Inhaltsangabe

This book proposes to consider new ways in which science can be used to sustain our planet and enrich our lives. For science to remain a legitimate and trustworthy source of knowledge, society will have to engage in the collective processes of knowledge co-production, which not only includes science, but also other types of knowledge. This process of change has to include a new commitment to knowledge creation and transmission and its role in a plural society. Social responsibility has historically played an important role in science and engineering, but has lost momentum nowadays because many facets of science are lost due to reduction caused by the hybridization of science and policy. This book helps to release and reactivate social responsibility within contemporary science and technology.
