Objective
The issue of civil society involvement in research has received little attention. But the European vision of a knowledge-based society demands early dialogue between scientists, policymakers and civil society. Increasing the societal relevance of research implies numerous questions: In which cases and how civil society can be fruitfully involved in the regulation and production of scientific knowledge' How to prepare civil society organisations (CSOs) to participate in foresight and science policy activities and in research projects' How to get scientists interested in projects with CSOs' How to make the case to policy makers for the constructive participation of CSOs in research' How to ensure that scientists and CSOs can build common projects for Framework programme 7 (FP7)' Our project will attempt to explore these questions we propose
1) training sessions on socially-important scientific issues to build the capacity of CSOs to approach scientific questions.
2) workshops serving as research project " nurse ries ", identifying research topics for co-operation between CSOs and public research institutions and aiming at involving CSOs in future research projects for FP7.
3) a website, lasting beyond the project, providing a European-wide platform for exchange between CSOs and scientists.
4)an analysis of the European research system, raising awareness for CSOs and strengthening their capacity to benefit from European research.
5) meetings with members of the European Parliament and officers of different DGs of E C (presentation of our findings, generate discussions on how to bring European research closer to citizens).
Training sessions and workshops will identify ways to build links with research institutions and identify research groups interested in working wit h CSOs. The topics (showcases) address thematic priorities of FP 7 such as health, agriculture, nanotechnologies and socio-economic sciences.
