Science & Society
The Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência (IGC) promotes the values of science in society, seeking to bring ordinary citizens closer to science and fostering a critical, collaborative, participatory, confident, knowledgeable and inclusive identity. In order to help society respond to some of the greatest social challenges of our time, the Public Engagement unit, the Lab in a Box Project and the Active Citizenship Programme promote science communication initiatives - education, public engagement and active citizenship in science - aimed at diverse audiences and stakeholders.
