The Art Of Communicating Science,
Innovation & Sustainable Development
Science, the environment and sustainable development are headline-making subjects, so they must be important, right? Why, then, is scientific research crying out for more public and private investment? Why are young people not entering science careers, and experienced researchers leaving their labs for greener pastures? What can be done about it?
First, accurate information is needed on the extent of the problem. The general public needs this to better understand the issues. Markets need it to know where the innovation gaps are and how to plug them with fresh ideas and funding. Policy-makers need it before deciding on strategies, funding options and policies to reverse the negative trends and/or promote the positive ones. The stakes are high: Europe’s socio-economic fabric is in the balance.
