"The Socialisation of the European research in the perspective of the Knowledge Society. Interpretations and policies with the contribution of social sciences”
Brussels, June 26th, 2009 - The European Economic and Social Committee
The Issues
All contemporary societies are experiencing a shift towards the so-called “knowledge society”, characterised by social diversification, globalisation and increasing importance of cognitive and affective dynamics. In this framework, scientific and technological research has taken on an importance it never had before in all sectors of social life. At the same time, the way research is produced is also changing: it involves a decidedly broader number of actors and stakeholders; it is growingly result-oriented; it is increasingly taking on a mainly trans-disciplinary nature; it is asked to be more effective, accountable, and able to generate benefits for people and industry.
These transformations have greatly increased the relevance of social dynamics embedded in scientific and technological research and made science-society relationships more intense, complex but also problematic and difficult to manage. Hence the need for a stronger action aimed at socialising European research, raising its capacity in acknowledging, interpreting and dealing with the social elements involved in science and technology. This necessarily entails also a closer cooperation between natural scientists and social researchers, overcoming the many social, cultural and organisational barriers which are presently making this cooperation difficult to achieve.
The three-year project “Social sciences and the European Research Capacities” (SS-ERC), carried out in the framework of the FP6 by a consortium of six European social research institutes, has been focused on these issues. Project results have been collected in the Handbook on the Socialisation of Scientific and Technological Research, which provides interpretative and practical orientations for flanking research policies with new specific science and technology socialisation measures and for coordinating and reinforcing the existing ones.
