A society that is excited by science, values its importance to our social and economic wellbeing, feels confident in its use, and supports a representative, well-qualified scientific workforce.
To mark the launch of the consultation, we asked a number of leading scientists and policymakers to give us their thoughts on the role of science and the issues raised by the consultation:
This consultation site supports the development of a new Science and Society Strategy for the UK, looking at the engagement of science with society in its broadest sense, including the use of science by society, science education and the diversity of the science workforce.
The consultation period closed on Friday 17 October, but as the strategy is developed we'll continue to canvass opinion on the emerging ideas.
