About this Event

The role of science for democratic societies has never been more important. Treating science as a global public good, amid rampant privatization of scientific research, is a powerful structuring concept for science policy, and it offers a possible lens for interpreting the human right to participate in science. The purpose of the meeting is to explore the theoretical and practical consequences of this move for science governance and scientific research.
