It's not too late to take part in DIUS's science and society consultation

The Department for Innovation Universities and Skills, is running a consultation to get the views of scientists, media, businesses, teachers and the wider public about key issues on the relationship between Science and Society. Among the many vital questions are how to promote greater public involvement, enjoyment and confidence in science, how to increase the number of young people taking up science as a career and how high quality engagement could be recognised and rewarded.

At the heart of the consultation is an interactive online 'hub' which aims to focus debate online.

Alternatively contact: scienceandsociety@dius.gsi.gov.uk if you have any queries, feedback and ideas.

The consultation closes on 17 October 2008
