Reimagining the Relationship Between Science and Society In a world where scientific discovery increasingly shapes public policy, legal frameworks, environmental strategies, and even collective identity, States of Knowledge: The Co-Production of Science and Social Order offers a profound and timely re-examination of how we understand the intricate dance between knowledge and power. Edited by renowned […]

There is a paradox in contemporary science: never before have its ideas been so important—and never before has the public’s attention been so difficult to attract and sustain.Many scientists possess deep expertise, but when they stand before an audience—especially outside an academic context—they sound monotonous, cautious, sometimes even distant, or in other words, boring to

By David J. Bennett & Richard C. Jennings (Eds.) | Cambridge University Press In an age where scientific literacy has become not just an asset but a necessity, Successful Science Communication: Telling It Like It Is arrives as a vital, multifaceted guide for anyone engaged in or intrigued by the complex interface between science and

What if science didn’t progress through steady accumulation, but through sudden, paradigm-shifting upheavals? That’s the question Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions dared to ask — and it permanently altered how we understand the evolution of scientific knowledge. Originally published in 1962 and now celebrating over 50 years of influence, Kuhn’s slim but

Edited by Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Dan Kahan, and Dietram A. Scheufele (Oxford University Press, 2017) In an era of climate denial, vaccine hesitancy, and viral conspiracy theories, it is tempting to assume that the solution lies in providing more information, more data, more facts. The Oxford Handbook of the Science of Science Communication makes a

Few books have reshaped not just academic fields, but the very way we think about knowledge itself. Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one such rare and seismic work. First published in 1962 and now celebrated in this 50th Anniversary Edition, Kuhn’s book remains as provocative, relevant, and widely debated as ever.

The Great Paradox of Generative AI Large language models continue to impress with their ability to converse like real humans—fluidly, convincingly, and often with remarkable depth. They can explain quantum physics in layman’s terms, summarise hundreds of pages of text, or hold a conversation that sounds like you’re speaking with an expert. And yet, beneath

From “PDF Folders” to Intelligent Research Assistants In almost every research project, there comes a point when the documentation begins to outweigh the science itself. Work packages, methodologies, ethics protocols, reports, internal memos, multiple document revisions—formally everything is there, but in practice, knowledge is “locked away” in dozens of files. A new PhD student doesn’t

In the coming years, Horizon Europe, the European Union’s flagship research and innovation programme, will place strong emphasis on one of its most ambitious initiatives: the Mission “Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030.” Far more than a classic environmental project, this mission represents a systemic effort to connect science, innovation, policy, and society in

In today’s Europe, science, innovation, and public policy often unfold not just in labs, universities, or testbeds, but between the lines of forms, annexes, and reports. Flagship EU funding programmes like Horizon Europe and the European Structural and Investment Funds rank among the most ambitious instruments in the world for supporting knowledge, technology, and societal
