Session transcript · Topic 4 · Dr. Michael Doser · CERN
Overview
Fundamental science depends on curiosity, long time horizons, international cooperation and an openness to uncertainty, criticism and failure.
Key ideas
- Big Science requires long-term political, financial and moral support.
- Research priorities need democratic legitimacy and broad scientific participation.
- Small Science can be more agile but may struggle to answer very large questions.
- Scientific collaboration should be inclusive and globally accessible.
From science to policy
The session highlights the importance of translating technical knowledge into institutions, cooperation and decisions that can be understood and acted on by parliamentarians and other public leaders.
