Science as a global public good? From the right to participate in science to science governance

Science+ meeting organised by Professor Geoffrey Boulton FRSE MAE FRS and Professor Michela Massimi FRSE FRAS MAE.

The role of science for democratic societies has never been more important. Treating science as a global public good, amid rampant privatisation of scientific research, is a powerful structuring concept for science policy, and it offers a possible lens for interpreting the human right to participate in science. The purpose of the meeting is to explore the theoretical and practical consequences of this move for science governance and scientific research.
