Discuss science and shape the future

Sciencehorizons website

A DTI-funded public engagement programme, Sciencehorizons, aims to broaden the debate on how developments in science and technology could be used in the future.

A new public engagement programme, Sciencehorizons, is offering teachers and their students the opportunity to influence government policy by discussing the science and technologies of the future. Launched in January by Malcolm Wicks MP, the minister for science and innovation, the one-year project is funded by the Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) and aims to broaden the debate on how developments in science and technology could be used in the future.
