Centre for Science and Policy

Science and technology are having an ever greater impact on society.  New developments have led to significant advances in fighting hunger and disease, boosted economies, and changed the way that we live, work and communicate.

They have also resulted in unanticipated, negative impacts, raising social, ethical, economic and security dilemmas. Greater understanding of the implications of science and technology is now vital, and demands the world's best expertise - in the physical and social sciences; technology and engineering; and law and philosophy - in support of policy formulation.
