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:

Esther Mirjam-Sent (Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
