Manifesto per un'educazione civica alla scienza

[Autom. eng. transl.] The main challenges of the contemporary world - from the climate to global health - have both a social and political dimension and a scientific and technological dimension. Policy makers cannot do without specialist knowledge, but the science available is often ambiguous, incomplete and multidisciplinary. Nico Pitrelli and Mariachiara Tallacchini propose a new approach to the relationship between scientific knowledge and the common rules of coexistence, a civic education in science that takes into account the roles, rights and responsibilities of citizens, those who do research and those who make decisions. Because democracy today is above all a problem of knowledge.
