In collaboration with UNED, CSIC and FECYT 
5TH WINTER WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND PHILOSOPHY 
 
SCIENCE, DEMOCRACY AND ECONOMICS 
Madrid, April 11th to 13th, 2005 
 
Invited co-ordinator: 
Prof. Steve Fuller (University of Warwick, UK) 
 
We are seeing recently a radical transformation of the social contract of 
science . According to the old contract, the State warranted a high and 
growing funding to scientific research, deciding its priorities, but 
minimising the political interferences on scientists internal  
practices. Public distrust to some research lines, and decreasing public 
financial capacity, make necessary a new social contract . Although it is 
not clear what this new contract should contain, it must satisfy at the 
least two basic demands: a critical and rational agreement by part of the 
citizens, and economic sustainability. 
 
The 5th Winter Workshop of the Urrutia Elejalde Foundation will be devoted 
to discuss and analyse a number of perspectives on the possible new 
deals of science. A preliminary list of speakers includes:
