Details
Research is often described as a public good, like a lighthouse guiding knowledge forward. Yet in practice, research straddles the line between a public and private good. Fueled by competing interests and shaped by growing complexity, research can feel closed to public scrutiny, participation, and debate. This session will invite audience discussion on how research might be reclaimed as a genuine public good.
