European Commission
Science in SocietyBackground
Policy context
Lisbon and Göteborg Strategies (knowledge-based society, sustainable development) : political priorities of the European Union.
The success of these strategies require the involvement and active participation of citizens in the creation, sharing and dissemination of knowledge.
(Increasing?) distance and distrust from society regarding science and research.
Science in SocietyWork Programmes 2007 - 2010
Work Programmes 2007 - 2010:
Follow the action lines of the Science in Society Specific Programme adopted in 2006
Set out the actions to be undertaken during the year
Progression in total budget: 2007: € 29.9 million (21.8 for the calls for proposals) 2008 : € 41 million (29.9 for the calls) 2009: € 34.5 million (31.8 for the calls) 2010: € 51.5 million (46.6 for the calls)
New approach from 2009
• 2009 Work Programme presented a significant change in our approach.
• Prioritising more focused and structured actions with greater European added-value and impact.
• A more effective critical mass of projects involving a wide range of key actors
• This approach is developed further in 2010 and beyond
Work Programme 2010
• Greater research component • Pursuing broader public engagement in science and
research – Mobilisation and Mutual Learning actions• More focused work on ethics• Engaging with and modernising universities• Science Education: in-service teacher training• Reinforcing links between science education and careers • Gender and Research• Science and the Arts

SiS-2010 1.0-1Mobilisation and mutual learning actions
(1)- Each MML Action Plan will bring together a consortium of
actors from different fields to cooperate on a common set of Science in Society Actions over a period of four years.
- Transnational exchange of best practice & mutual learning
- Consortium of actors from different at least 3 different disciplines: science academies, research institutions, universities, national or regional ministries, cities, CSOs, museums and science centres, media organisation etc.
Science in Society Work Programme 2010
SiS-2010 1.0-1Mobilisation and mutual learning actions
(2)- Proposals must define the type of SiS issues that will be
addressed and the research fields to which they apply. - Examples in the call text of the issues that could be
addressed and the type of activity that could be carried out.
- Pay specific attention to the efficient management of the MML
- Impacts include « improved mobilisation of research organisations and other actors, including civil society actors, to engage together on joint science in society actions »
