEM skills
supply and demand inquiry.
Next steps
The consultation is ongoing, and Semta will be considering
further activity as appropriate.
