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 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.
