to create a center for dialogue and meetings in Lund
Science and research don’t have the authority they used to have. Socially robust decisions need participation and engagement.
Focus on innovation and usefulness calls for new ways to communicate, including research, industry, and the public.
The direct meeting between researcher and public is appreciated as positive and rewarding for both parties.
A Science Center is excellent for meetings and as a hub in community and society development.
”Knowledge tourism” is increasing. People are more interested in spending leisure time for informal learning.
