Abstract (Deutsch)

The proposal research supports the EC's continuing monitoring of public perceptions of the life sciences through the 'Eurobarometer' survey. The next survey, proposed for 1999 (henceforth EB99), designed with contributions from the present applicants, aims to preserve time series comparability and incorporates new questions covering recent developments in life sciences. The present proposal aims to provide: a report of the results of EB99, together with the time series data; a European comparative analysis of the representations of the life sciences in policy making, media coverage and public perceptions; and a series of case study analyses of key dimensions of the public debate about life sciences in the late will be disseminated in two new books, an international conference, and presentations at national and international meetings.
