Barcelona: science comes to town
"The most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010". These were the terms in which the 2000 Lisbon strategy described a future European Union focused on the “knowledge society”. But how should the vital issues raised by science be shared with society and its citizens? Last December, the University of Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona (ES) hosted the first European Forum on Science Journalism to consider the question.

Changes underway
A professor at the Université du Quebec à Montréal (UQAM) and researcher at the Centre interuniversitaire sur la science et la technologie (CIRST), Bernard Schiele has published many works on the role and impact of museums and the media in disseminating information on scientific culture.(1) While in Barcelona, he redefined for our benefit the interactions between science and society.

A researcher, pure and simple
The first thing that strikes you about Maria Blasco is how youthful-looking and unpretentious she is. At the age of 43, the Director of Basic Research at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), one of Europe’s leading centres for the study of cancer and ageing, is a woman who smiles a lot, is not in the least self-important and is passionate about her research work.

Cultural dynamics
“Culture”, a term with many different meanings, can denote a body of knowledge or a social entity. It is the latter meaning that interests the Cultural Dynamics cluster of projects under the NEST European programme, which is devoted to exploring emerging scientific fields. The aim of the Cultural Dynamics projects is to understand how cultural factors are passed on whilst at the same time evolving, in particular by shedding light on the issue of Europe’s multiple identities. The application of certain analytical tools used in the “hard” sciences (mathematics or biology) to “human data” is opening up innovative new horizons.
