Research and society, what's new?    

The 'Science in Public Conference 2012', now in its 7^th year, will take place in London on 20^th and 21^st July 2012, at the University College Ucl.

It aims at bringing together those strands of academia which consider the relationships between science and 'the public', multiple publics, and the public sphere. This conference provides a wide-ranging platform for discussing and debating emerging cross-disciplinary perspectives, as well as showcasing recent and developing research findings.

Delegates come from many disciplines: science and technology studies, history of science, geography, psychology, cultural studies, media studies, sociology, science communication, development studies, English literature, science policy studies and more.

This year, the conference will host the initial meeting of the Science in Public Research Network: an opportunity for academics and others interested in research to meet, discuss the field, and stay in touch beyond the conference.
