|
The issue of civil society involvement in research has not received enough |
|
attention. But the European vision of a knowledge-based society demands |
|
an early dialogue between scientists, policy makers and civil society. To |
|
this end, the STACS project will seek to bridge the gap between research |
|
and civil society and find common projects to work on for the future. |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
More specifically, the STACS project will provide: |
|
<ol> |
|
<li>training sessions on socially important scientific issues to build the |
|
capacity of civil society,</li> |
|
<li>workshops to identify interesting research topics for cooperation, |
|
especially in the European Commission 7th framework programme,</li> |
|
<li>a web site to provide a platform for exchange between civil society |
|
and scientists,</li> |
|
<li>an analysis of the European research system and raising awareness |
|
of and for civil society,</li> |
|
<li>opportunities for the members of the European Parliament to get engaged |
|
in the promotion of civil society in research.</li> |
|
</ol> |
|
</p> |
|
<p> |
|
The partners participating in this project is Association pour la création d'une Fondation Sciences Citoyennes (coordinating), European Public Health Alliance, |
|
Réseaux Semences Paysannes, Greenpeace UK, DEMOS, and Institut Mensch, Ethik |
|
und Wissenschaft from |
|
France, Belgium, United Kingdom, and Germany. |

<h3>FSFE Contributions</h3> |

|
<p>The FSFE participates in the project to provide the necessary competence |
|
on Free Software and related fields. We will organise a capacity building |
|
session for |
|
civil society on Free Software, as well as a workshop for researchers and |
|
civil society both to identify projects related to Free Software to work on. |
|
</p> |
|

|
The first capacity building session, <a href="london">Free Software |
|
as a Social Innovation</a> took place in London on the |
|
2nd of November 2007. The workshop <a href="belgrade">Free Software |
|
Research and Civil Society</a> took place in Belgrade on the |
|
