  1. WP 3 City Models Study Cities of Scientific CultureTim CaultonAgnes AllansdottirPLACES Conference23 September 2011

  2. Study Objective The primary objective of this research is to capture, in a systematic and methodologically sound manner, the defining characteristics of cities of scientific culture across Europe. The report of the study will be a key building block for the Local Actions Plansthat will be developed as a part of WP4

  3. Research Questions • What are the major drivers for the development of cities of scientific culture? • Who are the main actors? • How are activities organised and funded? • What is the impact of the diversity of different parts of Europe? • What do respondents themselves make of the term cities of scientific culture?

  4. Methodology • Identify around 20 cities that would be interesting cases for the study • Identify and established contacts with five actors in each, aiming to construct a pool of around 100 respondents • Design web based survey • Invitations were sent out to contacts by email • Numerous reminders!

  6. Findings and Results • What have been and will be the main drivers? • Who have been and will be the main actors? • What have been and will be the main activities? • Public participationnow and in the future • What form of organisationnow and in the future? • Fundsand sourcesof funding • Past and future challengesto cities of scientific culture

  15. Visions forCities of Scientific Culture The survey included an open ended question in the LOOKING AHEAD TO 2020 section, asking respondents to describe their vision of a city of scientific culturein the future. The responseswere extremely detailed and well articulated.

  16. Visions forCities of Scientific Culture Some patterns emerge from the material collected, for example: • In general, cities of scientific culture are seen as important drivers both for the local economy and civil society more generally • The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) agendain the UK has clearly had a significant impact there and is also referred to in other parts of Europe • Science is cultureappears to be the prevalent framing in countries where the dominant language is derived from Latin, such as France and Italy • The results indicate the importance of an inclusive European dialogue over what scientific culturemeans

  17. Conclusions • Science cultural activities appear to be thriving in the cities or regions that participated in this study • Citizens’ participation and public consultation exercises are clearly considered the road ahead to 2020 • Growing awareness of the importance of the private sector in cities of scientific culture presents an interesting challenge for actors engaged in science in society activities • The visions of 2020 emphasise the interaction between the local/regional and the European level

  18. Conclusions • Strong expectations towards the EU to contribute to setting the agenda • Cultures of science seem to have diverse semantic connotations across the cultural zones of Europe • The results strongly suggest that efforts should be made to reinforce the European-wide inclusive dialogue over what constitutes European cultures of scienceand how to harness the potential for responsible and sustainable innovation in Europe
