George Gaskell and colleagues designed, analysed interpreted the Eurobarometer 73.1 on Life Sciences Biotechnology as part of research project Sensitive Technologies European Public Ethics (STEPE), funded by Science in Society Programme EC’s Seventh Framework for Research Technological Development (FP7).
Based on survey data covering the full population of students enrolled in Danish engineering education autumn 2010, we explore motivational factors behind educational choice, with a particular aim comparing male and female students1 reasons for choosing career engineering. We find that women are significantly more influenced by mentors than men, while men tend to be motivated intrinsic financial factors, social importance profession. Parental influence is low across all programmes...
In this paper, we introduce the Societal Readiness (SR) Thinking Tool to aid researchers and innovators in developing research projects with greater responsiveness societal values, needs, expectations. The need for societally-focused approaches innovation-complementary Technology (TR) frameworks-is presented. Insights from responsible innovation (RRI) concepts practice, organized across critical stages of project-life cycles are discussed reference development SR Tool. tool is designed...
Reports of questionable or detrimental research practices (QRPs) call into question the reliability scientific evidence and trustworthiness research. A critical component ecosystem is organization within which takes place. We conducted a survey to explore attitudes beliefs European American researchers about organisations in they work, their own towards integrity policies.
Recent years have witnessed a ‘democratic turn’ towards active citizen participation in science and technology. The emerging participatory approach has been framed as critique of reductionist, outdated ‘deficit model’ competence, literacy or understanding. Participatory modes involvement with are presented competing rather than complementary offering strategy for making technology accountable open to society. We use latent class models develop cross-national measures competence...
Abstract The objective of this article is to contribute the emerging attempts foster empirical, quantitative approaches Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), provide a low-resolution map European RRI landscape, which can serve as vehicle for international learning. presents indicators aimed at characterising countries. It examines empirical structure data collected in ‘Monitoring evolution benefits Innovation’ (MoRRI) project reports patterns across Europe. Factor analysis applied...
Questionable research practices (QRP) are believed to be widespread, but empirical assessments generally restricted a few types of practices. Furthermore, conceptual confusion is rife with use and prevalence QRPs often being confused as the same quantity. We present hitherto most comprehensive study examining across scholarly fields knowledge production modes. survey perception, use, predictors among 3,402 researchers in Denmark 1,307 UK, USA, Croatia Austria. Results reveal remarkably...
In search of differences and similarities in relation to the role location science European societies, we use empirical information from 37 countries as a platform for developing typologies concerning dimensions society. These capture clusters reveal significant heterogeneity across Europe, providing point departure international learning, while also demonstrating challenges that institutions face their promotion Research Area, shared priorities common model Combining national-level...
Abstract After a decade of efforts to mainstream Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) across Europe, the policy momentum is now uncertain. We explore how 217 organisations perceive responsibility in relation their work, what mechanisms they apply promote responsible practices, hindrances promoting RRI observe. Most are unfamiliar with but employ diverse perceptions it nonetheless. Civil society primarily outward oriented; collaborating others hosting science events. Private companies...

The understanding of relations between science and the public is divided two competing paradigms: one that focuses on citizen competence one-way dissemination knowledge, another emphasizes participation dialogue. This article proposes an integrative framework regards as important dimensions 'scientific citizenship', changing balance these dimensions. Recounting developments in Denmark, it argued trajectory scientific citizenship Denmark runs counter to broader European trend. In 2000s,...
This paper introduces a special section of Science and Public Policy on science in society Europe. Based extensive data collected for the Monitoring Research Activities Society Europe (MASIS) project, contributions to this explore pertinent issues related location, role responsibility across EU member states associated countries. By developing analytical typologies classifying countries, collection papers provides novel detailed picture It reveals considerable variation regarding...
In the context of growing societal demand and interdependency, universities need to prioritize their 'third mission' activities balance them against core functions. Individual researchers too are faced with multiple external constituencies various mechanisms for interaction. The degree, target, mode involvement actors must be considered in light also high performance expectations concerning traditional teaching research activities. this study, we explore patterns third mission among 652 at...
We examine the impact of Fukushima accident (March 2011) on global public perceptions nuclear power. contrast conceptually and empirically two models, an event & effect (EE) model [Kim, Y., Kim, M., W.

(2013), who modelled retrospective opinion changes a set “objective” predictors, using historical data 1996–2016 for 23+ countries. The EE shows little explanatory...
Various stakeholders in science have put research integrity high on their agenda. Among them, funders are prominently placed to foster by requiring that the organizations and individual researchers they support make an explicit commitment integrity. Moreover, need adopt appropriate practices themselves. To facilitate this, we recommend develop implement a Research Integrity Promotion Plan (RIPP). This Consensus View offers range of examples how already promoting integrity, distills 6 core...
Republican ideals of active scientific citizenship and extensive use deliberative, democratic decision making have come to dominate the public participation agenda, academic analyses focused on deficit involvement vis-à-vis these normative ideals. In this paper we latent class models explore what Eurobarometer survey data can tell us about ways in which people participate tacit or policy-active with developments science technology, but instead focusing distance between observed dominant,...
In this article, we explore the connectedness of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) profiles organizational properties 188 European higher education institutions (HEIs). Empirically identify three distinct clusters HEIs in terms their RRI profile. One cluster is characterized by low uptake, while other two employ a range policies procedures related to gender equality, ethics public engagement. We find that active were organizationally very alike, rather high degree research intensity...
