What innovation is needed to guide research towards public concerns? How can civil society fully participate in the co-creation of knowledge? The 5th Living Knowledge Conference will focus on getting more insight into processes, and develop specific policy recommendations that resonate with public concerns and articulated research needs.
The PERARES online debate series starts with a pilot on nanotechnology: NGOs, industry and government previously have initiated discussions which now will be compared considering the possibilities of public influence on and participation in the development of a new technology area.
