  • First Online:
Futures of Science and Technology in Society

Abstract

Science and technology can, and should, play a role in meeting “grand challenges” of society. But how, exactly?

Source: Arie Rip, Science Institutions and Grand Challenges of Society: A Scenario. Asian Research Policy Journal, 2(1) (2011) 1-9. This paper is the slightly revised version of my keynote address to the 3rd KISTEP Foresight Symposium, Challenges and Strategies of the Future, Seoul, 19 August 2010.
