The International Conference on Science in Society, organised for the first time in Spain by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), approved the creation of a global network for researchers in this area to foment a field which is perceived to be one of the most important academic disciplines in the 21st century because it studies how science transforms the public sphere.
The network will begin with the conference attendees - 188 participants from 33 countries and more than 150 universities worldwide. In addition, some universities have committed to the creation of an active and virtual center for communication to support and promote this area in their respective countries.
The international event took place from November 11-13 at the UC3M Leganés campus. The conference represented an opportunity to discuss in Spain, within the framework of Science Week, how such urgent issues are dealt with in other countries, issues such as the lack of scientific vocations in the West, comparison of scientific policies, public communication of science, and teaching innovations in science.
