Sign up for the 2019 "Introduction to the relationship between science and society" course

The fourth edition of the "Introduction to the relationship between science and society" course will take place this year from March 13 to April 10, with one session a week.

The aim of the course is to investigate the changing relationship between science and society and to provide points for discussion on the questions raised by these developments. It will also attempt to raise awareness of how scientific arguments can contribute to topical issues, via a group session in the afternoon on the question "Should mosquitoes be eradicated?".

Speakers include philosophy and sociology researchers. The course is primarily aimed at PhD students, post-doctoral fellows and junior researchers but is open to everyone interested in the topic, both scientists and non-scientists.

A final half-day will be held for participants to present their conclusions to the course speakers and other scientists.

The deadline for registration is February 15, 2019.
