This document discusses how to bring research closer to education through responsible research and innovation. It provides examples of programs that promote public engagement and participation in all phases of the research process. These include establishing community advisory boards, participatory research projects involving students, and science communication platforms to facilitate dialogue between researchers and citizens. The goal is to transform the research system to be more inclusive, responsive and aligned with societal needs and values.

11. | Society wants to participate
What is the level of involvement citizens should have when
it comes to decisions made about science and technology?
Answer: Public dialogue is required (Req: 55% - Not Req: 37%)
77% of Europeans believe that
science and technology have a
positive impact in society
62% agree that science makes
our way of life change too fast
• 55% think that public
dialogue is required
