Science and the Media

The communication on scientific advances and risks is one of the cornerstones for the building of a knowledge-based society: a passion for science as well as a better understanding of the opportunities and limits of scientific enterprise in improving living conditions for societies and individuals need to be stimulated. Adequate use of the media in improving the quality of science/society dialogues has been at the heart of an ALLEA Working Group which may be re-established as part of a more global  approach.
