Description: This book is the result of a series of discussions initiated by an FP6 project carried out during the year 2007 and which focused on issues of Science and Technology (S & T) governance and ethics in Europe and Asia. The discussions not only in increased mutual understanding between the two regions, but also produced a series of collaborative initiatives between Europe and China on bringing science and society closer together. The main purpose of this book is to provide an actual analytical description of the different facets of Science in Society (SiS) in Europe and China. It also gives an overview of the lessons learned and provides some thoughts on the next steps that are needed to bring the S & T policy of the two regions closer together under a common understanding.--Publisher's description.
