Produktbeschreibung

Big Science facilities, also called large-scale research infrastructures (LSRIs), have delivered incredible progress in our fundamental understanding of Nature over the past 75 years. Given the required amount of public investment in Big Science, it is critical to understand these economic spill-overs and to develop tools for quantifying the wider socioeconomic impacts of Big Science facilities. This volume discusses how we can become more systematic in extracting and maximising the value and impact of Big Science and rethink their wider societal benefit. Big Science reaches beyond disciplinary boundaries and beyond borders to deliver global visibility, recognition and impact for scientific researchers - and not just with fellow scientists, but through wider engagement of mainstream media, industry, policy-makers and the general public. A "go-to" reference source that evaluates Big Science along its many coordinates - scientific, economic, societal, educational and cultural - is long overdue.

The essays in this book sketch out a framework on the nature and extent of the societal impacts of Big Science and the mechanisms that generate such effects, as well as highlight the complex realities that can be used as guidelines to fund Big Science facilities, and how we can maximise their impact. As science itself has become a subject of study and debate beyond the scientific community, these collected essays aim to encourage a dialogue with relevant stakeholders (such as scientists, policymakers, research managers and industry) and to highlight the complex role that science plays in today's society.
